Improve Communication Skills

-


  • Work on language competency to overcome linguistic deficiency: Language plays an important role in any inter-personal communication where both the sender and the receiver must be reasonably comfortable in the language used. This is because in any communication process-oral or written the sender encodes ideas, which the receiver decodes to understand and give feedback accordingly. Any lapse on either side may lead to a communication failure.
  • Give required time: In the present-day life, time is always at a premium and if the sender of the message compromises by not giving the required time for preparation or dissemination of the message, the receiver is sure to face problems.
  • Don't be apathetic: Apathy causes communication to break down because it interrupts effective listening. It is for this reason that an apathetic speaker does not relate information well and may leave out key points.
  • Never go unprepared: Very often, the lack of preparation results either from the scarcity of relevant information about a topic or an incorrect audience analysis. Insufficient audience analysis, however, may certainly lead to a communication failure.
  • Don't be overconfident: When a sender or a receiver thinks that he/she knows all about a subject, he/she runs the risk of overconfidence. This mindset causes a person to be unwilling to learn new ideas. It is best to approach communication with humility and a willingness to learn, for it is almost impossible to know everything about any particular area.
  • Avoid Judgemental attitude: Many communication failures occur because the message tends to pass some sort of judgment against the receiver. Therefore, it is not received at its face value. Giving precedence to the expression of opinion over facts and the use of offensive or annoying expressions ensure that the receiver becomes guarded and defensive.
  • Avoid false assumptions: Most often, communication fails because the sender of the message fails to communicate instructions well because he or she assumes that the receiver understood what they have said, but the fact could be that the receiver did not understand anything that was communicated to them or partially understood; both situations are undesirable in a smooth communication process.
  • Show respect towards the receiver(s) of the message: Make sure that there is mutual respect between the sender and the receiver for successful communication. This mutual respect allows each party to invest time in speaking/listening to the other party.

Some tips about the right way to charge your phone

Some tips about the right way to charge your phone 1. Letting your phone go to 0% charge and then recharging it to 100%. It is definitely not a good option. If you do so you can damage the inside materials of the battery and can cause battery corrosion. 2. A fast charge can reduce your battery life.  It generates more heat than the normal charge which is bad for the battery.  It consumes more battery than it gives to your phone. 3. Using Random chargers -   It's not true that all the charges are the same. The best thing you could do to your phone is to provide it with the original charger. Other chargers may have different potentials that can damage your phone and also they don't include any protection from power surges. 4. Charging your phone in cafes or other public places. You never know whether the plug is faulted or even the voltage is right. Also if you are using USB someone may steal your data. 5.  Power banks are much safer than any public place. Just ma...
