I have realized the power of my words more and more. Sometimes I say things that I could later kick myself for. But they are the method we use to communicate.

In 3D we have the advantage of our senses.....According to this book I've read, there are three parts of a message.

Visual cues contribute 55% to the overall message. Our tone of voice contributed 38% to the overall message. Verbal words contribute only 7% to our overall message.

And when you stop to consider that in an environment such as a forum...we really only have our words........aarrgghh!!

When I reply to a post I often spend a lot of time laboring over the right words to use...and even then it sometimes backfires! The only thing I know to do is to keep on learning and keep on talking.

I'm interested in what others here have to contribute to this issue?
