Show 370 Tuesday 8 May 1969-12-31 17:59:59 DownloadGoing to Canada 2007Day 1: Kutchan to TaipeiOn the way to the airport we stopped to film a piano.If you've ever been from New Chitose airport to Niseko by bus, you've probably visited these toilets. There's a piano playing by itself right by the doors going into the toilets.We left the car at a place near the airport.It only cost 7000 yen to park it there for 6 months. So cheap!We got on the plane OK. Every time I travel I think I have everything sorted but a new problem presents itself.This time I found there was a new law that means you can't take bottles with more than 100 mils of liquid inside them onto the plane. This would have been handy to know before we checked our bags in. Oh well, they were nice and let us check in the bottles separately.The immigration officer told me to take care because it was hot in Taiwan.I found two mistakes on the sign near at the boarding gate.There was no window where we were sitting. Bummer.We hope to make your flight more comfortable a ...

Are You a Listener or a Reader? 1969-12-31 17:59:59 Some people understand better by listening, others by reading. Which are you? Do you know?As management guru Peter Drucker points out in his book, ?Management Challenges for the 21st Century,? ?Very few people even know that there are readers and there are listeners, and that very few people are both. Even fewer know which of the two they themselves are.?Drucker illustrates the point with examples of recent U.S. Presidents: Eisenhower and Kennedy were readers. Eisenhower's staff made sure he was given questions from the press in writing before a briefing or conference. Kennedy, who knew he was a reader, assembled an admirable staff of brilliant writers such as Arthur Schlesinger and Bill Moyers, who wrote to him before discussing the memos in person.Franklin Roosevelt, Harry Truman, and Lyndon Johnson were listeners. FDR and Truman enjoyed oral give-and-take and were good at it. Lyndon Johnson, with years as a gifted parliamentarian, was ? indeed, had to be ? an excellent listener to ...

Learning To Listen 1969-12-31 17:59:59 By Laura Davisn a culture which honors "doing," multi-tasking and filling in all the empty spaces in the day, the art of listening has been all but lost. Even in the best of circumstances, listening is hard and when people feel angry, hurt, or feeling backed into a corner, the difficulty magnifies. Fortunately, you don't have to be good at listening in order to become better at it. Listening is a discipline. Like playing scales on a piano, the more you work at it, the better you become. All it takes is a clear intention and the willingness to practice. It's best to start with conversations in which you don't have a lot at stake--a neighbor you're chatting with over the fence or an old friend you bump into at the grocery store. Observe where your mind goes when you are supposedly listening. Pay attention to how frequently you think of the past or the future, how often you are busy planning your next sentence rather than hearing what is being said. Notice how quickly and incorrigibly ...

Listening for the Fine Print 1969-12-31 17:59:59 My aerobics classmates looked amazed when I nonchalantly tore the white tags from the gym's new foam exercise mats. The tags read "UNDER PENALTY OF LAW THIS TAG IS NOT BE TO REMOVED except by consumer." (I suspect the mattresses in their homes may still have the tags attached.) They hadn't looked for, or noticed, the fine print.In fact, many of them may never have read beyond the first lines on their labels. The fine print in contracts generally comes at the end. The specific details in news stories also comes towards the end, well after the headlines. And the "fine print" in personal accounts that people share with us in conversation tend to show up later on.Sometimes those details are sprinkled throughout and, like small forest animals, require alertness and awareness to notice and hear. Big problems in listening that cause us to miss small but critical details include:1. Jumping to conclusions . Assuming we already know what's coming.2. Impatience , often because the listener wan ...
