I read the six questions of DeVito in the IPC book.
While I was reading them, the question that ‘The
more you communicate, the better at it you will be’ surprised me the most. This means that practicing more communication will make a person better. Only communicating does not solve many problems. The communication should be meaningful, it should be fruitful and it should also add value to the message. Yes it is true that more of public speaking help people to improve their communication but unless the mistakes that one makes while communicating is evaluated and improved, there is no use of communicating again and again There are various modes of communication that have come up these days like communicating using PPTs, via visuals or movies and speeches of famous people. These modes of communication are self-explanatory. So I felt that people understand it better and it also improves the communication between two people as the message is understood more clearly. The question implied that one should practice communicating with people as it makes the person better, but the person should also learn a proper way of communication so that the effectiveness can be improved further. Learning happens when there is improvement on the mistakes that people make while communicating.
