Heard.
You can be seen, you can be listened to, but to truly be heard and accepted for what you are saying is something entirely different. When a presidential primary candidate steps up to the microphone to speak they have to think about their audience and how they can speak and truly be heard, not just seen and listened to.
I am one of those people that cannot focus on anything a person is saying for very long, attention deficit disorder may as well be my middle name. So when I am listening to someone speak, or a teacher in a classroom setting I always have to have something to occupy my hands, or I take notes in rainbow colors to keep myself focused.
It's a rare occasion that I actually hear someone, words tend to whiz past me, I will remember everything I heard and not be able to give you a point for any of it.
I've come to the conclusion this is why I don't like politics; I went to a Rick Santorum event tonight and to be honest I was bored to death; my focus was drawn to the camera men just a few rows in front of us, which made everything Mr. Santorum was saying very much listened to and not heard.
