Become A Better Listener

Want to become a good leader? become a good listener! A good listener respond to advice or a request. Here are two stories of what happens when we don't take time to listen.

Many times he walked off when we were in mid sentence, having heard nothing.

The next is from a youth director who was fired: after serving the boss for 3…

Why communicate?

 

Communicating is the act of sharing or exchange information. A two rooms having one connecting doors.

What if you know you can do a better job of communicating

and connecting with people (or someone else

in your life) and you just don't know where or how to

start?



Most of us feel that way at some time in our

relationships building and lives.



Sometimes it's a one-time challenge and other

times, you've been in a pattern of…

WHY SALT?

Salt has both positive and negative impact. If you apply too much of salt in the food it will be too salty and if you don’t apply salt in your food, the food will be tasteless. Remember the story of Sodom and Gomorrah, when God wanted to destroy the city, he ask Lot to flee out of the city and not to look back, but…

SORRY............

This Five lettered word (SORRY) does wonders yet we often find it difficult to say. I think that one of the reasons why this word is difficult is because we claim right, too proud, and refuse to see things in another person’s way.

Take a look around and see how many people are hurting just because someone feels or felt to say simple… Continue

Rape also can…
