"To get your ideas across, use small words, big ideas and short sentences."
John Henry Patterson
Communication quality is a very critical quality that we should develop in us. The quality of communication does not depend on the amount of time we speak, but on how we present the same. Our communication is as effective as it is received. In NLP, we have a presupposition `the purpose of communication is the response you get'. You should develop the skill of short, sweet and powerful communication.
Next time you watch a television commercial, notice how short and sweet is the communication. If you cannot communicate in thirty seconds, the viewer will change the channel. That is why for a thirty second advertisement, the producer will spend several hours to shoot. Before shooting the script writer will spend several days or weeks to write the script and edit the same several times. The shooting will take several takes.
Another quality of good communication is the impact and size of your idea. An idea can change your life. The ability to come out with powerful idea is very important. One way to do this is to meditate. Instead of working for ten hours, meditating on an idea for thirty minutes will make all the difference. Practice complete silence for one day a week and notice the change in your thinking process.
Over this week end, ponder over the content of this page and try to implement the same.
