Why Effective Business Communication Is Important?

Leave a comment

I have taken some class notes when I was attending the Business Communication class session 1 (BC1). This class was conducted by Professor Mr. Mohammad Saif Noman Khan from the Institute of Business Administration, Dhaka University.

Those classes for ACMP 4.0 (Advanced Certificate for Management Professionals, 4.0 stands for 4th Industry revolution). I will have several blog writing for my own study and your comments about my study as well.

This blog just depends on business communication class notes there are lots of things you have to learn about business communication. It is just a start. To read more if you like please follow the topic for another blog post.

Please do not hesitate to make me correct and request to add more information for the following;

How important is technical skill for success?

Try guessing your answer before read the answer.

Our financial success depends 85% on our personality (habits, mindset, etc. Ability to manage other people, communication, negation, and leadership skills) Only 15% depends on technical skills.

For answering that question I have told 10% along with some other students. Some students said 50%. Our class teacher Mr. Noman told me about this. There is no answer such answer as 50% because this is a biased answer.

Mr. Noman (Our class teacher) define Today as the followings;

T- This is an

O- Opportunity to

Do- Do

A -work, better than     

Y- Yesterday

Why do I communicate?

                Because I want something.

 

We have to take calculative risks. There is saying No Risk No Gain.

What is communication?

  • Has a goal.
  • Always has a purpose.
  • Is just a tool!

To make successful communication;

  • We have to follow; KISS (Keep it short and simple)
  • We have to remember always that the other person to whom we want to communicate; may be busier than us.
  • For a long written topic we have to follow the rule of 4 lines. That is no paragraph should be more than 4 lines.
  • Assess the audience.
  • Avoid acronyms with caution when outside.
  • Avoid Technical words when audience from outside
  • serve the goal.

“Every Women should take care of her own business affair – Hatty Green”

Leave a comment

The title of this post from a quote from a successful and prominent finance manager Hatty Green. During her ages, people knew her as the “Witch of Wall Street”.

This all started when she moved to live with her grandfather, Gideon Howland, and her Aunt Sylvia. At the age of 10, she was able to read and understand financial reports, ledgers, and trade commodities. During those days she read the stock quotations and make valuable comments for her Grandfather. That’s the foundation for our greatest witch of wall street.

I am writing this blog to keep a record of such an inspiring lady and for her some notable quotes. That really helpful for our day-to-day life.

“In business generally, don’t close a bargain until you have reflected on it overnight.”

“It is the duty of every woman, I believe, to learn to take care of her own business affairs,” 

“A girl should be brought up as to be able to make her own living”

“Whether rich or poor, a young woman should know how a bank account works, understand the composition of mortgages and bonds, and know the value of interest and how it accumulates.”

“I buy when things are low and nobody wants them. I keep them until they go up and people are crazy to get them. That is, I believe, the secret of all successful business.”

Friends are for life .. .. ..

Leave a comment

We all have friends whatever the number represents, isn’t it? About numbers anyone can say ;

“I have only 1 friend in my life”

“I’ve lots of friends and among them some are really good friends, some are my best friends and some are my best bed mates…”

As I said earlier numbers are not important for any of us. What matters to us are the following questions

Who are my real best friends of mine?

The answer you should know already. But before choosing this answer please keep asking twice, are you really making the right choice?

British anthropologist Robin Dunbar proposed a number for on average personnel can maintain around 150 stable social relationships with each other. This number is called Dunbar’s numbers nowadays.

It is not mean that 150 personnel would be your friend or best friend or whatever you like to say. In the era of social media and the internet, we all do have tons of friends and tons of people to interact with all the time. We often meet with new people as we go through life. But whenever we think about or talk about proper friends; people we can have a meaningful relationship with, share odds and success confidently and get back all kinds of support during need. The number gets lower to zero from 150 or even more.

We don’t even notice it happening when our best friends get away from our life and we don’t recognize when the new best mate replaces the one we really want to have forever. Actually, it is very natural to us and the way we things are. We often move in and out of each other’s lives and that’s the way it is. As per Mr. Richard Templar

The more everyone moves around, the more fluid friendship groups can become.

Why is this happening? the simple answer is people are now moving faster than earlier ages. We are not living in only one village or community. We often move from here and there. That is why we have new faces around us and new relationships.

This sounds sad, but the reason for it is that new people are becoming important to you and giving you the support, fun, and company that you need. And the same thing is happening for the people dropping quietly off the bottom of your friend list. So it’s OK. In fact, it’s a good thing. There are always new friends waiting up ahead. So work to keep the friends that you really want to hang on to, but don’t feel bad when others drift away from you.

Please make a note for onwards-

Friends come and go

 

This writing was inspired by the book “The Rules to Break” written by Richard Templar. Some words are from his written as well to get organized this post.

“The Rules to Break” – A book Review

Leave a comment

Are the rules meant to break? Buddies; Be careful! I’m not asking about all of the rules meant to break. To identify what exact rules to break you should have to read the book “The Rules to Break” by Richard Templar.

Richard Templar

The author writes about 100 rules to break in this book. I have just gone through only 6 rules to break and I have already been impressed by his strong storytelling capabilities. Just only following words push me to write this book review;

“The world is against you”

“Listen, we all get good breaks and bad breaks. People treat us badly or we get lucky and they spoil us. We all have great teachers, rubbish friends, tricky mums or dads, difficult siblings, supportive adults when we’re growing up… a whole mishmash of influences. “

But in the end, it’s we (you/I), who should take responsibility for all outcomes of our work and activities.

Here is the rule he concludes for this chapter # 6 and rule # 6

You’re responsible for your own life.

I will write on this book more in some days when it’s finished by me. Till then happy reading and please let me know how you found this book so far and what are the important topics to you. Thank you. Cheers! Happy Reading.

Christina Perri – A Thousand Years to love …

Leave a comment

First of all please don’t be angry with me if I made a great title on my own.

Yes! I’m talking about the singer from Pennsylvania another college dropout from her communication major degree. Why do most successful people always have to be dropped out?? That means I’ll not be successful! As I’m not a dropout till now…(There still may chance, isn’t it?)

Ok, yes I’m writing about Christina Perri; The song I really loved her is as follows;

This song is known as the theme song for The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn- Part 1. Obviously, I love that movie as well.


Let’s talk about her again; You will be surprised if you know how she learns to play guitar.  Yes, buddy! she taught herself all alone just watching a videotape of Shannon Hoon; another great singer.

According to the wiki so far I know that she became the singer after breaking up and getting divorced. The first album which bring her all success is “Jar of Hearts” Which was written by herself end of 2009. Making the dream true she goes to Los Angeles and worked as a waitress in a cafe during the day and at night she does her recording for her very first own album. After hardworking; yes the dream came true her debut album sold 100k copies within a month.

She is not just a star but also a family personnel. As per her statement when she was in Los Angeles, she felt terrified being over 3000 away from her family and she cried out every day for that ….

The following image was taken from her website.

After all, I can say if you have time please listen to her A thousand-mile song and read through it sure you’ll miss someone if you really have a love for someone.

The day we met,
Frozen I held my breath
Right from the start
I knew that I’d found a home for my heart
Beats fast
Colors and promises
How to be brave?
How can I love when I’m afraid to fall
But watching you stand alone?
All of my doubt suddenly goes away somehow
 
One step closer
I have died everyday waiting for you
Darling don’t be afraid I have loved you
For a thousand years
I’ll love you for a thousand more
 
Time stands still
Beauty in all she is
I will be brave
I will not let anything take away
What’s standing in front of me
Every breath
Every hour has come to this
 
One step closer
I have died everyday waiting for you
Darling don’t be afraid I have loved you
For a thousand years
I’ll love you for a thousand more
 
And all along I believed I would find you
Time has…
Thanks, Perri to have a great song to be a gift for each and every lover to their lover. I would like to play this song every special moment….
