How do i stay tuned!

If I had to rate my listening skills on a scale I would say its more on a 4, I rate myself this all cause I do listen and I have keep self non distracted with loud noises or just activity around me. When I do get distracted I do push the thoughts out of the mind so the person talking words can flow through my mind without my minds busy words or thinking inside. Mr. William Uri said "shifting spotlight" meaning of this is when person is talking make it all about them and their conversation, have both ears wide open and they have your full attention. Mr. William also said" listen to what's not being said" he is referring to what their saying with emotion and the facial, body expressions they are giving off to you. Listening is very important because how will you be able to communicate without listening? It hard a lot of important information will be missed. If your mom told you important information of how to do something and you go to do the task, how would you know what to do if you were not listening? Listening is the key factor of everyday use, how would you be able to pass information over to someone? It's hard for me to pretend having a big family we all listen to what one another has to say and give our full attention to who is talking. I don't know how people could pretend listening when its really rude where I come from.
