skill
a skill is an ability, usually learned, to perform actions. skill such as act and crafts, IT programming, interpersonal communication, sports, acting, etc... i suppose everyone have their own unique skill they are excellent and weak in. my worst skill is interpersonal communication i dare say. after been isolated from the real world for so long cause of the rapid advances in communications technology such as e-mail, the internet and e-commerce. i have becoming 'de-voiced', i claim. haha. e-mail, instant messages and Short Message Service(SMS) that replace the need for face-to-face communication. aiyo.. now i'm getting contradict for what should i use face-to-face communication or online communication to communicate with people better. both way seem disadvantage for me.
for online communication it seems to allow more room for misinterpretation, confusion and abuse than traditional forms of communication. on the internet, the mind is present but the body(faces move, voice intone, bodies sway, hand gesture. . .) is gone. recipients get few clues to the personality and mood of the persontypist, can only guess why messages are sent, what they mean, what responses to make. trust is virually out the window.
for traditional forms of interaction such as the telephone and face-to-face meetings. face, bodily management and speech are used in combination to convey certain meanings and to hide others. it even worst, after been using the mIRC chatroom and msn messenger which has 'de-voiced' me for so many years since primary six, movements of facial muscles that give rise to particular expressions... erm.. happiness, sadness, anger, disgust, fear and surprise - body language which also known as non-verbal communication become SOOOO difficult to master. my crappy pronunciation makes thing wrost. voice intone when to speak softly(whisper) and when to talk loudly. bodies sway and hand gesture.. aiyo! troublesome!
overall, communication are still a two way thing. by being mutually aware, conversants 'cooperate' in opening and closing interactions, and in taking turns in speaking. interactions in which one party is converationlly 'uncooperative' which will lead to communication breakdown. which happened quite often in office. shared understanding and knowledge are important too, e.g when i'm hungry i say "i'm loving it" or "pa la pa pa pa" you will understand that i suggesting going to macdonald. if without this shared understanding... i dun know where it will lead to. haha quote of the day: "just say the right thing at the right time at the right place" =Þ
ps: it's true, slience is golden. haha
to be continue~
