You in speaking
It is widely held that when we speak 7% of the meaning is
conveyed by the actual words, 38% of the meaning by the tone used, 55% of the
meaning is conveyed by our body language.
The result of that finding points out some interesting issues
such as the importance of body language when speaking. For unacquainted persons
these findings may hold true but for close associates, there is an important
factor that determines meaning during communication: who we are. If we
say the same words, use similar tone, show the same body language, the meaning
of the words will depend on our individual character. While the one’s words may
give encouragement and peace of mind, the other’s (same) words may bring despair
and alarm.
