Learning doesn’t end when we graduate from school. We keep learning throughout our lives, whether in our personal relationships or in our professional careers. The best way to learn is to listen.

Listening is an integral part of learning. This is when we absorb various ideas the most. It’s just like what Charlene Li and Josh Bernoff said, “We’re all learning here; the best listeners will end up the smartest.” What Li and Bernoff meant was we are in world where learning is endless. All we need to do is listen and be open to all these information. We mustn’t discount an idea immediately. We must consider everything we hear, read, or see. Take time to ingest them before digesting the pieces of information. Soon, we would be coming up with new ideas to share too.

The beauty of knowledge is there’s no limit. You can learn as many different things as you want. Also, nobody can take it away from you. All you need to do is listen well.

So keep listening. Listen to your peers, listen to influencers, and most especially, listen to your followers. Get to know them and learn more about them. Learn more about your industry. Just keep learning!
