Importance of Communicating and Clarifying Your Intentions

Napakahalaga ng malinaw na komunikasyon at pagpapahayag ng intensyon, lalo na sa mga relasyon—personal man o propesyonal.

Kapag malinaw ang intensyon, iiwasan ang misinterpretation at maiintindihan ng kausap ang tunay mong layunin.Ito’y nagbibigay-daan para sa mas maayos na pag-uusap at pagresolba ng anumang isyu.

Halimbawa, kung gusto mong tumulong pero hindi malinaw ang pagkakasabi, maaaring isipin ng iba na may hidden agenda ka. Ang pagiging prangka at bukas sa iyong layunin ay nagtataguyod ng tiwala at respeto.

In short: “Kung ano ang gusto mong mangyari, sabihin mo nang malinaw.”

How to Clarify Your Intentions

1. Think First: Before you say anything, take a moment to think about what you really want or need.
2. Use Simple Words: Say what you mean using simple and easy-to-understand words.
3. Be Specific: Instead of saying something general, be specific about what you want. For example, instead of saying “Help me with this,” you can say “Help me put these books on the shelf.”
4. Repeat If Needed: If someone doesn’t understand the first time, don’t be afraid to say it again in a different way.
5. Check Understanding: Ask the other person to repeat what you said in their own words to make sure they understood you.

Benefits of Clarifying Your Intentions

1. Avoid Confusion: When people know exactly what you want, they don’t get mixed up or misunderstand what you’re saying.
2. Build Trust: When you are clear about what you want, people feel more comfortable and trust you more because they know you’re honest and straightforward.
3. Better Results: When you clearly say what you want, it’s easier for others to help you or work with you to achieve that goal.
4. Prevent Mistakes: Clear intentions help avoid mistakes because everyone knows exactly what to do.

See you next round!
