Never interrupt. Listen carefully.

Never interrupt. Listen carefully.

One crucial principle to keep in mind when conversing with others is to never interrupt them, even if you disagree with what they're saying.

In conversation, we may want to persuade others to see our perspective, and interrupting them is a common tactic to make our point. However, interrupting sends the message that we don't value their input.

It's essential to actively listen and try to understand the other person's viewpoint. By doing so, we demonstrate that we value their thoughts and feelings.
