Where am I going?

The most interesting and most relevant to my life idea from Chapter 2 would be the one where author says “communication is unsuccessful whenever the meanings intended by the source differ from the meanings interpreted by the receiver”. My goal is to get to the point where my communication skills would be so well developed that I could formulate and send meanings without having receivers interpret it differently. I believe that it is ultimate goal I will be working on whole my life. I will be trying hard to learn receivers, and will succeed if those are going to be people whom I meet pretty often. In order to achieve this goal it is necessary to follow few steps:

1. be open minded - it means that I really need to avoid judging people who are different;
2. see what’s beyond – ability to read and understand people on a deeper level is crucial for successful  communication. I would call it the hardest thing to learn to do;
3. become guru in message engineering – that’s where every communicator faces biggest challenge, because message should be built correctly. We are dealing here with sender’s intelligence and wisdom in formulating message and sending it correctly.

I hope that by the end of this class I will be closer to achieving that goal.
