He who listens most learns most

Listening is one of the most difficult and challenging skill to master.  For the person who listens will learns about many things.  I am good at listening at work in meetings or with customers.  At home, I need to listen more than dispensing advice to my boys or scolding them.  I am still a novice when it come to being a father and daddy to my boys.  The problem is I read and learn from many leadership and management books, attending seminars and short training courses on business, selling and marketing.  I have only maybe 5 books on bringing kids.  Even then, I only skim through them and did not read them in details.  My behaviour changes at work where I am a skilled trained professional to a novice raising boys to be fine gentlemen.  I wished I spend more time learning to be a father instead of letting nature takes its course through field experience.  I have "Out-of-Sync Child", "Dare to Discipline by James Dobson" and a couple other books.  I do not remember what I am supposed to do, whereas when it come to management, I read hundreds of books.

I need to listen more to my boys.  I will work on this.
