                               Brainy Fact


                       • The smoke signal was the first long-distance communication method.
                       • Due to their inherent homing ability, pigeons were often used for long-distance communication.
                       • A woman in Western Australia discovered the oldest known "message in a bottle" in 2018, which
                       is thought to be 132 years old.





                      Effective Communication

              Effective communication necessitates the ability to communicate messages  that  are clear, concise and accurate. A
              straightforward statement provides the exact idea that you want to send to the other person. We have two sentences
              here. Which of the following do you believe is a clear statement?
                                                                             th
              Statement 1: A student tells his teacher, “I have a football match on 30  November at 10 am. Kindly allow me to write
              the exam the next day.”

              Statement 2: A student tells his teacher, “I have a football match. Kindly allow me to write the exam the next day.”
              Now, let’s consider the replies in each situation.

              Statement 1: The teacher replied, “Ok. You may write the exam the next day.”
              Statement 2: The teacher replied, “You have already missed many days. If you cannot balance sports and studies, it will
              be difficult for you to get good grades.”
              As you can observe in the second statement, there is no need for the teacher to talk about the student’s grades in the
              current scenario. This could have been shared separately or in a different forum like a PTM.
              An accurate statement is factual, in the sense that its correctness can be proved. Let us see more examples:

                 • The metro will arrive late at the Rajiv Chowk station by 5 minutes.
                 • The metro will arrive late at the Rajiv Chowk station.
                 • Your application for new job is incomplete: contact number and address is missing.

                 • Your application for new job is incomplete.
              As  you  can  see,  quantitative  information  is  mentioned  in  the  first  line,  that  makes  the  sentence  accurate.  Our
              communication must be clear, brief and accurate. Effective communication abilities enable us to convey the message
              accurately and completely. Confusion, frustration,  lost  effort, and missed  opportunities  can all  arise from  a lack of
              communication skills.
