Communication: 6 Hacks

1. When you don’t understand something, say: “I don’t understand.”

People will explain again.

2. When you don’t agree with something, say: “I don’t agree.”

People will respect your opinion.

3. When you don’t want to do something, say: “No, thank you, I don’t want to do this.”

People will find a way without you.

4. When you want something, say: “Excuse me, can you help me with this?”

People will be happy to give you a hand.

5. When you like someone, say: “I like you.”

People will like you too.

6. When you know you did something wrong, say: “I’m sorry. That was my fault.”

People will forgive you.


I think those are all the communication life hacks you need to know. And whenever you apply one of them, do this next: listen. After all…

We have two ears and one mouth so that we can listen twice as much as we speak. ~Epictetus
