Selective Listeneing

Selective Listening A medical doctor who was invited as a guest speaker to address a group of alcoholics. He wanted to make a demonstration that would be powerful enough to make people realize that alcohol was injurious to their health.

He had two containers, one with pure distilled water and one with pure alcohol. He put an earthworm into the distilled water and it swam beautifully and came up to the top.

He put another earthworm into the alcohol and it disintegrated in front of everyone's eyes.

He wanted to prove that this was what alcohol did to the insides of our body.

He asked the group what the moral of the story was, and ...

...one person from behind said, "If you drink alcohol you won't have worms in your stomach.’’

"Was that the message? Of course not.

That was selective listening ....

We hear what we want to hear and not what is being said.
