learned something from the MC readings...
10 bad listening habits:
1. calling the subject uninteresting
2. criticizing the speaker's delivery and mannerisms
3. getting over-stimulated by something the speaker says
4. listening primarily for facts
5. trying to outline everything
6. faking attention to the speaker
7. allowing interfering distractions
8. avoiding difficult material
9. letting emotion-laden words arouse personal antagonism
10. wasting the advantage of thought speed (day-dreaming)
i am not a good listener, i think. I am a goldfish with the shortest attention span.
seeing this picture reminds me of my little pet Pumpkin. I miss him! sniff. he was the cutest, roundest little ryukin goldfish! where have you seen a goldfish that does tricks? I could make him go inside my hand and stay there, he only eats when i feed him and he also lets me tickle his round little tummy.
