No, this isn’t a ‘how to scam’ article. This is a factual simple way to totally shock people and make them think you have super powers.
You don’t have to buy anything, you don’t have to rig up anything. All you have to do is listen.
Listen.
Most people don’t listen. They hear someone talking, pluck out key words, prepare what they are going to say, and start to talk. They are not listening. They really don’t know what the other person is actually saying. They are only alert to keywords. These are keywords in their algorithm. These are words which provoke topics they want to talk about.
So here is a situation, John is talking. John thinks he is talking to Mike. Mike is in front of him, every so often Mike is looking around, thinking if he wants another drink, wondering if there’s something to watch on television tonight, still annoyed that Anita didn’t tell him that she was going to cut her hair.
John utters the words ‘brake pad’ and Mike immediately says, “Go to Bert’s, they sell the best brake pad…” and mentions when he needed them for his car.
John is not talking about a brake pad. John is talking about riding in Stan’s car when it didn’t stop, and Stan dropped a gear to cut the speed and mostly coasted and said to John, “I bet it’s the brake pad.”
Mike missed the entire drama of being a passenger in a car when the brake’s failed.
If you can learn to listen, that is when someone is talking, focus on what they are saying, focus on how they say it, hear between the words. The silences, the pieces that are left out, the parts that get the voice up or down, the pieces that are rushed, the pieces that are said in a slower cadence, then one will actually be hearing what is being said. Really being said.
Many people are talking about something other than the ‘official’ topic. They are using the ‘topic’ to explain something else.
If you listen to the BBC on radio, for example, you’ll catch some of their tricks. Why is this story first, why is it tipped in this direction? Why is that one a sentence? Why is it repeating a particular name or term or word?
Once you ‘get it’ on the radio, you can start to get it in real life. You can see how people look at you, how they choose their words. Why did they open the conversation?
Very often, if you listen, really listen, you’ll hear them repeat particular words. Why? You’ll hear when they truncate an idea, or when they are trying to make you believe something they can’t prove. They will betray their like/dislike.
If you listen you will learn more about them then about their topic.

You say right in words are hidden human wills and intentions that show the speaker's conscious but a few people know it and understand it but most of the people do not pay attention to the spoken words and get deceit while talking from the speaker.
We live and breathe words. .... It was books that made me feel that perhaps I was not completely alone. They could be honest with me, and I with them. Reading your words, what you wrote, how you were lonely sometimes and afraid, but always brave; the way you saw the world, its colors and textures and sounds, I felt--
I felt the way you thought, hoped, felt, dream. I felt I was dreaming and thinking and feeling with you. I dreamed what you dreamed, wanted what you wanted--and then I realized that truly I just wanted you,
My task, which I am trying to achieve is, by the power of the written word, to make you hear, to make you feel--it is, before all, to make you see.
You are right in your analysis. We do not listen to others rather we are always interested in talking. We want others to listen our great words and if they do not do so, we get irritated. We feel embarrassed and consider it our insult.
You wrote well but I would like following words to the great post written by you.
Listening is not that easy rather one must practice this art. It will require a lot of patience to practice this art. I am also a bad listener. I start talking between some conversation. I consider it a bad habit.
It is not easy. That's why I suggested one practice listening to the BBC. After awhile one hears 'between the words'. For example, one can tell which side the sports broadcaster backs by how he reports.
When someone is talking, don't think of what you are going to say when s/he stops, listen now.
