The Art of Listening
I had a conversation with an acquaintance the other day about something I (randomly) had experience in. It ended up being more of a monologue than a real discussion, since she wasn’t really interested in listening. Here’s what happened: she made some false claims about investing, so I tried to correct her with facts (she insisted that we didn’t mean anything different!). I tried to explain the importance of doing research before taking risks, but she shrugged it off, saying she’d look into it later because the potential profit would be HUGE.
