Some Things Good Listeners Do Differently

侧耳倾听成就更棒的倾听者

They realize their shortcomings.

他们能意识到自己的缺点。

It may be a strange way of thinking about it, but accepting yourself is key to being a good listener overall, Sacco says.

这样的考虑方式或许奇怪，但是总体来讲，接受自己是成为好的倾听者的关键，萨科讲道。

In other words, we can't pick up on everything everyone is saying all the time -- and that's OK.

换言之，我们无法接收每个人讲的每件事——这没关系。

"I've definitely had my share of reflective listening failures," Sacco admits.

“我当然反思过自己倾听失败的时候，”萨科承认道。

"Sometimes... having that intentionality to listen and allowing yourself to miss the boat sometimes [is good enough]."

“有时…有意识地倾听，容许自己有时不得要领，这够好了。”
