Bridging the Gap Through Language


As communication creeps on the terrain under our feet, the need for global language is inevitable. It must be understood by people everywhere. There is a language which is highly recognized around the world. English. Yes, it is.
"Developing excellent communication skills is absolutely essential to effective leadership. The leader must be able to share knowledge and ideas to transmit a sense of urgency and enthusiasm to others. If a leader can't get a message across clearly and motivate others to act on it, then having a message doesn't even matter." A quote from Gilbert Amelio. Before we could develop a skill, specifically on communication, we need to learn the language first.
Good communication is a primary factor on the success of a transaction. It is an important ingredient not only in business but also in terms of relationships around the world.
It estimated that more than 1 billion people speak the English language whether as a native language, or as foreign/secondary one. It has also become a language used by the majority of the countries today.
To make communication really global, we have to let the English language slither into our veins. We must practice the use of it every single day. Thus, number of mis-translations will be reduced. Communications between variety of culturees will be easier.
"English is the only language used in international air traffic control and is virtually the only language of a whole range of other activities from scientific research to pop music."
English might not be the bet of all tongues, but it sure is the best. So, hand in hand let’s make  communication be effective by utilizing and developing the English Language in our daily lives.
