The key to all effective communication is listening. This is a skill and an art. Listening requires focus and attention.It helps solve problems and
paves way to new perspectives. Very often we miss this important part in relations; which is the root of all misunderstandings. You can be a "Gift
Person" just by being a good listener.

Being a good listener has many benefits; more so it makes the person you are listening to feel valued. By giving an ear to a person you
are actually giving your time to them.

In the fast paced life of today we often end up missing this important aspect. Thereby losing thread to many important areas in our life
and our relationships.
