Week 2: Communicate!!!

Communication is a tool with which we exercise our influence on others, bring out changes in our and others’ attitudes, motivate the people around us and establish and maintain relationships with them. Communication makes a major part of our active life and is a social activity. This social activity is pursued verbally through speech, reading and writing or non-verbally through body language. In order for you to communicate successfully, you need to learn how to send mixed signals and how to build suspense, mystery and curiosity. This means that you have to interact with them as if you are not interested, but you provide them with subtle signs that shows that you are interested. You can employ light touches when you talk to them or playful little jabs that will suggest interest… but which leave some mystery. Some people find indirect communication not only attractive and mysterious but also challenging. Many are unfortunately frustrated by this, but it is essential to master if you want to successfully communicate with other people.

So why communicate? We need to communicate to develop our confidence. We'll be needing it to have a better life in the future. By communicating, we can share our thoughts, emotions and what we really feel. We can express what we really want by communicating. Just like what we are doing every day. We always communicate, even if it's just a "smile". We still communicate. I think that's why we need to communicate. :-)
