Chapter – 4
Creating and Using Meaning
If we speak something then we assume that the receiver have understand the message what we actually mean to say him/her. But sometimes the message we are saying to the receiver may get it in the wrong sense. As it has happened to me when I was with my friends at Nepal. Once I went to my friends house and I saw her sister who was going to get married but as she was fat, I told her that your stomach is looking so fat and I don’t know in what sense did she take it and from that day she was really angry with me and she never spoke frankly to me as she used to speak me before. And when I asked my friend later about that case than I came to know that she took it negatively by thinking that I told her that she was looking as pregnant and I said what?.
So, by this lesson I came to knew that we really have to think before saying anything and we should make it clear that the receiver get the same meaning we want to tell them.
