Communication is a necessary thing in society.  It is what makes the world go around.  It is very powerful in being inspiring and damaging.  How is it that most of our communication is misread?  If we learn the beauty of patience and try to make sure that we understand each we will see a huge difference in all of our relationship.

Now first off we need to understand the principles of communication.  Many of us don’t realize that there are three ways of communicating.  First we have the obvious which is verbal communication.  This includes the first two the first being through words than we have intonation which is the tone in which we speak.  Then we have non-verbal communication. 

To carry on a conversation we have a person that starts the conversation they have to encode the message to be able to send it.  Then the other person has to decode it and then they have to do the same process to give an answer back.  The thing is people have different ways that then encode.  Now we can see where a lot of bad communication comes into play.

The key is when you are having a conversation especially one that is about a sensitive topic we stop and make sure that we are being understood correctly.  It takes patience but it saving you from a huge fight.  Simply just stop and put your hand on their shoulder or hand and say “So say so I understand that you thought… right?”  These few seemly ridiculous things can improve your conversations in your everyday life.
