Active listening is watching closely and listening carefully.

  In my experience, one needs to be calm first then he or she can focus on others instead of himself or herself. If there is something bothering me, I will easily think of myself and not pay attention to what other people say. 

   Active listening is important if we want to help other people. Only when you concentrate on others, care about others can you listen actively.  It needs practice to listen actively. By watching closely and listening  carefully, you will find out what the guy you are talking to really want to express. And thus you can meet his needs.
