Importance of Communication
August 31st, 2009
When asked “What’s the importance of communication?”, I usually reply, “What’s the importance of your friends, your family and your colleagues?” Communication is the glue that holds society together.
I’d like you to imagine living in a world where you could not convey your ideas or thoughts to another person. Imagine being in a place of great beauty, that takes your breath away, and not being able to share it. Imagine, if you will, a time of great need, of crisis, where nobody had the power to guide or be guided to find a solution.
Those who overlook the importance of communication and their own ability to take control of their lives, are usually found at the bottom of the economic pile.
Communication skills and the human mind are the two most powerful tools we have at our disposal. We can choose to use them for good or for evil. It’s my belief that the majority of people do things for the good of many. Every action has the highest intention at its root.
Given that communication skills hold the fabric of your world together, does it not make sense to enhance your skill level so that your world becomes more secure. That your world becomes safer for your family, your friends and others that you love. As I’ve said in other articles on this site, humanity’s progress and success has been entirely dependent on our ability to cooperate and work together for the common good.
Our ability to work together and cooperate is, in its turn, entirely dependent on our ability to clearly communicate problems, challenges, and solutions that we can achieve together. And that is the importance of communication.
