Effective
communication skills are very important for me because of two reasons. One is that
these skills are essential for my future career in the field of communication.
The other reason is just simple: effective communication helps me to enjoy my
life.
My aim in the
next five years is to become a PR practitioner. For a person working in the PR
industry, the ability to communicate effectively is a must.
Quite a few
people may think PR practitioners are good at telling lies to the public for
the interest of their clients. However, it is not the practice of PR
professionals. The role of PR is to do strategic communication management in
order to maintain the mutual beneficial relationship between organization and
its public. Moreover, the practitioners are required to interact with people
from all walks of life. Therefore, it is no doubt that effective communication
skills are the key for me to achieve my aim.
Not only does
effective communication is needed for my future career but it is also necessary
for me to enjoy the life. As human beings, we communicate every day, just as we
eat and sleep. We do talking, singing, phone calling, glancing or even writing
a blog post as I am doing now. However, successful communication is not always
guaranteed since the skills are not something we were born with. An example is
when you want to share your happiness with someone but they do not get it, or
even think that you are showing off. In that case, the shared happiness that
was supposed to be doubled now leads to misunderstanding and inconvenience.
To conclude, I
believe my life would be so much easier if I am able to communicate
effectively. As no one was born to be good at communicating and I am not an
exception, improving communication skills is my top priority in order to have a
successful career as well as an enjoyable life.
