What is Effective Communication for me???

Communication is an essential component which human beings are practicing now in order to understand each other as well as to express our feelings and concern toward each other. However, I think there are certain challenges we may face during communication such as miscommunications, misinterpretations etc. Thus, it is important for us to develop effective communication skills to avoid or minimize conflicts when communicating with people.

In my opinion, I think it is essential and important for me to develop effective communication skills as it is an important skill that might determine my career and the most importantly, my future life!!!!!!!!!!Maybe some of you may wonder that why I take this module so seriously. For me, a good resume and curriculum vitae play important roles in securing my future career as a well written resume and curriculum vitae can help develop good impression on employers toward me. Besides that, I think effective communication also plays a role in office politics as we must have good emotional intelligence, which is known as EQ to minimize conflicts and competitions between colleagues.

However, after I have attended two classes of Professional Communication, I realized effective communication is not just only needed at workplace, in fact it is needed in our daily life. Besides that, I also realized that communication skills can be divided into many different areas and this discovery really fascinated me.

Thus, from now onward, I think that effective communication not only crucial for my future career, it also plays important roles in order for me to understand my family, my friends as well as to allow me to show my concern and feeling toward people around me. Besides that, effective communication can lead me to a better life as I will learn to minimize conflicts when I communicate with the people. Now I am looking forward to have a fruitful and memorable journey with my classmates in learning effective communication. Last but not least, wish everybody have a Happy Chinese New Year!!!!!!!!=)
