It might be asked, is this another post on the importance of communication? Well, yes, this is another communication post. I found another illustration worth watching.

I thought about communication for a little while and decided to do some research on some communication tips. I found this exert from a blog entry by Richard Denny, 10 great tips for better communication

"Professor Stephen Hawking of Cambridge University recently stated - in a TV commercial, incidentally - that ‘the world's problems could be solved if we kept talking'. This idea can be applied to almost any situation.

1. Speak to people
2. Smile at people
3. Address people by name
4. Be warm, friendly and helpful
5. Be enthusiastic about life
6. Be genuinely interested in people
7. Look for the opportunity to give praise
8. Be considerate of other people's feelings
9. Be thoughtful and respectful of other people's opinions
10. Be a great listener "

I also found an interesting website where you could take a quiz on how well you communicate. I found it to pretty good as well as insightful. I learned a few things about myself when I took it.
