Strengths and weakness in communication
Communication is the exchange or the passing of information or ideas from one person to another. It is one of the most important tools we have as we use it all the time when we want to share something with someone else. As all people will have to communicate with others at some point in time, everyone has their own take on how to communicate with others,. I myself am no different and thus would have my own strengths and weaknesses in how I do so.
I believe that one of my strengths in communication is that I do not take what others are saying too literally and thus not feel easily offended. I feel that those who do take so tend to have a more unapproachable aura than others as people don not want to end up offending them with something that they do not mean. I feel that I tend to think about what others feel before I say something so as to not accidentally blurt out something that may come out as rude or unpleasant to them. I feel that it is a good strength to have as it allows you to have a more casual conversion with others and makes them feel good when trying to convey something as they understand that you are not easily offended.
I feel that one of my weakness is that sometimes I tend to interrupt others when they are in a middle of a conversion and of course that will come of as rude as it is not polite to interrupt others. However for me sometimes when others are discussing about a common topic that I share interest in I might get a bit too excited and over eager to join the conversion that I tend to just join in the conversion without waiting for them to stop. This has been a problem for me for a while now but I just cannot seem to shake it off of me. Also I tend to mispronounce a lot of words easily as I am not too fluent in saying complicated words. I also speak too quickly sometimes and this in result causes others to not understand what I am saying as it comes out as gibberish.
I strongly feel that this course would allow me to be better at trying to express my thoughts to my friends and other people as well. I would like to aim to be a better speaker by the end of the course and also be a bit more confident in speaking to strangers if possible.

The essay is written in a descriptive manner. Being carefree by not caring what others say literally might end up backfiring as we may not realize or forget that people are telling us something serious and we dismiss it. This may give us the impression that we do not take anything seriously.
ReplyDeleteBy having the tendency to interrupt people halfway, we will appear to come out as rude. Instead, we should wait for people to finish their part in the conversation before stating or talking about our opinion. Talking gibberish might be a cause of lack of confidence or nervousness as we may be unsure of what we are talking about. It is important to be confident about what we are talking about to avoid talking or saying words we do not mean.
Hi Wei Ern, and good job on the post.
ReplyDeleteYou are right, one can tend to get a bit too excited when it comes to having the same interest or sharing common topic with others. Also, in some situations, we must be careful as we dont want to interrupt when two parties are having the conversation. Mispronounce of words could be an issue as the other party can misinterpret the message that you are trying to convey. I think after knowing the methods of having effective communications, we can express our thoughts in a more appropriate manner and it should be achievable by the end of this course. Let's do this together and improve on it.
Yes it is true that we should not always take the things people say literally because sometimes people may not be intentional in offending us. It is good that we consider others sometimes before saying things that may unintentionally offend them.
ReplyDeleteIt is usually normal for us to cut-in during conversations and some may perhaps feel that it is rude. Thus, I feel that depending on the situation and the person, we can determine whether it is appropriate to join in the conversations.
