Excerpts from Ephraim Abutu-

Communication is ubiquitous, so you cannot but communicate. Most times some people think communication have to do with the outspoken word or the ability for one to know how to express himself or herself - this is absolutely far from it. Research has shown that human communicate more with non - verbal cues which is about 85% while 5% or less is verbal communication. So the day you choose to remain quite or keep mute and in your mind, you will think you are gentle, you are indirectly passing out a great information to other people to read more meaning about your personality and this can either be seen as Negative or Positive. 

Also, human beings also have different ways in which they exhibit their emotions and this is known as "love language" - the psychologists can tell more about this. So your love language can come in different ways which us also part of non-verbal communication. Most importantly, communication cut across different counties and even organisation.  So when you are in a new environment, try to understand their communication style and try adjust yourself into it. Don't be a stiff necked communicator or a one way communicator - diversification is very important and we must respect and put that into consideration when dealing with different people. 

Finally, in communication or self awareness development, there is something we called Johari Window - this is a psychological way in which people know their different human behaviour. Some parts are known or open to you but close to other, some are open to other but close to you and while some are open to the public and also visible to you. So you see, you cannot but communicate. Understanding yours is paramount.

Story Time

  Lisungu Chieza from Zimbabwe was 26 when she was told in 1996 that she was HIV+. "This started my long journey of coping with being HIV+. My husband died in my arms at home eight months later." Not only did Lisungu have to cope with her own illness and losing her husband, but her husband's family also wrongly blamed her for his death. They came to her house, took away his things, and said, "If those children of yours get sick, don't even call us. We won't have anything to do with them or you." They would not even let her go to her husband's burial. "I gave up a college course I had planned to do. All I thought about was death. I neglected my children and myself." But her mother supported her. Lisungu began to find hope again and joined an HIV support group. Then she started to help others who were also HIV+, and took a college course about HIV-AIDS.
