00:00How to become a good listener?
00:02When you are too much in a hurry to put forth your own point,
00:07then you don't want to listen to the other.
00:09I think I like patience.
00:12Lack of patience can sometimes come from lack of courage.
00:18When there are two soldiers in front of each other,
00:21would they be patient?
00:24In fact, they would prefer to shoot before the other does.
00:28Right? Right?
00:30Because they are afraid.
00:33Before he shoots, let me finish him off.
00:35That's what often happens in a conversation.
00:40The two parties take each other as competing soldiers,
00:47as adversaries.
00:50And then you try to outpace the other and outshout the other.
00:56Because it is not an exchange of thoughts anymore.
01:00It is an exchange of bullets.
01:02If he shoots first, I am gone.
01:05So I will be impatient.
01:07Let me just kill the whole thing off before it escalates.
01:12You get this?
01:13Now this will happen when you are not sure of your position.
01:15When you will know that you are operating only from belief,
01:20therefore you are vulnerable, therefore you will be afraid.
01:23If I know where I am coming from, why should I be afraid?
01:26And if I am not afraid, I can be patient.
01:30First of all, are you convinced of your own position?
