8/4/2013---Night Light For Living The Key To Putting Others First To put others first, listen first and talk second...always, always, always listen first and talk second. You may have the most fascinating life on earth, but other people would rather talk about themselves. When you listen first and talk second then you give others the rare chance to express who they are, where they are, and what they are about. When you talk first and listen second or never really listen at all, you condemn other people in your life to a loneliness not of their making. To truly listen first and talk second, forget about yourself and forget about what is important to you. To truly express love for another person and show another person you put them first, be able to listen to them without ever saying a word about yourself. You may be tempted to talk about yourself because we all have the need to have others notice us, recognize us, and give us attention. However, when we demand others notice us, recognize us, and give us attention by dominating a conversation, we end up ignoring others and we turn others off by letting them know they come second in our life instead of coming first.
