Question

Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions that follows:

1. It is rare to find someone with a good technical and communication skills. You can get far ahead of your colleagues, if you
combine the two early in your career. People will judge, evaluate, promote or block you based On your communication skills.
Since habits forms of communications , learn to observe great communicators and adopt their styles and traits- in written
and verbal forms. The art of listening and learning from each and every interaction, is another secret recipe. Develop the
subconscious habit of listening to yourself as you speak and know when to pause.

2. Learning what not to say is probably more important than learning what to say. As your career develops, you will realize that
the wise speaks less. Speak when you have value to add, else refrain. Poorly constructed emails with grammatical errors are
acceptable between friends, but they should be seriously avoided while communicating formally with your seniors. Avoid any
communication in an emotional state when you might say things you will regret later. One unnecessary word uttered at the
wrong time or place can ruin a relationship, career or even your life. Such is the power of words. If such a thing happens, you
should immediately apologize, else if may haunt you for life.

3. Another problem to overcome is speaking too fast. Since our minds are working faster than our speech, we are inclined to
speak fast. This does not necessarily mean that the person hearing it will get it any faster. On the contrary, it is always the
reverse. So slow down think before you speak. "When I get ready to speak to people," Abraham Lincoln said, "l spend two-
thirds of the time thinking what they want to hear and one third thinking what I want to say." Adding humour and wit is also
essential. But realize that not all jokes are funny and observe certain boundaries. Never say anything that could offend.
Remember you are not a comedian who must offend as many people as you can, to be witty.
