16. VALUING
• EMPATHY, IF WE UNDERSTAND THE AUTHOR’S PURPOSE, WE CAN BARELY
UNDERSTAND WHAT A TEXT IS ALL ABOUT. IN REAL LIFE, WE HAVE TO LISTEN
WITH FULL ATTENTION TO UNDERSTAND ANOTHER PERSON’S FEELINGS AND
PERSPECTIVE. WHEN YOU MAKE SOMEONE FEEL SEEN, HEARD AND
RESPECTED, AN EMOTIONAL CONNECTION FORMS. AND ONCE THAT BOND IS
THERE, YOUR WORDS HAVE FAR MORE IMPACT.
