Colleagues at work




Hello,
I did this for my new classmates and I just found it right to do same for my colleagues at work.

I have not really known all of them for long but these few months with them have been a BLAST

She is a fun of cultural dances and has a keen interest in languages: both foreign and local. She was born in February and her favourite colour is black because to her, it’s cool and classy. Her character can be identified with a rabbit and her favourite line is 
                                                                 "don't just try me"

Our words

                                                                                                        







Today I learnt one of the greatest lessons in life; that our words carry a lot of power. I said I wouldn’t make it to work last week Friday because I will call in sick and I fell ill Thursday night and couldn’t make it to work the next day. Few weeks ago, I did some studies on communication and I tried to understand it from different angles. Here are a few pointers I got that I want to share with you:
Our words don’t always mean what we want to express
Our words are sometimes heavier than what we really mean
Our words mean a lot depending on the tone and the gestures that come with it
Our words either confuse the listener or the reader
Our words mean a lot when said slowly than when said in a rush.
I will share more with you later
