I suggest we teach listening at home before school. Listening skills should be incorporated within the family institution primarily and then practiced at school as secondary. Somehow we place emphasis on schools and less in home education and behavior.
Thanks for your reply. I agree with you about the expectation gap of what technology has to offer. Many a times it backfires on us. Disillusionment is the right word. However, these days we have the entertainment, the movies, the physical devices, the products /services and the social networks that is supposed to make people get closer and move faster to lead a more comfortable life. Yet the result is stress on humanity. How can we make people losen up?
Thanks for your reply. Well, it takes a lot more effort to smile these days, saying 'triple' just means that - no statistics involved. But I do agree, children and babies laugh so much more than adults do. When is the time or at what phase does this transition happen in a person?

This should be applied in both the business and personal world.
