Will you listen?

Speaking up and speaking one's mind out is encouraged, especially in asian's culture, where we tend to be more reserved. However, that's not so much the case in Singapore context, seems like everyone is very keen to tell everyone else what he/she thinks n its the all out kind of approach.

I personally was a typical shy boy back in Sec school. One great thing about studying here is I learn to speak up a lot. But stepping into the coorperate world, I realize to Listen is probably a more valuable trait than being able to speak. Be it work life or with your friends around. How often do we hold on our urge to tell, and listen attentively to what other's has to say?

You will probably be surprise how much harder it is to find someone who can listen properly. I mean just think how often you use this words on someone, stubborn, stupid, id**t, f**k*r, j*rk, <-- well obviously they ain't listening to you enough right?

And of course, bf are obliged to listen, but even they don't most of the time, right?
