habit5----Seek First to Understand, Then to be Understood
看到这里还是有所触动了一下，我们总是喜欢以"我是为你好"的态度去沟通，实质上是这只是自己的"一面之词"，是根据自己的情况而言，根本就没有理解到对方的真实需求与感受，没有站在对方的角度来看待问题，去切身体会，最后是你在"苦口婆心"，但根本打不动不了别人的心。就如我有一个很要好的朋友，我总是劝他多阅读，不要老是一有时间就玩游戏。以"为他好"的理由，不断的跟他说，多阅读可以自我提升，但最后发现根本就没有用处，他就是左耳进，右耳出。现在我明白，我是以自身的角度去站在他的处境上，我认为阅读不可或缺，所以多阅读总是有好处的。但我并没理解他，没有明白他不喜欢阅读，所以再怎么努力也是徒劳一场。
要先有共鸣的理解，才能处理好一切的事情。
