Communication is the most important key in building good relationships between individuals. Effective communication is highly dependent on one's skill in sending and receiving messages. As we know, the old and the present way of communication is not the same anymore. In this modern era, we are helped to keep in touch with everyone by technology. Even the technology itself can give us positive things and also negative things. With technology, communication can be easily involved. We do not have to meet people who is far away to talk about important things. We can communicate with them via chatting, email, voice call or maybe video call.
For example, if we make an agreement with someone or company, we do not have to meet them in person if the distance was too far to be reach. We can send the MOU or something like that to email and get the person or company's sign.And the good thing is we can rechech and correct our words before say it to another person.
But the negative things are, sometimes we can not appereciate someone's existence because we used to talk with them not in person but via technology like what I have mentioned before. The people who is depended with technology, sometimes can not socialize in real life. What a pity :( And well, sometimes the technology becomes laggy and it distresses us. Is it right?
2. Why listening is such a big challenge for most people?
Communication is the most important key in building good relationships between individuals. Effective communication is highly dependent on one's skill in sending and receiving messages. We have watched so many projects or corporate programs were jammed in the middle of the progress just because miscommunication of its members.
The simplest and most frequent problem arises in the lack of listening skills in communicating. Listening skills should accompany the skill of asking in effective communication. Because as good as any communication to a person without accompanied by the ability to hear the communication is not effective.
Sometimes, people listening to someone's speech is just for replying what the other people have said. So they don't focus on what the other people mean.
