16．Too often we complain about others not listening，pretending that we ourselves can't make any mistakes，yet in our hearts we know that many of the mistakes we make come about because we haven't listened carefully enough．We get things wrong because we haven't quite understood what someone meant when they were talking to us．Anyone who has ever taken the minutes of a long meeting will know how hard it is to remember---despite the benefit of notes---exactly what everyone said．But success depends on getting things right---and that means listening．
Listening is not the same thing as hearing； it is not an effort actively．It demands attention and concentration．It may mean guessing the speaker for additional information or for further explanation---it is always better to ask than to continue regardless and get things wrong．However，if you allow your mind to think something else carelessly （freely），even for a few minutes，you'll miss what the speaker is saying------probably at the very moment when he or she is saying something very critical or the key things．And not having heard，you won't know you've missed anything until it's too late．
The most common bad habit we have is to start thinking of what we are going to say about the subject long before the other speaker has finished．We then stop listening．Even worse，this often adds rudeness to less attention，as once you have decided what to say there is a fair chance you will interrupt to say it．Good listeners don't interrupt．In fact it is often worth explaining the main idea of what you have just been told before going on to make your own points．Nobody is hurt by this and it shows that you have listened well．
Above all be patient and accept that many people are not very good communicators．It's helpful to remember that the ways people move and position while they are speaking can reveal or express a great deal about what they are saying．It is also important that you should put yourself in the other person's place，both intellectually and emotionally；it will help you to understand what they are getting at and form a reaction．But don't be too clever．Faced with a know-all，many people keep quiet because they see no point in continuing．
