Some Things Good Listeners Do Differently

側耳傾聽成就更棒的傾聽者

They realize their shortcomings.

他們能意識到自己的缺點。

It may be a strange way of thinking about it, but accepting yourself is key to being a good listener overall, Sacco says.

這樣的考慮方式或許奇怪，但是總體來講，接受自己是成為好的傾聽者的關鍵，薩科講道。

In other words, we can't pick up on everything everyone is saying all the time -- and that's OK.

換言之，我們無法接收每個人講的每件事——這沒關系。

"I've definitely had my share of reflective listening failures," Sacco admits.

“我當然反思過自己傾聽失敗的時候，”薩科承認道。

"Sometimes... having that intentionality to listen and allowing yourself to miss the boat sometimes [is good enough]."

“有時…有意識地傾聽，容許自己有時不得要領，這夠好了。”
