Introduction of listening skill

How do I feel about listening as a skill?

I like listening and watching rather than only listening, because if I only listen then I have to concentrate fully to understand and the meaning. But I do both much easier for me than just listening. The reason of that is I can make a guess about the situation of the conversation or by seeing head lines which helps me understand easily. However, sometimes we just can't help about listening and we can't always choose whatever we want or like but sometime we have to do for the career. Anyway I like listening to radio,music or drama serise like shortland street which are interesting. so ya I reckon everybody should have a good listening skill and listening is need to be enjoyed.
