Communication Principles

How you see yourself can make a great difference in how you communicate.“Every individual exists in a continually changing world of experience of which he(or she)is the center”.Many communication scholars and social scientists believe that people are products of how others treat them and of the messages others send them.But every day we experience the centrality of our selves in communication.A student.for instance,may describe a conflict with a teacher as unfair treatment:“I know my teacher doesn’t like the fact that I don’t agree with his opinions.and that’s why he gave me such a poor grade in that class.”The teacher might say the opposite.Each person may believe that he is correct and that the other person’s view is wrong.

The concept of serf originates in communication.Through verbal and nonverbal symbols, a child learns to accept roles in response to the expectations of others.You establish self-image。The sort of person you believe you are,by how others think of you.Positive,negative,and neutral messages that you receive from others all play a role in determining who you are.Communication itself is probably best understood as a dialogue process.Our understanding of communication comes from our interactions with other people.In a more obvious way.communication involves others in the sense that a competent communicator considers what the other person needs and expects when selecting messages to share.So,the communication begins with the self,as defined largely by others,and involves others,as defined largely by the self.

Communication Occurs almost every minute of your life.If you are not communicating  with yourself(thinking,planning,reacting to the world around you),you are observing others and drawing inferences from their behavior.Even if the other person did not intend a message for you.you gather observations and draw specific conclusions.A person yawns and you believe that person is bored with your message.A second person looks away from you and you conclude that person is not listening to you.A third person smiles(perhaps because of a memory of a joke he heard recently) and you believe that he is attracted to you.We are continually picking up meanings from others’ behaviors and we are constantly providing behaviors that have communicative value for them.

More often than not,you may have hurt someone accidentally and you may have tried to explain that you did not mean that. You may have told the other person that you were sorry for your statement.You may have made a joke out of your rude statement.Nonetheless,your comment remains both in the mind of the other person and in your own mind.You cannot go back in time and erase your messages to others.Communication cannot be reversed(倒退),nor can it be repeated.When you tried to re―create the atmosphere,the conversation,and the setting,nothing seemed right.Your second experience with a similar setting and person made far different results.

I truly learned what a best friend is in my first year in high school. Kate and I were good friends and we were inseparable. We spent every day together and always had a good   36  .
Then basketball started and we were on the  37   team. After a few games,  38   , Kate got moved up to the Rose Cup full-time. I wouldn't admit it then, but actually I envied(嫉妒) her. Having  39  practice times, we started to see less of each other. Soon I started to hear that she was talking   40  my back.
One night, I called Kate to tell her about my new   41  .To my   42  , the next day at school she told everyone I   43    her style because she had told me she wanted to get hers cut like this. At noon she handed me a letter and walked away   44     talking with me. I couldn't accept the   45  words on the paper. In great __46__ , I wrote right back to her.
Over the next week, we exchange(交换) more  47   notes. I cried myself to sleep every night,   48     our friendship was over. One night my mom took me to Kate's home. Our moms looked at each other  49 . Kate's mom asked us questions but __50 _ of us responded(反应) .At last I let everything out. The huge burden in my mind was slowly lifted as we each talked about ___51____ we were feeling. It was all out. Suddenly Kate  52  from her seat, crossed the room and hugged me with tears. I will never forget that.
It has been five months  53  we broke with each other. Last weekend we were out together again. It makes me happy that we are  54   to care about each other more. I now know that  55 I am asked about my friends, Kate will be at the top of the list.

Many years ago, I owned a service station and roadhouse on the main road between Melbourne and Adelaide.
One very cold, wet night at about 3:30 a.m., there was a  36   on the front door of our house. A young man, wet from   37  to toe, explained that he had  38   out of petrol about 30 km up the road. He had left his pregnant(怀孕的) wife and his two children  39  at the car and said that he would hitchhike(搭便车) back.
Once I had   40   a can with petrol, I took him back to his car where his two-year-old and four-year-old children were both   41  ,saying that they were cold. Once the car had started, I suggested that he   42   me back.
Before leaving, I had turned the heater   43  in the roadhouse, so that when we went in, it was nice and 44   .While the little ones played and ran   45  ,I prepared bread and butter for the children, and hot chocolate for the  46  .
It was about 5 a.m. before they   47  .The young fellow asked me how much he 48  me and I told him that the petrol pump(加油泵) had   49  $15.He offered to pay “call-out fee”,but I wouldn’t accept it.
About a month later, I received a   50  from Interstate, a large bus company that we had been trying to  51 to stop off at our roadhouse for a long time. It 52  out that the young fellow I had helped was its general manager, the most   53   person in the company.
In his letter, he thanked me again and   54  me that, from then on, all their buses would stop at my service station. In this  55  ,a little bit of kindness was rewarded with a huge amount of benefits.
