3 ways for better communication

We live in an era that communication is more easier than ever before. Technology and innovation are here to make our life simple enough. Every day we are sending and writing billions of emails, instant messages, posts, tweets, in order to communicate with our people. Our smartphones are on fire and our applications have the magic beautiful red notification that make us happy.

But are we happy really? Are we building strong relationships into this form of communication? And how we can explain the fact that one of the biggest problem of our society is communication? Is very weird, not?

I think the answer to all these questions is simple. The key word here is “magic”. What i mean? Let me tell you an example. I am 35 years old and i belong to a generation which listened music from cassette tapes and vinyls. There was no cds, youtube or shazam. When we listened a song on the radio we have to be prepared to tap the rec button to record the song. Otherwise, you have to wait until the next time. But all this waiting included a bit of magic.

In contrast, all this procedure is much easier in our days. You listen a song, you tap shazam and the song is on your screen on your smartphone. Or if you can not do this, you remember five words of the lyrics of the song, you google it and with a little effort and luck you could find the song. So easy.

One of my favourite books, The Little Prince, says: “It is the time you have wasted for your rose that makes your rose so important.” And this is the magic that i mentioned above. Nothing less nothing more.

Of course, human relationships it is not like music. But thera is one thing in common: ease. You can find thousands of people from social media and start talking with them. And if someone doesn’t reply you move to next one. We treat people as disposable and that is our big mistake. Because people are special. Everyone has his own magic and we have to waste time to discover it.

So the next time you want to communicate with someone who is special for you, change the expected and follow these 3 easy steps.

1. Forget all communications channels and dial his/her phone number NOW.
2. Don’t talk too much from the phone and ask him/her to get out.
3. Get out and have a deep and honest conversation. This deeper interaction will be revealing. Trust me.

It is not easy when we are accustomed to hiding behind a computer screen or mobile. It’s time to build clear and true communication. Good luck!
