To hear, we must first be quiet.

Source of Noise can be from objects, surroundings and even human speech. "Noise" too can be from ourself or our own thoughts. Hundreds of thoughts flows in our mind.

Example,

As for today, have you ever remembered how many types of cars you seen today?
Or are most of the drivers that you see today along the roads are females or males?
Most of time, we would only notice a vehicle only if it's unique or maybe perhaps the car almost hit you, and you remembered every detail about that car.

Bottom line is, Just like the cars along the road, cars passing by, if we did'nt pay attention or just did'nt notice anything strange, we would just see cars along the road passing by.

Just like our thoughts, hundreds or maybe thousands of thoughts flow in and out of our mind, only a vivid memory of what it is or what's all about, and then we will forget about it.

"To Hear, We Must First Be Quiet"

If we think too much, we will not be able to focus on the things that happen around us. Thinking too hard is like, keep on worrying about something, panic, stress about something that bothering you, or even thinking out of context.

Have a clear sound mind, like the roads without cars. So if there is a car that passes by, sure you will be able to know. But if there is a road will full of cars, sure it does'nt matter cause there is lots of cars and you will not be able to notice any one of them.

Bottom line is, Keep your mind clear, so if there is any bright ideas, it sure will work.
If your mind if "full" or "stress out", you will not be able to think properly or focus on the problem in hand.

What you think of what you see

This is an example for reference,

Sam showed to his friend a pen which is black in color. Keep in mind that Sam did'nt tell to his friend what the ink color of the pen.

Sam: Hi Jack, i'll like to show something to you.

Sam show the pen.

Sam: What is the color of this pen?

Jack without any second thought says.

Jack: Black of course.

Sam: Oh ic, here you go.

Jack: Why?

Sam: The only way to find out if your answer is correct.

Jack holds the pen and looks at him with full of questions in his mind.

Sam: Hmm a Black pen? Is it the outer covering of the pen is black that makes you assume that the Ink is Black? Or is it due to everyday in life whenever you wanted to know what is the color of the Ink you see it from the outer covering?

Jack still in confusing.

Jack: Well i guess it's Black as the covering is Black so i'm going to test it.

Jack took out a paper and began scribbling. To his amazement, the pen has no ink!

Jack: What? A pen with no ink?

Sam: Yes, the pen is actually has no color at all. If you wish to assume it's a Black pen then by all means, but no matter how Black that pen is, now it is useless as it has no ink.


Bottom Line:

We usually judge a book by it's cover, that the basic reation of us or method that we use to know something that we see that we are unsure of.

When we see a person for the 1st time, we usually assume and judge him by the looks and by the appearance, just like looking at the pen and guessing that the pen is Black in Ink. It's only when we start to test the pen then we get to know what color is the pen is. As like the Pen example, We can judge what color of the pen by looking on the covering, Yes that's true it would probally contains Black Ink. Untill we test it then we can know if there is actually any Ink in there.

So, when judgeing a person, don't always rely on the 1st covering of the Pen, assumtion can lead to huge mistake. Example, if you decided to buy a Black Ink pen and just grab one, when you reach home, you tend to discover that the pen has no Ink.
This similar example can be use for finding a relationship, don't jump to any person that you fall in love with, test him out, see if the pen is really Black.
