listening....

Yesterday...

It was nice to meet up with Jeff, Uncle Chua, Shan and Jas. Some of us are away..I just came back from Denmark and Uncle Chua just came back from Consumer Electronic Show(ie the biggest ever computer show in the whole world..remember HD DVD vs Blu ray) held in Las Vegas..

It was even nicer for the fact that I can be around during a weekend. To most of the people, 5 days of hardworking weekdays come 2 days of enjoying weekend. Not so for mi in the Heavy Transport Operator service industry. I value my weekends alot, alot and alot.

Lots of catching up...which strongly deviate from the initial plan to play mahjong. I am still learning how to listen, though the habit of interrupting a person's speech is reducing on my part...

Listening pointers...recalls a motivational book that i read recently

1. Undivided attention to the speaker
2. People r not interested in mi-they r only interested in themselves
3. Open arms & wrist - welcome!
4. Listen then speak!!
