Showering Importance

At times we communicate with people but we are thinking something else or are somewhere else. We assume the other person won’t realise and we continue to simply nod during the conversation. Ironically, our mind is so powerful that it can recognise facial expressions in just 17 milliseconds. Still we wander outside for the smart devices.

Suppose you are having a conversation with your dream partner (we are talking about business partner :P) and at that time you are basically into that conversation after all you want to make that feel person important. But since you are habituated to keep wandering you cannot make a comforting relationship on the go.

We need to shower importance just like Modi or Obama. May be they are faking. But they make us feel they are listening attentively to us, which boost our faith in them more. Fake it till you make it. But be careful even if you are faking because the mind realise the correct facial expression in just 17 milliseconds. For instance, when we smile with enjoyment or genuinely there is a subtle movement of our eyebrows but those are missing while we practice fake smile. Unfortunately or fortunately, our mind can capture the difference.

Why is to so important to shower importance?

In today’s world, it is rare to find someone who is simply willing to listen. Practising silence really helps in day to day life. It makes you a better listener. When you listen attentively the other person feels valued. When the other person feel valued you end up building the trust. Trust is the foundation of all relations including friendship. With decreasing attention span, showering importance is not going to be easy. Even we get distracted easily thanks to our ancestors for that who developed these vital skill. Getting distracted is a skill too. Sounds weird though.

And that’s an abrupt end to the article 😀
