Communication; the exchange of thoughts, messages, or information, as by speech, signals, writing, or behavior; is a simple word that contains a vast meaning in it. It can be a simple tool to be used in your daily life but it does affect a person’s lifestyle easily through interacting with different groups of people around you.

Whether its at work, projects, home, sports and even just outside in town, it does really play a big part to each individual as communication makes one to understand the other and therefore, solutions could be created for problems, as well as bonds can be created and improve too. Although saying is one point yet doing it is another, it is still hard to do such a task such as communicating when the other neglects your views and don’t seem to blend in with your thoughts. Now that is the trouble that many has faced and yet still facing.

Work does not seems to be a bother to me, except for the report that is going to be due tomorrow and more to be up soon. Though projects and duties play a big part in our academic results, especially when doing this period’s stopover, it is not really that easy to do something with a group of people. As a teammate of the group, it is important that one voice out your opinion when something is not right or changes should be done immediately.

Currently, the only 2 problems that are surfacing in the stopover are the attitude against a person and the attitude of the members when someone is saying something. First of all, to all members attitude when someone speaks, I guess more can be done, such as voicing your displeasure if possible. It won’t make both ends meet if one party don’t agree in something and had to do it unwillingly. Now that’s call force and in the end, another party suffers.

While for the other issue, showing your cold shoulder to someone can be easy but putting yourself into his or her shoes then, what would it be if you are him or her, who gets hated by everyone in a workplace for the entire 9 weeks? Is this a place of torture and no trust? This means that the person will not satisfy others no matter how much effort he or she puts on.

Now, the main point of this piece of crap of mine is very simple; put yourself in a person’s shoes before you move on and do the next step. It will never be a success for someone who never tries to communicate with someone he or she hates. Hence, learn to grow up and at least put in some trust to that person. Now that’s all I’m asking from all of you. It’s a matter of whether you want to make a difference or not.

The next place would be homes, which is also known as the place that we live, for shelter, food and water. Not just the main three requirements, communication also make things possible for those living together under one roof.

For instance, couples communicate to make sure that things in life are going smoothly. Parents communicate to make the relationship going as well. However, sometimes it is hard for the kids to communicate with adults when the adults believes in his or her thoughts and regards others as fools who does not have a good thinking mind as them. To all parents, many things have changed over the years. Today will be quite different from yesterday as certain things have changed. Although the change might not b significant, it affects other people’s lives. One example would be technology. Today you can a 200 GD hard disk, the next month you see the latest version of 1TB hard disk. See the difference?

Problems do exist in my family and I’m opened enough to say this; my Dad seriously a dumb and stubborn, which refuses to listen our thoughts and assumes that he’s right. Maybe in the future I’ll be like him since we have the genes in our body but I’m trying not to be as pessimistic as he does. I do agree that from all my relatives and I realized that he’s the only one who does not know about himself. He’s sensitive, selfish… many more, and thinking about his positive points, or maybe a point, I guess there is no answer to it.

I may know lots of secrets in my family but think again, it is better to remain quiet and be myself at times, instead of saying the negative views of both parents to the other. The best solution is to let them, the adults, to do their decisions to deal with this problem; communication barrier. Whatever the outcome is, I have already decided what I’m doing for my own future, and the responsibilities that I’ll be taking. I’m old enough to think, as well as old enough to earn a living and do something for myself, just that the time is not right for such things to happen. Studies are still a priority hence, its still a long race for me in Education.

Before I end this piece of entry, I think communication has make us, especially sportsmen, to know its existence and importance. Just like a game of soccer on Friday, with no communications, we conceded 3 goals. However, with each person asking for the ball and messages are past down, we win the game. Even I, as a goalie for a moment, scored a goal with a strike, after my ass to Daryl as he shoots the ball, yet parried by the opponent’s goalie before I sealed for the finish. I was the goalie at that time and imagine I ran upfront and did something like this? Not boasting around but if there is no communication, that goal won’t exist, that opportunity won’t arrive. See the effects of it?

Hence, learn to communicate! It is easy to say something to someone but at least, try to talk to that person to make the magic work. It won’t be easy but at least a try means that there’s an effort put in. I’m willing to try, so how about you?
