When I want to inform someone, I let them know in a clear and convenient way. Information is a valuable way to gain knowledge. I'll give you an example. I'm a football player and I need to know the plays. I would need information about the plays if I am to play in a game later. So, I would inform that football player about the plays and it allows him to benefit from this and use it well. How am I blogging about my respond if I didn't get information? Dr. Wood informed me to blog about this and so I knew what to do. After all, knowledge is power.
To convince people is like trying to change their mind about a thing they're dead set on. If it was I that needs to convince people, I would bring hard, cold facts, evidence and strong points to be able to change their minds. It's like being a lawyer when you have to convince the judge to prove that your client is not guilty. I would bring out discussions with people and give out their own opinion and why theirs right and mine is wrong. How do you do that? Convince them.
Ah, exploration. What moves me, you, us to explore? Perhaps it's curiosity that drives us to have the desire to know what, when, why, where, or how or determination to uncover the secrets behind a door. When I explore, it's mainly curiosity because I want to know why do people do that or like it. I want to be in other's shoes and know how they feel.
Decisions are made with convincing myself and arguments. Decisions are made every day, small or big. Small decisions are daily like what to wear, jeans or shorts? polo or T-shirt? Big decisions i make is like picking classes, deciding colleges like I decided to attend Gallaudet University. Decisions can be changed with peruasion and arguments. They can be convinced to change their decisions.
I don't really meditate or pray since I'm not really religious. I do believe in God, but that's basically it. The only times I meditate or pray is before serious games like football or basketball. I think meditation and praying are methods to calm our minds and get rid of stress that is upon us.

I like how the relationship between informing, convincing, and deciding can be shown easily :
ReplyDeleteWhen you inform, if they don't believe you, you convince them and then they decide what to believe.
I like this quote : I would bring out discussions with people and give out their own opinion and why theirs right and mine is wrong.
Discussion is foundation of all three communication skills.
DUECES!!!!
ReplyDeleteI agree with Chris, I like the quote about discussions. In my opinion, to learn more about the world, you have to participate in open discussion and you'll open your mind to many more things.
