Myth & Reality of communications

Another on ‘Myth & Reality’ series!!!

Today I happened to read an article on business communication. There was list of myths and realities on communication. I am quoting it here for people like me who (still/was) believes in these myths.

Myth: We communication consciously and deliberately
Reality: We actually communicate unconsciously all the time

Myth: We communicate primarily through words
Reality: We use both verbal as well as non-verbal means of communication

Myth: Words mean the same to every one
Reality: The meaning of words lies more in the perception of reality

Myth: Communication is a one sided process
Reality: Communication is a two-way process

Myth: The message sent and the message received is identical
Reality: The transmitted message and received message can not be identical

Myth: The responsibility of effective communication rests with both the sender and the receiver
Reality: The responsibility of effective communication rests with the sender alone
