"If you want to improve on your communication skills you can consider watching a ninety minute.s game of football. I mean actually attend a football match and occupy one of the ring sized benches to feel the experience and warmth with the football fans. You do not need to know the rules of the game. It's always best to arrive at the football stadium early to observe the reactions of the people, (often football fans). It's really intriguing to watch the footballers in the field communicating with each other for ninety minutes without uttering a word in the process. (It's like striking a note on the keyboard when playing the piano). The only thing that comes between the footballers is the ball. The ninety minutes manager would quitely occupy one of the benches as well, often with chewing gum in his mouth . The ninety minutes referee would communicate with the footballers using his whistle and colourful cards (Yellow and red), kept in his pocket. How fascinating.

"Talk less, and listen more if you are given the opportunity to do so. More action, less words. Take very due care that a reasonable person would adopt and be very cautious of what you say. Better-still choose your words very carefully. It is doable with ease. Before you consider to utter a word, think of the impact it will have on others. Put yourself in the listener's shoes. Try not to make someone feel inadequate when they are in your presence. Make it a fulfilling role to agree to disagree politely like civilised people do. You can still say "no" to them and disagree with their personal ill-thought and one sided views which bear no relevance to facts. But please leave their integrity intact without tearing them apart. You may end up at odds with people. Remember, agressiveness, leads to counter aggresiveness. Show them what you are made of. Send out soft punches and cushion the blows for them. Avoid unacceptable behaviours. It is uncalled for. You are responsible and accountable for what you say, it may be taken out of context. You words will come and hunt you when you least expect. Incidentally, you do not have to respond to everything you hear". okra eXpress
