Introduction
    One of the most essential skills of life is to learn how to be able to communicate efficiently. As communication is described as the transference of information from one person to another in order to create better understanding, it can be through ve
al interactions, written media such as books, magazines, newspapers and websites, through visual exchanges like maps, charts and graphs. Also, it can be done non-ve
al interactions as well, for example through body language, tone, gestures and so on. These means of communications skills are really effective for both our personal and professional lives and in order to achieve the efficiency in the communication skills, there are some ba

Expressing different feelings is really important, whether it is of love or hatred, happiness or sadness, anger or fear and many more. For instance, if I love someone, then I must express my feelings of love for the other person. This is how the other person can reciprocate towards the feelings otherwise he or she will remain unknown towards it. Same goes for the feeling of hatred, for example if I hate something or somebody and keep it within myself and try to convince in order to like it against my better judgements, then I will never get away from negativity and it will start distu
