1.31.07

Sorry that I fell asleep today in class. It is my last class of the day and I was beat. Thanks Liz for waking me up.

Today was pretty cool. I like how Bradams is teaching us how to peel them onions. We just don't whack at it and 'probe'. The iceberg analogy is actually in Preach My Gospel (Missionary Manual of the Church). I got to be real familiarized with it real well during the mission and it really works. We do not know the people we talk to. It is hard to trust people because we do not know them. Even in this LDS town, people are people. But we can never assume their feelings and circumstances. Truly the key part of empathic listening is to care about the person and lose our selfishness.

I read a book by Larry King last semester on becoming a great conversationalist. The main key point he focused is to be an empathic listener.
