The power of Silence

Hey, Hong Chun's back!

Nonverbal can also act as a tool to communicate with others without any words and lately,I had learned a powerful word which is silence. It is closely related to what i had learned in class and a scenario.

Last Wednesday, I came to HELP early in the morning for my class. Since my class started at 9.30 a.m., I sat at casual place to relax myself. While I'm relaxing myself,in the same time I also observing the people around me. I had learned that one ways to understand people is to observe them.

Suddenly, I saw 2 people of friend sitting together and talked to each other in front of me. Initially, they both starting to talked happily and exicitedly, but at a moment, one of the friend started to burst into tears as they continue their conversation. The another of friend not only listened emphatically to what the sad friend said but the another friend also remain silenced.

Then it came across my mind and I realized that silence and listen emphatically is what I had learned in class. From my point of view, listen and silence are come together. When you are silence, it means that you are paying attention to what another person said and in the same time, it gives the feeling to that person that you understand what sort of problems that I benn through. In conclusion, silence is another new powerful tool that I had learned as I thought before of silence makes people think that I'm not listening which I'm wrong.
