Chinese character for listening 聽 consists of three characters:
- the character for ear
- the character for eye, and
- the character for heart

Chinese characters are really picturegrams: they are pictures that have evolved to describe a certain situation. Therefore, listening means: When one listen with the heart, the ear worth ten eyes. I like this character and concept so much, and I need to put into practice.

I must listen with ears, look (not stare) at the person that talk to me and most importantly, listen with my heart.
