The deadliest conversation sins

1. Conversation Hijacking
The Hijacker motive is to expect you to listen to them. They like to top your story and belittle it, while allowing little time for discussion or reaction to it. Usually it will create an unbalanced conversation between the Hijacker and the victim.

2. Eye Contact Issues
When someone is talking to you, we must have eye contact with that person whether it is interesting or not. It is because a good eye contact has a certain rhythm to it.

3. Ghost Listening
This is equivalent to a speaker talking to the wall just like falling on deaf ears. It is very impolite when someone speaks to you and you did not pay attention.

4. Making Tasteless Jokes
Sometimes we can joke with one another in a conversation but we must have our limit.

5. Me, Me, Me
In this conversation, the speaker only talks about his own life whereas he forgets to ask about the listener's life.

6. My Name is Negativity
For example, "I don't want to wash the dishes today because I am tired". Nobody likes to listen to a negative person.

7. Dead End Answering
It is by replying the speaker with "yes" or "no" just like being grilled by policemen. Therefore, in order to avoid this, we should say more.


In conclusion, we should avoid these bad conversation habits.

Evolution of Communication

Ardipithecus anamensis, which is one of the earliest human ancestors, 4.5 million years ago, and Australopithecus afarensis, 3.5 million years ago had brains that were much too small to support speech. Homo Habilis (2.5-1.8 million years ago) had a more advanced frontal lobe which is where speech is controlled from but its larynx was not positioned low enough to allow it to produce the range of sounds recognisable as speech.

It was, in fact, only about 300,000 years ago that human ancestors developed the larynx, pharynx, hyoid and skull base that rendered them physically capable of speech.

Message

Being a muslim today, is way more challenging than what my muslim ancestors went through.

Just yesterday i watched this movie called My name is khan. Usually many people has this perception that bollywood movies are just about couples running around the trees and singing songs. My name is khan has not only made that statement false but also sent a remarkable message to all worlds residents about the true meaning of Islam and its purpose. i think everyone should watch it!!

His Legacy

Thirsty Fish

One night a baby fish was sleeping under some coral when God appeared to him in a dream. "I want you to go forth with a message to all the fish in the sea,"

God said. "What should I tell them?" the little fish asked. "Just tell them you’re thirsty," God replied. "And see what they do." Then without another word, He disappeared. The next morning the little fish woke up and remembered his dream. "What a strange thing God wants me to do," he thought to himself. But as soon as he saw a large tuna swimming by, the little fish piped up, "Excuse me, but I’m thirsty." "Then you must be a fool," then tuna said. And with a disdainful flick of his tail, he swam away. The little fish did feel rather foolish, but he had his orders. The next fish he saw was a grinning shark. Keeping a safe distance, the little fish called out, "Excuse me, sir, but I’m thirsty." "Then you must be crazy," the shark replied. Noticing a rather hungry look in the shark’s eye, the little fish swam away quickly.

All day he met cod and mackerels and swordfish and groupers, but every time he made his short speech, they turned their backs and would have nothing to do with him. Feeling hopelessly confused, the little fish sought out the wisest creature in the sea, who happened to be an old blue whale with three harpoon scars on his side. "Excuse me, but I’m thirsty!" the little fish shouted, wondering if the old whale could even see him, he was such a tiny speck. But the wise one stopped in his tracks. "You’ve seen God, haven’t you?" he said. "How did you know?" "Because I was thirsty once, too." The old whale laughed. The little fish looked very surprised. "Please tell me what this message from God means," he implored. "It means that we are looking for Him in the wrong places," the old whale explained. "We look high and low for God, but somehow He’s not there. So we blame Him and tell ourselves that He must have forgotten us. Or else we decide that He left a long time ago, if He was ever around." "How strange," the little fish said, "to miss what is everywhere." "Very strange," the old whale agreed. "Doesn’t it remind you of fish who say they’re thirsty?"

The old adage that babies are born with a clean slate, just waiting to be filled in by environmental stimuli, has been proved wrong time and time again. Infant language researchers believe that babies are born with a genetic aptitude for language. Studies have shown that mere hours after birth, a newborn can distinguish his mother's voice from that of another woman. At around four months of age, a baby smiles and recognizes his name. Babies only eight to nine months old can remember words from a story or a simple piece of music they have heard previously. By the time they say their first words around one year of age, children can understand hundreds more words; and once the language spigot is opened, the flow continues.

Yet, communication takes place long before a child speaks his first word. Mothers have learned to distinguish a "hunger" cry from an "I'm lonely, please pick me up" wail. A baby responds to his mother's voice with eye contact, coos, and gurgles, waving arms and legs, subtle body language, then not-so-subtle smiles and cries. A scolding or encouraging tone has come to mean everything, even before the words make sense.

Asking For Trouble: Mourinho gestures during Inter's match against Sampdoria

Inter boss guilty of controversial handcuffs gesture
MILAN: Inter Milan manager Jose Mourinho has been given a three-match ban and fined €40,000 (RM185,000) following his handcuffs gesture during a Serie A match against Sampdoria at San Siro last Saturday which ended in a 0-0 draw.

Inter defenders Walter Samuel and Ivan Cordoba both saw red in the match which promoting Mourinho to cross his arms in a gesture that interpreted as his way of suggesting his side were being victimised by officials.

The sanction was imposed by Lega Calcio, who stated it was because Mourinho "repeatedly challenged the officials, especially by mimicking handcuffs with his wrists and arms crossed, and faced the crowds and television cameras... Also, he insulted the referee and his assistants in the tunnel and also repeatedly insulted officials."

The moral of the incident is we should always be careful of any gestures we made in order to avoid trouble.
