During my reading of Chapter 4 I began to think about the
question of what do I think about when others talk? To be honest I really think
it depends on what our conversation is about. If the conversation is about
something I am interested in I will usually let the other person finish
whatever they are saying, think about how I feel and then respond. I do not
really think a lot while other people are speaking, I usually try and be a good
listener that way I can respond accordingly. After listening to someone I do
not write what they say down; I can typically remember all the most important
details of what they were talking about. Unless it is notes in class then I
write down everything because I am not sure what is the most important thing
being said. Overall, I would say that I am
a pretty good listener and take everything that people say in to account
before responding.
I really enjoyed reading your post. I think you make a lot of great points that I can relate too. When it comes to listening I feel that I am a good listener and it sounds as though you are as well. I think that when it comes to writing things down when people speak, I find it distracting and I am pretty good at being able to respond accordingly. I think you make a good point about taking notes in class though, I feel that notes in class is different because that information needs to be studied later down the road. I have found that when something interests you it is easier to remember. An example, lecture versus talking with a friend. Great post!
