What's Wrong with the Communication?

I've said this to many people.

It's our responsibility to ensure people interpret what we said correctly. We can't always blame people for misunderstanding what we said, because a same sentence can be interpreted in a thousand ways by a thousand different people.

Before you would say "oh you misunderstand me", please make sure people understand you.

If misunderstanding happens again and again, then the problem is with the person who says, not the person who listens.

Unfortunately, when problem occurs, most people would not accept and admit the problem is with themselves, and tend to point the finger at others.
