Listening: The Secret Key That Reduces Your Learning Time

Many times when we want to improve ourselves, we may think that learning takes a long time through trial and error ourselves, but in fact, our brains have a more magical ability... the ability to listen and learn from others.

When we listen to "Mentor," or someone who has traveled before, his experience is like a shortcut that saves us from spending time repeatedly doing wrong. Our brains have Mirror Neurons systems, or "mirror neurons," that simulate learning from what we see and hear, making listening not just through-the-ear information, but truly creating new pathways in our brains.

Think of the time when you read the book yourself, it can take weeks to understand, but when you listen to Mentor explain it with a real example, it can take you a few hours to understand it more deeply, so listening is like compressing time from a month to a day, or from a day to an hour.

In addition to Mentor, listening to the experiences of others is extremely valuable, because sitting in a conversation and listening to others tell about what they have been through not only helps us learn lessons without pain, but also expands the mindset to make the brain open to new ways that we may not have thought of before.

Of course, learning from self-action is important because the brain creates a stable path when we experience direct experience, but when combining all three ways of learning - from mentores, from people around us, and from self-practice - we can leap many times faster.

Listening is therefore not a small skill done just for etiquette, but it is the skill of "precipitating the time of learning." Those who know deep listening will be able to reap the lessons that others have spent their entire lives accumulating, and will be able to use them to produce results for themselves within a short time.

So if you want to learn faster, want to progress without wasting time on the same path, ask yourself, have you "really listened" today?

Because every quality listening harvests the most precious time and experience of life.
