Becoming a more responsile communicator....

The section I want to talk more in depth about is the section titled "Becoming a More Responsible Communicator." I really enjoyed reading this section because it is something I pride myself on as an individual. Not only do I enjoy taking responsibility for things I say and/or do, but I also look at it from a growing stand point. If you are able to sit back and ask yourself the three questions (1. Am I personally proud of this action? 2. Am I comfortable with this decision? 3. Would I feel uncomfortable or embarrassed if this decision were known to my colleagues, friends, spouse or children?) than it really says a lot about who you are, you are able to respond to your own actions and learn and grow from them. You grow on a personal level as well on a relationship level. Because I also find that if you are able to realize those three things on what you say, relationships tend to be a lot better because your not playing verbal games in a sense. One thing I feel I do not follow too much is the four way test. I would like to follow it all the time however in some situations it is just hard.
