EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATION
How to communicate and put your point across and make your voice heard.
My
dear brothers and sisters, take note of this:
Everyone
should be quick to listen,
Slow
to speak and slow to become angry, James 1:19
The
fool speaks, the wise man listens. ~ African proverb
How to do the RIGHT TALK and make your talk work for
you.
Communication is the master key that lubricates human relationships. Without effective communication prospective relationship grinds to a halt. Everybody can talk but everybody can’t communicate.
Communication
normalizes relationship while ineffective lack of communication creates
unnecessary tensions and cast shadow of uncertainties on prospective
relationships.
If you can’t communicate you can’t be effective leader.
Talking is not communication.
Everybody
can talk but we all need to learn the basic of effective communication. For instance,
a bad communicator is not a good listener while a good communicator is a good listener.
He never just speak, he listen first to give wiser answer. Listening is the key
to learning to effective communicator. “The fool speaks, the wise man listens.”
~ African proverb
Great communicator
speak to pass on a wiser point and learn from the other person while a bad communicator
just wants to be heard for the sake of been heard, just to prove a point.
In a proper
communication, there is really nothing to proof but to learn from each other
wise words, that need patience, humility and the ability to accept one’s wrong,
make correction if need be without taking matter out of contest just to romances
one’s ego.
Ineffective
communications create cobweb of doubts and uncertainties in relationships. The
lesser we communicate the more cobweb gather up and the more relationships
grinds to a halt. While effective communications brighten up everyone’s day and
wipe the cobweb away. “A man who
uses force is afraid of reasoning.” ~African proverb
Most of us can
talk but we do not know how to communicate. Talking and communication are two
different words. Talking is talking; it is the uttering of words while
communication is an act of putting words into senses or the act of making sense
with words.
·
Communication birth dialogue,
negotiation while talking only just says words and aggravates situations.
·
Communication brings
understanding.
·
Communication takes the trashes
out and replaces it with virtue. I love you doesn’t mean you truly love until
the love is tested.
·
I want you to know you
can trust me. Yea, I hear you. Let wait and see if you will proof yourself trust
worthy.
You know; I will
never cheat on you, yea, I hear you dear. Let wait and see if you are tempted you
will pass the test.
Oh pass the
Chicken to me for safe keeping, uh huh! Let wait and see if you won’t fry the
chicks for dinner when hunger take over your belly, eat the capital of the
business and run away from challenges and waste precious resources.
Talk is cheap
until men’s heart is tested. When you face up hill you’ll separate men from
boys.
The
most vital tool many people take for granted in relationship is communicate.
Talking and communication are too different word. What you say is not what you do
and what you do is not what you say. Communication is a vital tool that
lubricates relationship.
Living
is not about what we do for our self but for other people
We
live in time history that folks resent truth and clamour for falsehood. News
media feed the public with falsehood. Knowledge does not equal truth. Today
generation think they are too smart to listen to heed wise counsel because
knowledge is easily accessible everywhere but they lack common sense which is
wisdom, that come through experience. It is when knowledge is tested that human
mental faculty are refined. The thing is, many people are knowledgeable but
they do not have the experience to put what they know to practical use. When
you climb up the hill, you’ll separate the men from the boys and women from the
girls.
You
can be knowledgeable and still be ignorant because you lack the application of
knowledge. Truth leads us to experience
and experience they say is the best teacher.
Knowledge
without practical experience in the end birth ignorant. Is not what you know
that matters but it’s what you do with what you know that put bread and butter
on the table. You may feel informed yet
wrongly inform that is ignorant. “Knowledge
without wisdom is like water in the sand.” ~ African proverb
So
to be effective communicator having a good listening makes a whole lot of different.
Wherefore,
my beloved brethren,
Let
every man be swift to hear,
Slow to speak, slow to wrath: James 1: 19
