Do you know that shortly after hearing something,most of us can recall only 50% of the original message.Within two to eight weeks,we can recall only 25% or less of the original message.Our mental attitudes reduce our ability to retain what we hear.
Some suggestions to being a good listener are mentioned below.
First of all,stop tailing----you can’t listen while you are tailing.
Ask questions when you don’t understand,when you need further clarification,when you want them to like you and when you want to show that you are listening.
Don't interrupt----give them time to say what they have to say.
Concentrate on what they are saying----actively focus your attention on their words,their ideas and their feelings as they relate to the subject.
Look at the speakers----by looking,it gives them confidence that you are, in fact,listening. It helps you to concentrate too.
__________----try to forget your own worries and problems. Leave them outside of the meeting room. They will prevent you from listening well.
Understand the main points----concentrate on the main ideas and not the illustrative material.
Use the difference in rate----you can listen faster than you can talk. So use this rate difference to your advantage by staying on the right track,anticipating what they are going to say,thinking back over what they have just said and evaluating the development of their argument. You speak at about 100 to 150 words per minute,but you think at 250 to 500.
Learn to listen and you will achieve a great success in your life.

If you want to keep healthy, you should have good habits. What is a habit? It is something we do very often. We don’t even think when we do it. It has become a part of our lives.
“Early to bed, early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise.” This is an old English saying. Do you know what it means? It means that we must go to bed early at night and get up early in the morning. If we do, we shall be healthy, rich and clever.
Is this true? Perhaps it is. We know the body must have enough sleep. Boys and girls need eight or nine hours’ sleep every day.
Some people go to bed late at night and get up late in the morning. This is a very bad habit. Then you will not think or do your work well. Of course, you can’t be healthy, wealthy or wise.
When we get up early in the morning, we can go out and do morning exercises. Exercise means doing things with the body. Walking, running jumping, swimming, and playing ball games are all exercise. If we don’t exercise, our body will become weak.
Exercise helps the blood (血液) to move around inside our body. Blood takes food to all parts of our body.
Our body also needs air to breathe. Without air, we will die. We must have lots of clean fresh air if we want to be healthy. That is why many people like to go out to do morning exercise.

Do you know soon eleven biggest food and drink companies of the nations will adopt new rules to limit advertising to children under the age of 12, a move that restricts ads for products such as McDonald’s Happy Meals and the use of popular cartoon characters.
The companies announced their new rules ahead of a Federal Trade Commission hearing on Wednesday that steps up pressure on the companies to help solve the growing child obesity problem through more responsible marketing. The self-given rules include promises by seven companies who will no longer use licensed characters, such as those made popular through movies or TV shows, to advertise online or in print media unless they’re promoting their healthier products. Four other companies said they do not advertise at all to children under 12.
“I think this is a very good step forward. It’s not the end of the journey but it’s a good way down the road,” said Margo Wootan, Nutrition Policy Director at the nonprofit Center for Science in the Public Interest.
Since the FTC first publicly raised the issue in 2005, many of the companies have started selling products with better nutrition in mind. The companies hope their self-regulation efforts — organized through the Council of Better Business Bureaus — will fend off any new and more strict federal regulation.
Parents are happy to see new rules that restrict the use of cartoon characters such as Shrek, Dora the Explorer and SpongeBob SquarePants. “It catches their eyes when you’re shopping,” said Josephine Thomas, a mother of three boys who lives in Manhattan. “As soon as they see a Shrek or Mickey Mouse, they automatically look at that and they don’t see what they really need. That’s one of the biggest problems when you go shopping.” That’s one reason the food companies have said they will now only use licensed characters to advertise their “better for you” products.
