stories after stories, the man admitted that he was rejected by many societal people, just because he was old. He called himself, useless and stupid. And continue to calling himself with these adjectives throughout his talk. I declined to share anything in such a situation as I sensed that this man just needed someone to listen to his stories and looked for emotional-social understanding from a stranger like me.
Just before leaving the table, he looked at me in the eyes and said "Son, you are the first person to listen to my stories with kind attention. Thank you for being kind hearted." Then, he walked away with a smile on his face.
Reflection:
Sometimes, being silent and involving spiritedly could remedy someone life greatly. It's advisable to share some of your time to listen to old lonely people stories.

This story wants to uncover that listening story from old people is very dominant because old people have much more experience than young people,so he can share his own bitter experience to next young generation. What's more, we shouldn't look down or discriminate him even though he is shabby. conclusion, we would listen and try to follow what is good things from him rather than look down.
A bout me I think that:
the old man like someone obey him/her saying and follow what they want, actually all the teenagers didn't want to listen everything that the old man side,if you want to be a good person and successful in the class you ought to pay attention carefully what the teacher said.
This is the kind of discriminate to those old, poor uneducated people. This kind of situation always leads those people to feel isolated in their living environment because they think that they are not considered as the members of the society. It is not fair for them because being a people in the society should have the right to join all activities and not to be discriminated by the people around them.
Thank to the author--my teacher. I am so delighted to read this story. It equips me core concepts. In fact, I am able to learn from listening, too. Another idea is to make friend with people. The last concept is making sad people happy. For instance, this old man is really hopeless about his life in society, but the this hopelessness causes from having no a listener. In short, I am really delighted to learn and share my concept with this story.
I think that that shabby men want to fine someone listen to his life problem or he maybe want to share his owe experience to young people. I also like to listen to other people cause it thing that i will get me a new experience and get a new informant from other. one more thing i think that it also can increase relationship with other people in the society .
This story want me to understand other people's feeling when they need someone to solve or think with him. If we think of old people or poor people, most people do not want to listen about their trouble because all of them were thought they are out of social class. So according to this story, we have to open mind in order to get new experience from what we have heard from those people and we should feedback the problem we heard and try to think should be wrong and right.
The meaning of life is really useful. When we see old people who is hopeless, sad, or stressful, it is good chance for us to share with because old people are useful for us to learn from them. They have much experience on their lives. They sometimes look sad, or stressful because they do not know who they should share about their concerns. Actually most young people do not like them, thus they keep everything on their hearts and they never speak out. That's why they seems lonely with environment around them. In fact, old people have many good ideas that we should learn with. They can tell about keys to be successful in life, and their experiences. Therefore, we will get good ideas from them to develop our self. spend one hour with old people is equal 10 books which we have read.
Yes, this story tells us how good listener we are? Because when speaker talk to u or tell some information, they will happy if you wanna listen. It's like in your family if you are a member that don't care every speaker talk to u and angry because you are not respecter.

Listening is substance skill of human. To be a good listener, you should to be more patient and careful to grab the information from speaker. This story is simply understood that the old man, who nobody want to listen to him, meet a kind man. A man that listen and pay attention what he said. The old man regards him as a good listener. I believe that to be good at listening, all you got to do is: listen, focus , and give comment after the speech.

The old people sometime they need other people listen to them. When you become old maybe you will be feeling like this. So just spend your own time with them to make them happy with you is enough. Sharing our time to make another happy is a good action that it easy to do. "When you become like him maybe you will know"
In generally old people feel loneliness and they need someone listen their problems. Sometimes when somebody ignore them, they always think negative about themselves like their life no meaning no value for other people. However when someone care and pay attention listen them, they are really happy with their ages.
In this story, the old man is so sad because he want to young people to lesion. it true, we must spend our time with old people,lesion what he/she want to talk? and try to make old people happier. Old people always talk a lot so try to lesion don't go a way when he or she talk to you.
I think old people always want us to pay attention with what they are talking and doing. They want us to know about their emotion, and need the people to share idea, or chatting because old people are easy to get lonely feeling soon.
Being silent is not always an ignoring activity in some situation. It is a good response to those who want you to listen. They have something to share and want us to listen their problem or information. Just listen we don’t lost anything; in contrast, we can help them release their stress. In communication, where there are speakers, there are listeners. So, It’s a good manner to listen while other is speaking.
In my opinion, I think this article is a good message for me of because it shows me about daily life in a society as well. Sometimes, we try our best but everything is not the same what we hope. Please remember everyone. No one perfect, so i always say i can do it i can do it however we should listen older people a round us, such as parents friends and teachers. If we aim to be successful person, we should feel free to listen and follow good points from them.
