Seek to Understand First，and You Will Be Understood

①Ralph Nichols once said，“The most basic of all human needs is the need to understand and be understood.”②When dealing with people，the first step you should take is to understand them by putting yourself in their shoes，and then they will probably understand you.③As a saying has it，“Seek to understand others，and you will be understood.”

④Since different people have different experiences and backgrounds that shape their distinctoutlook on life and the world，we should take the time to understand them first when communicating with them.Unless people trust you and believe you understand them，it’s tough for them to understand you.⑤For example，parents are prone to give their children advice based on their own experience.Well-meaning as they are，they don’t really understand the emotional needs of their children and therefore their good intentions are often misunderstood.However，if parents seek first to understand their children，seeing the world from their children’s perspective，their children will open up to them and appreciate them more.

⑥All in all，understanding others can improve your relationship with them who may in turn understand you.⑦Therefore，when communicating with others，you’d better seek first to understand them.
