Listening to learn

We are living in the information age and this implies that we are always exposed to information in one form or another. One of the ways in which we acquire information is through our ears. We need to not only hear information but to learn to listen carefully to understand how it relates to daily challenges. Mastering listening skills is important because the information acquired needs to be processed in the brain and used to enhance one's life. We choose which information we listen to as it is an active process and therefore this means we have the power to choose what we learn through listening.
