Answer:
<em>Seeking first to understand, then to be understood</em>
Explanation:
<em>Seek first to understand, then to be understood </em>is the fifth habit Stephen Covey lists in his book <em>The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People.</em><em> </em>He believes that to be the key to effective interpersonal communication. According to him, most people first want to be understood; to get their point across. That may lead to ignoring the other person completely, selectively listening while just waiting for a chance to reply, without any intent to truly understand. Before giving our opinion, we should listen carefully and try to understand the other person. As, according to Covey, many people don't have this habit, we can often hear someone (especially the youth) say that no one understands how they feel.

This is in relation to a story in the book "The Hiding Place" authored by Corrie Ten Boom. This story is a biography on Boom's life during the war in Holland.
Otto was a young German who was also a Nazist. He was as an apprentice to Boom's father, who is a watchmaker. When Otto becomes an apprentice under Boom's Father, the family realized the effect of Nazism as Otto proudly often states that he was in the Hitler Youth, and excuses himself during daily scripture reading saying the father is reading the old testament, a "book of Jews" and consists of lies.
At a point in the story, Otto started abusing Christoffel, an old man who also works at the watch shop. Christoffel was always subjected to Otto's violence such that he is being talked down to and ridiculed by him. Sometimes, Otto also trip and hit Christoffel alongside shoving him into a wall. These were some of the ways Otto persecuted and abused Christoffels.
