I believe in listening and talking, and I believe in it because if you don’t listen, you will not be able to talk or either explain to others about what you feel or want. There are a lot of advantages in listening to people whether they are adults or children. Sometimes even children can say things that you wouldn’t expect from them because they are really smarter than they look.
I chose listening because I tried it and I’m surprised that you get a lot from just listening to others. I have always listened to my family discussions, and later I can see that I know a lot of stuff about many things in life. I know a lot of things from listening. When I graduated from high school I didn’t know what I would do and what I would study. I listened to my family and they told me what should I do and what is the best for me. I asked my father what I should do. What should I study? He told me “you have to think of your future first and see what can help you later. And he told me that I should choose one of the business majors, because it’s good and we need it in our country, and it will help me later. When I look for job”. After listening to my father I decided to study Management Information System, one of the business majors. Now when anyone asks me about my major I tell them and they tell me that is a very good major and I have made the right decision .Listening to my father helped me a lot in choosing my major . I did what they told me to do and I’m happy with it.
Listening has a lot of advantages which we don’t think about or believe that we can learn something from. When you listen a lot without discussing things, you’ll not be able to answer and, discus them with a lot of self-confidence. For example, at school in any class, while you are listening and you didn’t understand something, you have to tell the teacher that you don’t understand something and you have to discuss it with her, so you can understand it .However, if you don’t tell her that you don’t understand, you will not be able to discuss it later .In this case you will use talking and listening.
Listening to music can be important too, it can be an inspiring melody which makes the person maybe feel better or more relaxed. For me I really love listening to YoYo Ma soundtracks because I can feel that it always make me calm down, and that’s why I think President Obama chose him to perfume at the inauguration performance.
When you care to listen to someone, you make him feel better.
I remember one of my friends had a problem in her school and she was sad. Her grades were not good because she was sick and she couldn’t study well .She talked to me and I listened to her and told her what to do. I told her that she has to do her best next time and that’s fine, it can happen to anyone and she can fix everything later. She felt good after that .At that time I was so happy because I made her happy.
On the other hand, I like people to listen to me as well. Sometimes I feel like I have a lot of things to say and I really need someone to listen to me .I usually talk to my sister, my mother or my best friend I feel better when I talk to them . I remember when I first came to the United States two years ago I was by myself and It was something different to me because I it was the first time that I went to somewhere without my family and it was hard .Every day I was talking to my mom and my sister. I was telling them how much I missed them and how being far away from home and far away from your family is hard .They were listening to me all the time and they tried to make me feel better.
I believe in talking too, because when you talk, they listen, and when they listen a lot of good things happen. As you can see, talking and listening are the same. They both bring goodness and joy. Family gatherings are the best because they always bring goodness and joy to me. Just listening to them makes me feel good and happy .When we gather together every week, we listen to my grandmother’s stories about my aunts or my mother and how they were when they were kids. I like it when my mother says something about her sisters when they were young. Every week we talk, listen to new funny things about their childhood or about other things. I pray to God every day to keep them safe for me. If you learned how to talk, you will know how to listen to others.
Hiding your feeling would cause you a lot of negative things for example physical illnesses or mental illnesses, However , once you talk to someone and tell him or her about what make you either happy or sad it is the best therapy ever, so talking is healing .
I lost my father two years ago. I was shocked and sad for sure. I couldn’t handle it, because that was the most t shocking news I ever heard in my life. I couldn’t imagine my life, home and everything without him. I kept myself in my room for two weeks everyone was talking to me but I wouldn’t answer them. After a while I thought about it and I asked myself, what was I doing?? Then, I talked to my family and friends, and I told them that I was sad and I couldn’t imagine my life without him .They told me don’t be sad and they tried to calm me down. After that day I felt much better.
Here I am. I came to finish my college and get back home to get a great job and make him prouder than ever.
I remember one of my friends who had the same situation four years ago, when her father passed away. She was shocked and she was not talking to anyone. My friends and I were with her all the time. We wanted her to talk or listen to us to feel better. We tried everything with her and after a while she talked to us and she told us how she felt and how hard it is when you lose someone you love, and how shocked she was, and she felt better after that.
Even children although they are really young like to talk and listen. We can see that every single child has an imaginary friend to talk to. At the end I believe in TALKING AND LISTENING. They both have the greatest therapy in the world and every person needs to talk about their feelings and share their thoughts with the WORLD. Adults talk to your children. Be their friends. Children paint and color what you want to show the world your creations and skills.
