"Listening is more important than talking," is an old saying that tells us paying attention to others' opinions is more important than expressing our own. As for me, there are two reasons for listening: 1) listening can show one's modesty and respect for others. In modern society being willing to listen can help you gain trust and friendship. A talkative person without ears is doomed to be alienated. 2) listening benefits yourself, by allowing you to get information about new opinions from others. New ideas enrich and refresh your mind. A man can't always work out problems on his own, so listening is a good way for him to get help. According to the quote above listening plays an important role in communication by helping us understand "the other." In modern society we need to master this vital communication skill. If you want to be a social butterfly you need to be a good listener.
