“The single biggest problem in communication is the illusion that it has taken place”
— George Bernard Shaw

Simplified Meaning:
Sometimes, people think that just because they spoke or sent a message, the other person has understood it perfectly. However, this isn’t always true. For example, imagine a boss sending an email about a project deadline. The boss thinks the team understands what to do, but the team might have questions or misunderstand parts of it. This can lead to mistakes or confusion. Good communication means checking if the other person really understood. In your life, when you talk to someone, make sure to ask if they have questions or need more details, rather than just assuming they understand everything right away.
