Abstract Listening is the following and understanding the sound. Listening is emotional where as hearing is physical listening is the absorption of the meanings of words and sentences by the brain. Listening leads to the understanding of facts and ideas. It is the bigger point of communication. Hearing is merely a physical act that depends on the ears. Listening on the other hand, is a much more conscious effort to comprehend what is heard. Hearing is compulsory while listing is not. During the process of listening, one has to hear (i.e. receive), decode the message, evaluate and interpret it and then respond it. Listening is more than just hearing. A good listener can inspire and motivate himself/herself for listening. He/she listeners to the speaker attractively. He/she is self-motivated and self-inspired. A good listener is open minded. A person with prejudices can never be a good listener. Using appropriate body language and non-verbal cues, the good listener responds to the speakers message and thus motivates the speaker to enhance interaction. A perfect listener has to be ready physically and psychologically to listen. She/he has to remove or minimize expressing extreme emotions, fear, anxiety, complexes etc. “Listening is a magnetic and strange thing, a creative force. When we really listen to people there is an alternating current, and this recharges as so that we never get fired of each other” Key words: Communication, Inspire, Self-motivated, Non-verbal Cues.

Communication, Inspire, Self-motivated, Non-verbal Cues.
