Our best listener(s)!

I think listening is an effort where a listener is providing opportunity for the speaker to tell the whole message. It is because a listening exercise might convert into hearing activity when human hears words which they disfavor or would not like to know. For example, a student would hear a History teacher talking throughout the class regarding biographies
of i-have-forgotten-what-i'd-learn-in-history instead of listening with their eyes, heart and undivided attention.

Secondly, a listener would be giving one's time to the speaker. For instance, live audience and tv listeners have listened to Tomok's confessions at final stage of One In A Million singing competition. In the process of listening to his stories, listeners are giving time to Tomok to tell his narratives and his requests. Given the chance to be heard, Tomok had change the perceptions of nation which resulted him as the champion from being the underdog.

On top of that, listening would create least expectations for the listener himself or herself. It is because the listener would hear words that might change their firm decisions. Namely, one would forgive the speaker due to the speaker's narratives about being late for a business meeting.

Lastly, listening would supply messages about the speaker's needs. Thus, we can help people like poor Africans after we listen to them.

More importantly,
we already have a credible listener from the start of our life because...
God always listens to us and our prayers!
