Enhance Your Communication Skills (for Beginners)

Communication is a coin with two sides. Side one is ‘Explore-ing’ and side two is ‘Express-ing’. Confused!? Let me explain you. Let’s say you are going for window shopping to a mall near by your place. What would you most likely do there? You see all the various products, designs etc. if any product really catches your heart you would try to get a bit more details about it. What is its price? From what brand is it? Etc. well, if everything is given on the tag, its ok. What if it’s not? Simple, you would ask the salesperson about it. This is what I call ‘Explore-ing’. Then you came home. Let’s say you like that product you had seen earlier in the mall very much and you had decided to buy it at any cost. But before buying it you also want to take some suggestions from your friend. So what would you do? You would call you friend and talk about it. You would describe how good it was and how much you liked it. This is what I call ‘Express-ing’. So no matter what you talk about, this is all you do; explore and express. That eventually becomes communication.

My Teachers and Their Lessons

Hi, Welcome to my blog. This is my first post. So, I wanted to make it special. In this post I am going to introduce to you my teachers and their very amazing lessons which ‘played’ and ‘are playing’ a very important role in my life. These lessons from my teachers helped me to build my character, attitude and almost everything that I am today and I am sure that they will help me in building a better myself in future.

Before jumping in, I would like to thank God and my parents for giving me an opportunity to learn from these amazingly wonderful people in my life.

Like many other people in this world, I too had a lot of teachers in my life. But all of them did not leave an impact on my life. There are some teachers who I keep remembering myself with, every now and then. It is because these teachers never confined their teachings to academics alone. They took that one extra mile to mould their students into better citizens. Here goes my list…

*Note: I used initials because, that’s the way I am used to.

Mr. DVD sir:

He was my mathematics teacher during my 9^th grade. We used to wait for his class very eagerly. Mathematics is one of the most fascinating subjects back then (even now it is). But what makes it so special when DVD sir comes to take class is that, of the 40 minutes session he used to teach math for 30 minutes and the remaining 10 minutes he used to share some of the happiest moments of his life with us. He used to tell us about some amazing moments from his childhood. Unlike many other teachers, who would seriously come to class and teach the academics and go away, DVD sir shared some part of his personal life with us. He gave us a feeling that we were his own kids. It is like he took us on a special journey into his life. This is what makes his class so special. Every day when he left the class we used to have a smile on our faces and we used to wait for the next class.

So the most important lesson he taught was, ‘world is never too small to share your experiences with others.’ So don’t confine your life to you alone. Your life should help others people to learn too. So go ahead, share…
