Communication plays a great part in my daily life. It helps
me to convey the proper message by adding on different characteristics such as
tone, emotion, formality, posture, gesture etc.
I believe my greatest strength would be being observant. I realised
many people tend to use their gestures or tone to communicate, instead of just
their voice. And if you are not careful, things might go wrong. Throughout the
years I observed how people communicate with one another. And I found out that
it is an important role in communication. It can restrict me with words that
can bring destruction to our talk. Whenever I’m consoling someone, I wouldn’t talk
about unhappy moments at all. Rather by observing the situation, I will bring
up happy memories to calm him/her down. (Sometimes food helps too!)
My greatest weakness is that I do not to talk much in
groups. I used to be an introvert when I was young, even in my closest group of
friends I can’t bring up to them. I was afraid that I might say something wrong
which could offend someone. So I always keep things to myself. Hardly will
anyone know the real side of me. Placing a mask and hiding my true self can be
lonely sometimes. Till now I’m still facing this problem although there is much
improvement as compared to my younger days.
Over the years communication has helped me improve a lot to
who I am today. In communication, every day is a new discovery. I have learnt
to build up my strength and use my strength to improve my weakness. By observing i learn from others, from an introvert
to an extrovert shows that my communication skill have improve. However, THIS IS NOT THE
END!
