art of listening is important.

hearing is nt listening.
in hearing, one is aware of e words
but may nt process them.
in listening, one needs to understand e words,
reflect and think clearly before embarking on clear talk.

we hear by chance but listen by choice.

chance upon someone's blog and i find it meaningful,


there's a problem or so call conflict going on within 2 diff grps of my friends.
well,
its quite saddening when i dont knw what to do to help them.

my lecturer asked : 'why do humans have 2 ears and 1 mouth?"
simply because e creator of human wants us to listen more than we speak.
an ethics or "what-so-ever is it called" i learnt in lec today.

well, maybe its true tt we humans tend to speak more than we listen,
or tt we chose to keep our mouth shut tt leads to many miscommunications out thr.

well,
i just hope everyone will just sit down and listen to what each other have to say,
come up with solutions or decisions to end e conflict ;
be it good or bad ending.
its better than sitting ard doing nth and throw this whole thing behind e mind,
hoping everything will be gone just like this.
maybe to me, it looks like avoiding,
like what i used to do.

when you were young, someone will always hold your hand when you cross the road. no matter who tt person is, you’ll know tt he/she is someone you can depend on, someone whom you can trust.

as you grow older, you would realize tt nobody holds your hand anymore. you are dependant of yourself, to see e world in a different concept altogether. you are responsible to e things you do, e words you believe, e people you trust.

trusting someone is never easy; getting someone to trust you is even more difficult in this reality world where dangers pound upon a blink of the eye.

i believe in some point of your life, you’re bound to get cheated at least once. you’ll feel sad, because you are in a lost. e world seems crashing down as you feel isolated once again. e person who’s holding your hand lets go, never spare a thought on what will become of you. you’ll feel angry, because you feel like an idiot. your judgment has failed you and you won’t know whom to trust again.

you decided to walk alone, alone in e mist of darkest, alone in the valley of mistrusted region, wherever you go, loneliness is felt. friends are no longer people you think you can depend on let alone entering your forbidden world of closed heart.

as times goes by, you’ve learned tt trusting someone is a serious bet which you must bare e loss if one day e odds are against you. you tried to walk e road once again. this time, you tried to hold others hands. making ppl believe in you and trust you may not seems as easy as you think. e responsibility of not letting go is much tougher than just holding onto one’s hand.

finally, someone trusts you. you are no longer alone but in the warm of true friendship as you may say. from this moment on, your life begins to change. dark alley becomes busy street of joy & laughter. you have relived life once more, you said. and let this moment prolongs, as you hold e hands of trust and leading them to light and somewhere safe. . . .
