Communication tips August 22, 2007
Posted by Han in : Human Relationship , trackbackBelow are some important communication tips that I’ve learned from somewhere and copied it in my notebook many years back. It is very helpful if you want to learn how to get along with people.
Hear are some “Don’t” that are helpful to remember when dealing with an opponent, whether the person is an enemy or merely someone you want to persuade:
1) Don’t expect logic or argument to eradicate a deep seated neurosis. The compulsive liar, eater, talker or drinker can never be dissuaded from a course of action by nagging or logic, such approaches as these are futile.
2) Don’t try to hard to win attention, laughter or applause. You will win more friends when you learn to be a good listener and let others shine.
3) Don’t wait for others to greet you. You can learn to be more outgoing by reaching out, taking the first step, being first to greet others.
4) Don’t join the “vicious circle” of gossip mongers and character assassins.
“Dull people talk about people, intelligent people discuss ideas, and growing people talk about feeling”
5) Don’t try to get thing done asking others to do more than they can comfortably accomplish. They may succeed, but they will be uncomfortable and they may possibly hate you for it.
6) Don’t dominate the conversation, give others a change and you will be liked for the person you are, rather than resented the way you took over the conversation.
7) Don’t become a negative, critical person. People are attracted to positive personality, repelled by a negative one.
8) Don’t be afraid to admit you are wrong. Nothing is more ridiculous than a person who is obviously in the wrong insisting vehemently that he/she is right. This is sure way to lose influence and credibility.
9) Don’t be afraid to be gentle. The strong can afford gentleness.
10) Don’t underestimate the importance of being a good listener. Listening is so complex that sometimes you need to have four ears instead of two!
1) To listen to the words a person speaks.
2) To pick up that person’s feeling (empathy).
3) To listen to God.
4) An inner ear to listen to yourself.
Hope these will help you in sharpening your communication skills.
