The Role of Effective Communication in our Lives

Communication is essential in our daily living. It helps us to relate effectively and clearly with other people.The field of communication is very broad. Before, I thought that communication is only limited to verbal expressions. I was was wrong. Communication could be conveyed in different methods. It is not only verbal  but also non-verbal. Both verbal and non-verbal communication helps in conveying thoughts or feelings between persons.

Communication is usually defined as a process by which an individual transmits stimuli to modify the behavior of other individuals. But the definition of communication that struck me most is that "communication occurs when there is a meeting of meanings." I personally believe that communication fails because there is no meeting of meanings. I see communication as a weapon; a very powerful one. If communication is to be likened to a gun, words will serve as one of its bullets. Words are very powerful because it can make or break lives. One should be sensitive in using it.

The importance of communication in our lives impels us to become more effective communicators. Thus, it is very important to consider communication as a tool in order to establish good relationship towards others.
