The best way to understand people is to listen to them."

Are you a good listener, ?  I think most people would say they are.  Sometimes though we space out - we're thinking of something else - not the what the person is saying.  What happens then?  A bit of conflict.

Ever have anyone say, "You're not listening to me."  You look like you are, you hear them but you don't understand exactly what they are talking about and don't tell them so.  What in the world can you do?

Practice active listening.  Check out the meaning at Wikipedia:

Remember:  the more you practice active listening skills, the better you will be at it.  Most things in life you attempt need practice, practice and more practice until you become proficient.

Have a great day and take care!

Sending love and blessings,
