Emphatic listening takes time but avoids many problems down the road from misunderstandings. Dr. Stephen Covey notes it is better to listen fully now than have to redo work or deal with unexpressed problems later. The FAFSA application for financial aid for the 2012-2013 school year is available online now at FAFSA.ED.GOV and students should complete it to qualify for grants and loans for the upcoming school year. The Norwood campus is opening its facilities at 8:00 am on Fridays instead of the usual 7:30 am to avoid triggering security systems due to earlier access.

1. SUCCESS VITAMIN
“Emphatic listening takes time, but it
doesn’t take anywhere near as much time
as it takes to back up and correct
misunderstandings when you’re already
miles down the road, to redo, to live with
unexpressed and unsolved problems, to
deal with the results of not giving people
psychological air.”
