Communicating effectively.
I believe that nowadays it is really hard for us to communicate effectively with people, there are just too many distractions and we are focused in a lot of other things instead of listening the people that is close to us, family, friends, co-workers (etc), people that really cares for us.
So i believe that the most important key to communicate effectively is LISTEN, sometimes we think a lot about ourselves, what is concerning us, what we have in mind or if we are having success we want other people to know about the good things that are happening to us but one thing that we all need to learn for sure is LISTEN.
One thing that i have learned from past mistakes is that if you don't learn to listen then people will not want to spend time with you, basically talking about only yourself or about your achievements will make you look arrogant and very selfish.
My advice to you would be, learn to communicate effectively, learn to listen, learn to appreciate the people that is around you, learn to appreciate the things that are around you, learn to see the true beauty in the people, there is a lot of people with a lot of problems with confidence, self-esteem that need to be heard.
Communicate effectively, learn to LISTEN.
I agree, people have lost the ability to communicate. A big part of the problem in my eyes is the rise of social media. Before all the mybooks and facespaces we had to actually talk to people face to face. Now we don't even talk to the person sitting across the dinner table. Kids are now growing up with that same tech glued to their hand. Yes, listening is a big part of communication, but if you don't even know how to speak to someone, how can you expect anyone to actually listen?
Thank you for your insight, i could not agree more. We are just too focused on social networks, news, or trying to drag attention to ourselves that we are loosing sense of the people that is close to us, parents are becoming more distant to their childrens and the list goes on, i am pretty sure that learning to listen will improve all of our relationships with family, coworkers, friends, etc.
