Life's Teachings are the Best

Experiencing Life

This world is like an experience zone. Every experience, good or bad, teaches us a bit more about life, a bit more about this world. It is like a huge jig-saw puzzle, with each experience, the peices get fitted here and there and then we say ahha.... now I understand why it happened so.

Same way our point-of-views keep changing as we understand the laws-of-life better with new experiences. Point-of-view is like a colored filter through which we see the world. The color of this filter keeps changing as we gain new experiences.

Do you ever wonder how you used to look at the world few years ago, and how different it is when you see it now? And it is a continuous process, that is, the way you think about anything right now, might not be the same few years from now. The same world start to look different than it used to be, although nothing really has changed. It is just that your understanding of laws-of-life has become a bit better with new experiences.

The most important skill in professional life

At least my professional experience leads me to the conclusion that Effective Communication is the most important skill in professional life.

What does Effective communication mean? It means:
1. Clear and concise communication
2. Appropriate amount of information as per the audience
3. Display of right amount of emotions in the communication
4. Finally, the ability to convey the core message

It is such a basic skill for a human being and yet is not mastered by many. If you have good communication skills, chances are that you have a lot of other good skills as well. Because good communication comes with the interplay of lot of other things like, vast knowledge, vast experience, emotional stability, sharpness of the mind, presence of mind.

But the reverse is not ture, that is, you might have vast knowledge, vast experience but still might not have good communication skills.

It is highly recommended for parents to train their children in this basic skill to the best of their abilities.
