We communicate with others every day. Here are my favorite words of
wisdom to inspire organized communication.
Listen with curiosity. Speak with honesty. Act with integrity. The greatest
problem with communication is we don’t listen to understand. We listen to
reply. When we listen with curiosity, we don’t listen with the intent to reply.
We listen for what’s behind the words. (Roy T. Bennett)
Much unhappiness has come into the world because of bewilderment and
things left unsaid. (Fyodor Dostoevsky)
The single biggest problem in communication is the illusion that it has taken
place. (George Bernard Shaw)
What’s not so great is that all this technology is destroying our social skills.
Not only have we given up on writing letters to each other, we barely even
talk to each other. People have become so accustomed to texting that
they’re actually startled when the phone rings. It’s like we suddenly all have
Batphones. If it rings, there must be danger. Now we answer, “What
happened? Is someone tied up in the old sawmill?” “No, it’s Becky. I just
called to say hi.” “Well you scared me half to death. You can’t just pick up
the phone and try to talk to me like that. Don’t the tips of your fingers work?”
(Ellen DeGeneres)
You can change your world by changing your words... Remember, death
and life are in the power of the tongue. (Joel Osteen)
The most important thing in communication is hearing what isn’t said. (Peter
Drucker)
We have two ears and one mouth so that we can listen twice as much as
we speak. (Epictetus)
You can talk with someone for years, everyday, and still, it won't mean as
much as what you can have when you sit in front of someone, not saying a
word, yet you feel that person with your heart, you feel like you have known
the person for forever. Connections are made with the heart, not the tongue.
(C. JoyBell C)
Conversation, like certain portions of the anatomy, always runs more
smoothly when lubricated. (Doug Wright)
Constantly talking isn't necessarily communicating. (Charlie Kaufman)
