Since birth, a baby will cry to draw attention, a child will smile to show his joy, and an adolescent will shout to display his frustration. Communication is inherent in us and anybody who wants to denounce this fact will find it hard to do so. Similarly, it is the same fact as to why communication is so important to each and every one of us and mastering it should be something mandatory rather than supplementary. Without good communication skills, I can at best let my loved ones know that I love them. With good communication skills, I can let them know how much I love them; in any forms that I deem fit and in any ways I like. Having an exceptional communication skill is essential for anybody who wants to do well in his life.
The other mandatory skill that any successful person would posses is teamwork. No one exists alone and because of that everybody has to learn to work with each other, whether you like or dislike the people whom you are working with. While it is enjoyable to work with people you like, working with people whom you do not like certainly shows a level of character in yourself.
It is also notable that effective teamwork comes with effective communication. Delegation of work, discussion of work, reflections after work all requires good communication. One can work all day but if he does not relate what he has done to the rest, none of his teammate will be able to continue or add on to his work. Without a decent level of teamwork and sufficient amount of communication between each teammate, progress would be hard and intangible.
Sometimes, actions do not speak louder than words.
Hey Yi Fan,
ReplyDeleteOne important point that I thought you brought out was that communication skills are especially necessary when one encounters a situation in which one will have to work with people one may not be comfortable around. And since team work requires complete cooperation from every member of the team, here our communication skills would be of use.
Hi Yi Fan,
ReplyDeleteI liked how you managed to relate both communication and teamwork. The amazing thing was the transition from one topic to another, which I felt was seamless.
Your post was also very clear and straight to the point, putting the point across to your readers very effectively.
I do agree with the requirement to distinguish between communication and good communication. Many people know how to communicate, but rarely do these people know the true meaning of communication, and be able to do it well.
Looking forward to your next post!
Hi Yi Fan,
ReplyDeleteSame with .cy., i like how you linked teamwork and communication. Your points were clear and easy to understand, this could make readers find it easy following your ideas.
I also like the ending sentence: "Sometimes action do not speak louder than words."
This's a good post. Keep up the good job!
