Communication is a learned skill.Speaking,listening to our ability to understand verbal and nonverbal meanings are skills we develop in various way.In daily life,communication breakdown often causes misunderstanding and misconception among people.Effective communication better within peer group and between close friends.
Message,not messenger
Sometimes we tend to have a preconceived opinion about someone before we truly understand te messages.We are quite unlikely to listen to his message with full attention beside we often judge our messenger by his appropriate manner.We should be remind ourselves that message,and not messenger,is the reason for communication.
Listen first,evaluate later
We should all try to understand the messenger`s view point before evaluating his point of view.Do
not prompt into judment,decision and conclusion when we are not sure about what has been said.
Mutual trust and respect
Two persons who communicate with mutual trust and respect will find themselves less defensive
about own ideas.Messages are fully understood because the messengers are almost equally
sincere in exchanging ideas.
