So I'll begin this with a story, and please, if you dont like reading, then skip to the bottom and read my conclusion.
The story begins with a job interview:
I was called in for a job interview for a company that I shall not name. I accepted and attended the interview. After having determined that I was a Christian, the CEO determined that I was not a good fit for the company.
He told me why. He said that it is a very stressful environment and as such there is often yelling and cursing between him and his employees. He then questioned whether or not I could handle that.
I have thought very deeply about this and as a result I have learned something quite interesting. He blamed the environment for the bad communication when in fact it was that type of communication that fostered that type of environment in the first place.
You see communication is something taken far too lightly. It is one of the most unappreciated concepts that there is.
Without communication, many things could not take place, such as the transfer of knowledge. There would be no language or way to express what we learned or how we felt. There would be no technology, no progression. We would not feel pain, or sorrow. As a matter of fact, we would be lifeless. For without communication, not even the cells in our brains could work together. In that light, our level of communication is parallel to our rate of progression.
Everything that has to do with life as we know it is built upon communication.
If you were to use corrupt communication, by virtue of it being a basic building block upon which we are built, we would become corrupt also. In the same light, communication that is positive and uplifting will eventually make us positive and uplifted.
You see thats what that ceo didn't get. You can not become a better person while at work you shout and sware at your employees. It will not happen, all that is going to happen to someone that communicates like him is self degredation. You become what you communicate. So if the level of communication declines from good to bad, then so do you.
CONCLUSION!!!!
Communication is one of the most vital building blocks for life. And because of that, the way we communicate is the way we become. Communicate joy, and you will become joyful, communicate misery, and you will become miserable.
