Has anyone ever actually listened 2 anyone & changed their thoughts on a subject, course of action, opinion, anything?

Folks just talk at each other & do whatever they was gonna do anyway.

Seems pretty common these days. Conversation has become the exchange of  (maybe) different subjective points of view, but you rarely see somebody change his mind after hearing the other person. Internet Forums are a good (or bad) example for this.

I'm always changing my mind when persuaded by decent logic…..

On our journeys to become qualified counsellors, both myself and Black Orchid had to spend a good few years at college and university. One element of our training was developing the skill and art of listening which is fundamental to counselling and psychotherapy. I was surprised at how much "stuff" can get in the way of active listening.

I read something along my journey which I have remembered and use often; "Awareness, Process, Reflect, Transform".
Develop more Awareness of what people say to you and you say to them
Process what you hear in these exchanges
Reflect on what was said by all parties
Transform ineffective beliefs / attitudes / feelings / behaviours / actions for more effective ones.
It really helps and works for me. However, being human, this only works when I am "consciously aware" and not "asleep, dreaming that I am awake"

My opinion is that 99% of humanity is selfish scum. Won't bother with 'm. The other 1% are either dead, in jail, or are mates.

Dito. I frequently go into discussions and arguments with a very strong opinion and come out, based on better data/logic totally against what I started. I hold strong opinions, but fold easily :).

Is there a thread for the 633N?  My search skills are intermediate at best, but I can't find one.

@TrickHell:

Is there a difference between the military chinos and the work chinos other than color?

if you mean 707 and 710, the fabric and the colour are the same.  May be tiny variation due to bing from different rolls.  Cuts and design are different…

What shirt is this?

It's IH? Couldn't find reference to it anywhere but I'm sure I can see a blue tag on the left pocket….

Re-run it with black snaps and black tags. Should be enough improvement.

[MastersOfDeath]

Thanks. I imagine it wouldn't be a slow seller if it was released now…anyway, it's very nice.

The infamous IHSH-10, of which some shirts had upside down patterns IIRC.
