Every mankind communicates everyday, but in different ways. Even a very simple matter cannot be solved without appropriate communication. Therefore effective communication skills are very essentials for all of us. There are many communication networks and channels we are using in our daily life such as oral communications, written communications, non verbal communications, internal personnel communications etc.
We have always noticed that those who are friendly and good in conversational skills get more popularity and get more chances to success than the rest. But for some, even though their own abilities are good, they are not success as much as they should be due to communications barrier like language problems, lack of active listening to others, lack of cultural self-awareness etc.
I believe most of the people are not perfect in communications. We always face at least one of the above communications barriers. However, as there is a saying “where there is a will, there is a way”, we can always learn to improve our communications skills through many ways. We cannot learn all those skills within a day or a year. It is a life long learning process, I believe. Our communication back in primary school level was definitely different from what we are using in university level today. Like wise, what we communicate at university level today cannot be the same as our communication ways as in our future careers.
Therefore as we grow older, we will need to communicate with more and more people for more purposes. In order to get more opportunities and success in life, we must definitely know well how to communicate effectively with people around us. For that, we should continue developing effective communication skills and practicing them in our daily life wisely.

hihi nang! Yeah sure it does, people who can communicate with others better gain more popularity than the others. We often call them as "more vocal than the others".
I believe we will learn a great deal in this course, so....
... Have you read up for your next lecture?
HAHA! see ya tmr for lecture!
hello NANG!
Sure that we are dealing with different communication levels according to the our ages from childhood to university level.
We have to learn it as a life long learning process. From that, we can develop more and we will be the master on it.
Let's try and start to practise for our dreams ...:)
hihi.. Yeah I agree definitely that it is lifelong learning process and personally I feel that meeting a new friend is perphaps another learning process in communications as well, since every individual is different and the way we communicate with everyone would differ, even if it is slightly.
Nice knowing you and let's keep learning from everyone in the class throughout this entire course!!
Hi Nang, I can't read your blog at all with the blue words against the blue background! Please change. I think Mason has made the same comment.
Hi again. Thanks for changing the template.
You brought out two interesting points in your blog. Firstly, you mentioned that effective communicators tend to be more popular and successful. Definitely! Think of political leaders like Bill Clinton, Anwar Ibrahim, etc. Secondly, you wrote that "Our communication back in primary school level was definitely different from what we are using in university level today." Can you give specific examples to support your point?
Would like to clarify that "oral communications, written communications, non verbal communications, internal personnel communications" are aspects of communication rather than channels or networks of communication. Also, "communications" (plural) refers to ways of sending information, especially using radio, telephone, etc. "Communication" (uncountable) refers to the process by which people exchange information or express their thoughts and feelings. In your sentence above, the word "communications" should be in the singular. On the whole, good effort!
