Well, why we don’t remember our office/ work stories is also because we are uninterested, lost in our own thought process making plans for after meeting or the topic is not of our interest.
Yes , yes boring narration is also the reason. But let’s first find mistakes from our end ? Now you know that you have to listen carefully and observe what the narrator is trying to say ! You can begin by listening to audiobooks, your beat source!
- Read and read More
Now mind it , you can’t be a good writer or storyteller if you’re not reading. For me , reading is a daily habit that I can’t skip, I m addicted to it. Yay! It’s a good one. Reading makes us more aware of the process, you get to understand things more clearly and it makes you more intelligent too. Begin by reading 100 pages books or short story books if you’re already not a reader.
- Communicate
This is not your conversation about a new sale with your friend or gossip about your new colleague. This is the meaningful and useful conversation. No matter what conversation you are doing , do it too find answers and know more . While not slipping from the listening point , you have to listen carefully in order to respond amazingly.
