“Communication: the thing humans forgot when we invented words.”
— Richard Branson
Simplified Meaning:
Sometimes, even though we use many words, we don't actually understand each other. Real communication isn't just about talking; it's about truly connecting and understanding. Imagine two friends: one tells the other about a problem, but the other just nods without really listening. The words are there, but the real understanding is missing. It's better to listen carefully, show emotions, and be present, rather than just filling silence with words. When someone shares a story, responding with empathy shows that you care and understand, more than just saying "I see." Good communication comes from the heart, not just the mouth.
