What is communication? Communication is an act of exchanging information or news and plays a very important role in our everyday lives. Developing a good communication habit is an essential skill that will benefit us. Many people have different ways in communicating, be it their culture language, hand signs and so on.
I believe everyone has their own strengths and weaknesses when it come to communicating. For me, one of the strengths that I possess in communicating is that I am an active listener. I would pay very close attention to what the other party has to say. My guess is this is probably because of the sincerity that I provide when listening to them. I would simply listen, maintain eye contact and only comment or speak when the other party is done talking. From there, I am able to view things from the other party's perspective and understand what he/she really meant.
I do too possess weaknesses in communication. It may sound coincidental due to the pronunciation of my name(Syai has the same pronunciation as shy), as I am actually quite shy when speaking to others. This is probably because I may not have much to say or sometimes I might lack confidence here and there to just speak up. Perhaps I should pluck up my courage and speak up a bit more than how I usually do. I should work on these issues to be efficient in communicating. I do hope I can improve on my communication skills throughout this course.
