Firstly, let me share with you one of my stories.
Two years ago, I had a chance to work in an amusement park in Ohio, USA. The working culture in America is different from Singapore and Asia in general. People tend to work independently and strictly, even with co-workers. Though I admit that they were very sociable, it took me a hard time to communicate with a wide range of people. Then it was the first time ever I realized the paramount importance of effective communication. And I told myself that I would perform better if I had tried to move out of my comfort zone and interacted more with people.
Bearing that in mind, I also realize how effective communication can foster team work and friendship. In doing school project, the most important thing is not how good I do, but how I manage myself and others to deliver the project’s objective towards the end. In fact, good communication will boost the productivity of all the members in a team. For friendship, it is good to have many friends, but it is difficult to maintain such relationship without effective communication.
To summarize, effective communication is a mean to archive any target in working and studying. I hope I will become a better communicator through this course.
