Most of us do not listen attentively to everything other people are saying. We become distracted by our thoughts, by sounds, by other conversation, by wondering what amazing story we can share next, by boredom, or our mind simply wanders. For one day, practice listening to every word other people say to you whether it is a stranger on an elevator, your boss, a teacher giving a lecture, or a friend going on about a breakup. Then, in one or two paragraphs, share your experience on the discussion board.
