People often resort to exaggeration in an effort to get their own way. Let s call exaggeration what it is lying. Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer. Three Keys for Good Listening As we have seen, there is no communication if there is no listening. But I want to go one step further.
Good communication requires good listening.
If possible, stop what you are doing and concentrate on what the other person is saying. On occasion I will even jot down notes as the other person is speaking so I am able to more accurately remember what is being said. I have found it is a good idea to ask some clarifying questions, to be sure that you understand what is being said. Because sometimes what the other person says is not the same as what you understand them to have said. Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.
