Book Review : John C. Maxwell " Everyone
Communicates Few Connect ". What
the Most Effective People Do Differently"
I want to recommend you an interesting book that will
help you discover yourself, but also connect with yourself and those around
you.
When I started reading this book, I understood one thing.
First of all you have to have a connection with yourself then you have to have
a connection with God, and last but not least you have to have a connection
with those around you. But that's what I'll talk about at the end.
The first connection is to know yourself, to know your
dreams, to respect yourself, to love yourself, to let your dreams come true.
Forgive yourself, be better with yourself.
You need to know yourself and see what you like. Listen to
the soul and the heart, more precisely the intuition.
A second connection is the connection with God. It is the
most important relationship in your life. He is our creator, he protects us,
loves us and accepts us as we are. He is everything, he gives us everything,
life, health and death. One day he will judge us by our deeds.
And finally there
is the connection with those around us, family, friends, co-workers and large
groups of people. Here I will talk in more detail. It's something to talk
about. It is a book that you can discover yourself and others around us.
It made me understand better than to connect with others
you have to learn to connect with yourself.
If you want to be successful, you need to learn how to
really communicate with others.
What’s secret? Connecting! If you want to succeed, you
must learn how to connect with others. Connecting is key. If you want to have
an advantage in working with people, you need to learn to connect!
I am convinced
that I can help you to learn to connect with people. The book will teach you
the 5 principles that are functional for
understanding how to connect with people. And the second part, you will
learn five practices that anyone can do to connect with others regardless of
age, experience or natural ability. Learning
to connect with the people can change your life.
If you want to be effective in any area of life, connecting with people, you can
learn to become even better at it. And if you haven’t previously tried with others, you will be astounded by how it can change your life.
Important to start with your attitude. The ability to
connect with others begins with understanding
the value of people.
I needed more than courage to change things –I needed
connecting skills. No matter what your goals are, connecting can help you.
Connecting with
others may not be a matter of life or
death for most of us, but it often is a
matter of success or failure. I think the further along in life we get, the more aware we become of the
importance of connecting with the others. People are eager to connect with
others, and most will do anything they can to feel connected.
If you want to have an advantage in working with the
people, you need to learn to connect.
There is first steps to help you to learn the principles
behind connecting with others:
By focusing on others;
Expanding your connecting vocabulary just words;
Marshalling your energy for connecting;
Gaining insight in how great connectors connect;
Then You will help you acquire the practical skills of
connection:
Finding common
ground
Making your communication simple;
Capturing people’s interest
Inspiring them, and being authentic.
These are things anyone can learn to do.
Connecting is the ability to identify with the people and
relate to them in a way that increase
your influence with them. The number one criteria for advancement and promotion for professionals is an ability to communicate
effectively.
If you concentrated
on two areas: learning to write
and to speak before an audience. Nothing
in life is more important than the ability to communicate effectively. Talent isn’t enough. Experience isn’t enough
to lead others, you must to be able to communicate well,
and connecting is key.
Of course, connecting isn’t just for leaders. It is for
anyone who desires to be more effective at what he or she does or enjoy better
relationship. When you connected with others, you positions yourself to make
most of your skills and talents.
God grant us the serenity to accept the things we can
not change, courage to change the things
we can, and wisdom to know the difference. There were things I
could change but didn’t know how to change. To communicate effectively and to
lead others, you have to take
initiative. You have to be proactive.
This is someone who understands success . I like him. But
there’s more to it than that he really understands me. He knows what I believe.
Understands what I’m thinking. He knows what I feel. He can help me. I would
love to be his friend. I already feel like
he’s my friend. I was trying to
go ahead by correcting others when I should have been trying to connect with others.
Connecting is never about me. It’s about the person with
whom I’m communicating. You are trying
to connect with the people, it’s not about you, it’s about them. Maturity is
the ability to see and act on behalf of
others. Immature people don’t see things from someone else point of view. They rarely
concern themselves with what’s best for others. In many
ways, they act like small children. We recognize that part of the parenting process is helping
children understand that they are not
the center of the universe .
I can tell a lot of about this book, but I prefer to
leave you to discover this interesting book which I recommended for you to read it. You will find things which
you will learn to connect with people and with yourself.
Now, I want to tell you my conclusion about this book,
what can you do with the talent you have ? Whatever is in you can be put to better use
if you learn to connect with the
people. You can learn to increase your
influence in every situation because
connecting is more skill than
natural talent. And you can learn
to do it. So start to taking steps. Embrace the connecting principles. Start using the connecting practices. And do something positive in your corner of the world.
