Chapter one, the fortuneteller, did you know that Twitter doubled the character limit from 140 to 280 in November of 2017, 280 characters. That is what you get. Go ahead, express yourself. Make a point, be impactful. Stand out caption, a meme and video stream are real. Instant communication, instant gratification. We can all agree that communicating today is very different from what it used to be. We are ok with the style of communication, it is efficient, it is effective and it saves us time. But are we really understood when we talk to each other in grade school? They taught us grammar, language, arts, literature and presentation and speech? Sure, critical thinking exercises helped us with reading comprehension. However, when did we learn? Speaking comprehension? What does the other person really mean by that? This chapter is about better communication. It is about reading others and yourself. If I were a fortune teller, I would be better at figuring out people's intentions. I would be able to read their minds and predict their actions. I could even look into my own future and lead my exchanges with the world to guarantee happiness and success. Too bad. I am not a fortune teller. However, I can be mindful of how words and body cues can help me dictate better interactions. I can even influence these interactions I have with others. Many amazing books on personality traits, love languages and communication come with extensive research and application mainly highlighting how we are different. We are different, yet we are similar and that we all want to be understood. We need to get to a consensus with others. This consensus will allow for more harmony in our lives, less stress, more productivity and better relationships.
