  Clarity about Communication: •There are seven myths about Communication. 1. We communicate only when we want to communicate. This is not true. We communicate all day, everyday without realizing it. 2. Words mean the same to both the Speaker and the listener. Words hold different meaning for different people, based on their various experiences, perceptions and biases. 3. We communicate chiefly with words. In reality, most communication is non-verbal.
• 6.
  4. Nonverbal communicationis silent communication. Some people believe that all non-verbal communication can be seen but not heard. This is not true, because we can hear laughter, weeping, or the tone of voice in which something is said. 5. Communication is a one way street between an active speaker and a passive reader. This myth assumes that all speakers talk to listeners rather than with them. In reality, communication is better when both parties participate actively. 6. The message we communicate is message that the listener receives. People often assume that others receive their message exactly as they intended them. 7. There is no such thing as too much information. Both too little and too much information can be bad.
