Attending and Observation Skills

I really enjoyed the class and chapter on attending and observational skills. During class I realized a few things about myself when it comes to listening. I absolutely hated trying to completely ignore someone when they were trying to tell me a story. However, I started to think to myself that it is easy to pay attention to someone for 2 minutes but it tends to get a lot harder the longer someone talks. I think this will be a hard thing for me to over come. I tend to get distracted easily and have trouble keeping eye contact for long periods of time. When we started talking about body language and watched the clip on body language, I realized that this was something I was pretty good at recognizing or reading. The more I thought about class and what I had read in the book, the more I realized that you can't be good at everything. There are going to be things that I struggle with and there are going to be things that just come naturally.
