Faithful speech means you keep your promises and fulfill your obligations. You must take responsibility for what you say and put every effort into making your communication accurate. Your speech is often the first gauge by which others judge you. It is the quickest way to convey what is in your heart.
Communication requires relationship, where words and ideas are passed from one person to another.
When there is mutual respect and understanding, good communication can take place. Agreement is not required when each person trusts the other's good intentions. The art of listening is as important as the art of speaking. The prerequisite of listening is caring about the other person. Look at the person who is speaking, nod in acknowledgment of their points, have a warm, awaiting facial expression.
