BRAMPTON: Imagine a building with no windows and then imagine a building with few windows, and finally imagine a building with all its exterior made of glass. Metaphorically speaking, what you just saw was a man with poor communication skills, a man with little wit and then finally, a person with the ability to articulate his feelings and words to leave the best possible impact on the minds of his audience. A building with glass exteriors is aesthetically pleasing to the eyes of the viewer, appears well-ventilated, and also is transparent to some degree. The same goes for a witty person. He or she looks good to the ears of his or her audience, seems to have a clear flow of energy from a source deep inside of him or her, and appears to be open-minded and likable, friendly and gentle.
Beyond doubt, you are the most important person in your life and yet, you don’t live as if you are one because if you truly thought so, why on the earth you would not equip yourself with skills that are life transforming and life affirmative simultaneously?
Wit is the cornerstone of communication
We all know it but no conscious attempt has been made to learn it ever, even though it is one skill which can take you light years ahead of others who are competing with you in an era of limited attention span of the humanity. No one among us can recall an entire conversation in verbatim but at best some bits and pieces of it, which are memorable and invariably always those bits and pieces are nuggets of wit and wisdom.
The art of communication is nothing else but the art to speak less but tell more, and it can only be achieved through the use of wit, to which the wisdom follows as a shadow.
Wit provides the music in the dance of conversation
Trillions of conversations happen every day and if there was a way of recording them all, you would see that most of these conversations are very mindlessly pursued as is evident in their repetitive nature. To recall any conversation, wit serves as an identifier because routine, boring conversations and presentations are tough to recall because ‘too much said is met half-way by too less listened’. Wit is a learnable skill, which is perhaps the one most ignored among all the skills available to a person.
