Speaking and the speed of thought
Here's an interesting fact: "Words are spoken at the rate of 90 to 200 words a minute; thinking happens four times that fast"!

If you want to improve your listening skills, you have to make an extra effort to pay attention, and not only to the main ideas being expressed and what types of words are being said. Just as important, what are the feelings, images and emotions behind them? |
