Dear Taichung Happiers,

The technological advance I'm waiting for on my phone is the 'get to the point' button.

How often do you laugh at the “communication” between your Mom and Dad? What’s it about? Why do we need communication? Author Rock Bankole reasoned that "When you can effectively communicate and talk to anyone, you can own your life again. You are not at the random mercy of just accepting the assumption that you cannot talk well. Grab the bull by the horns and change your entire life." Communication conquers all. Are you a great communicator? Of course, yes! Yes, as long as the communication starts with human nature. We need communication because the need to connect is innate; we need communication because we share and exchange information through communication; we need communication because communication is to feel the freedom in the air. People have the image of communication as a vehicle or a highway to associate with connections. I prefer to make the assumption that communication is a magic bridge, and everyone draws, delivers, and distributes information on it. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to join our host Micro in exploring the magic bridge of communication.

Speak with confidence. While speaking, believe in yourself and bear in mind that others are equally unique and of value. Some say that the 3 fastest means of communication are the 3T (Twitter, Telephone, and “Tell a woman”). Nevertheless, Dr. Marilyn Atkinson, an Industrial Psychologist, completely turns communication competency inside out. "The deeper mind looks for understanding before it offers its wisdom into any conversation. Building rapport with a person - stepping into his or her world - is the easiest and fastest way of communicating with the deeper mind." All right, and we can always learn more from the natural world. Elephants communicate, not only with Ballet. Elephants communicate, with conciliation and reconciliation. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yd0MRjq37uw Moreover, starting with the result of the longest research on happiness by Dr. Robert Waldinger that good relationships keep us happier and healthier, Co-Founder and CEO of Tribute.co Andrew Horn demonstrates the destination of communication with the actualized actions of appreciation and connection. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DcPWvByIpZU What he means by our responsibility to be honest with ourselves is to believe ourselves and also, others. Beneath the magic bridge of communication is a glorious garden of thoughts. Through thoughts, everyone communicates with themselves, with others, and with this world, because their thoughts present who he/she is. For a poet, words are his/her matter. How about a scientist, an artist, or a stranger on the street? Do you communicate with dancing, singing, or sporting? Art coaches communication--even the consequence of communicating beyond words can be more considerable and sustainable--for example, when films communicate with us, through silent scenes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9NJj12tJzqc With words or not, speak with confidence to build the magic bridge of communication.

Listen with concerns. Communication is not just about what we say or what our body language reveals; communication is about everything else we think about, we care about, and we feel about; communication is about what we are aspiring for and not acquire yet. Contributing on human character development and motivation, American radio personality, speaker, and author Earl Nightingale (March 12, 1921 – March 28, 1989) sincerely suggests the power of listening:“Open your ears before you open your mouth; it may surprise your eyes!” Now, listen to this Keyboard Playing—it will light up the magic bridge of communication. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HLjvkj3ej08 Without competent listening, there could not be compelling communication. Listening is like the water under the magic bridge of communication. Check out how high Effective Listening can lift you. https://www.forbes.com/sites/glennllopis/2013/05/20/6-effective-ways-listening-can-make-you-a-better-leader/#6d0948b01756 In communication, how far can our curiosity take us is beyond our imagination and expectation. Deep in the water, there are more pearls than words to greet our eyes. Most importantly, how? How to be a curious listener? https://hbr.org/2016/07/what-great-listeners-actually-do Listen with concerns to build the magic bridge of communication.

Act with compassion. Communication is the process of participation and partnership. At the center of the magic bridge of communication, there are prayers and wishes. Who, or what, can grant these wishes? Compassion is the mother of magic. Magic does exist. Where there are people spreading the seeds of compassion to serve more, there is magic. Above all, it's never too early to teach empathy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=olmM_9r-6l8 Furthermore, communicating with people’s talents takes compassionate actions. Different people see information in different ways. This girl with Autism, Carly Fleischmann, can’t talk. Looking at her eyes, her father found her innate intelligence, so he never gave up on her. Communication is all about connection, instead of correction. She now has a voice to inspire people. http://www.carlysvoice.com/index.html Now, relax, please. A deep breath is always the leading actor on the magic bridge of communication. Hey, this penguin must have had a luminous lecture by Ralph Waldo Emerson. "What you do speaks so loud that I cannot hear what you say." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UCYMMUYRQdc Act with compassion to build the magic bridge of communication.

“Seven Advices” (by Mevlânâ Celâleddin Mehed Rumi)

In generosity and helping others: be like the river
In compassion and grace: be like the sun.
In concealing others’ faults: be like the night.
In anger and fury: be like the dead.
In modesty and humility: be like the soil.
In tolerance: be like the ocean.
Either you appear as you are, or: be as you appear.

When it comes to communication, we have to thank all Happiers, who have communicated with love and respect. At the end of every gathering, we have the echo from all participants--great to always have Happiers’ enthusiasm which encourages us by feeling good to be each other's company--we exchanged our thoughts, and we shared the same happy mood. Virginia Woolf (25 January 1882 – 28 March 1941), one of the foremost modernist literary figures of the twentieth century, had put accent on this. "Communication is health; communication is truth; communication is happiness. To share is our duty..............." Yes! And, let us keep believing in communication. Join us. Thanks. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TzgmPaQp7cc





With Gratitude,
Jasmine
