Food for your soul

Words from your mouth can either "kill" or comfort people

Whenever you speak, words coming from your mouth can speak the volume of your thoughts.

Sometimes the person with no intention speak from her thoughts can be a disaster or good news. Even writing an email can be a poison too.

People can misunderstand or misinterprete your words. How would we get our message across to other people?

1) Write in simple English in email that can be straight forward. It mean no malice.

2) Some people find hard to express their thoughts into the words and tend to keep quiet in fear of facing objections or rejection from people around them.

3) When embarking on projects or working with people, communication can be important. Sometimes, the person tends to with hold information with reasons and will tell people bits by bits till the person feel ready to accept the major project or assignments.

4) In the rush hours especially at work, the person tends to make things short and gives out the key information without going into details. It can cause alot of misunderstanding.

Sometimes people tends to use words to express their thoughts but can be easily misinterprete by other people.

Is it good to be straight forward without malice or drop hints that people will understand?

Some people do not like hints or cannot get hints because they prefer the straight forward way so that they will understand easily.

In emotional, some people tends to use words carefully to comfort the person or choose to keep quiet not to fan the flames. Sometimes words can be very harsh that woke the person up. It is the most direct way that stir up the raw nerves in the person.

My thoughts here: If i am tactful, will the misunderstanding be minimized? It is something that we have to be tactful in some ways.

But words can speak the volumes of our personality. Even writing simple english is able to get the message across to the other people.

Sometimes words from simple english show no malice and cause people to think more than just a meaning.
