Communication–the Secret of Better Relationships
Monday, August 24th, 2009
I talk.You don’t listen.
You talk. I don’t hear.
We both talk.
We both misunderstand.
You shout. I cry
I shout. You become angrier.
We both shout. We both cry.
You leave and I retreat
to a neutral corner.
————————————————–
No two individuals can view the world in a similar way, which makes it important that each of us learns to listen well, and to communicate to others our personal viewpoint.
Since we all view the world differently, the obvious next step is to learn to value the skills of compromise, both in personal relationships, and in the negotiations between nations.
To listen, communicate, and compromise effectively is what makes all relationships truly valuable and human.
