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 in order to cater to their clients' interest. However, it is not the practice of PR professionals. The role of PR is to do strategic communication management in order to establish and 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, there is no doubt that effective communication skills are the key for me to achieve my aim.
Not only is effective communication 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. Communication happens in many things we do such as talking, singing 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 a person want to share his/her happiness with someone else but that person do not get it, or even think that the first person is 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. No one was born to be good at communicating and I am by no means an exception to that. As such, improving communication skills is my top priority in order to have a successful career as well as an enjoyable life.
