Fujishin's Passage example essay topic

327 words
A passage from Creating Communication by Randy Fujishin discusses the impact you have on others through what you say and do. I believe that there is much truth Fujishin's passage. When he states: "Your every word and deed can leave an indelible imprint on the minds and hearts of others. Be conscious of your choices as you create messages to others". I fully agree with him.

I believe that what you say people can remember and maybe feel hurt forever. But generally people just forget. While reading Fujishin's passage, I felt compelled to keep reading. I was taken by his descriptive memory from his childhood. The first paragraph to the passage had a negative tone. It stated, that "stinging criticism" and "hurtful act (s) " could remain with you for many years.

I believe that this is most sensitive during childhood and teenage years. As those are the years where the child's life revolves on being taught and a negative experience may cause them to fail at learning. The second paragraph has an uplifting tone, which caused myself to remember my happy childhood memories as he described one of his own. I remember when I was a child just beginning kindergarten.

My Mother always had a special way of waking me up in the morning. She would casually stroll into my bedroom singing, "Lazy bones sleepin' in the sun. When you gonna get your day's work done?" sit on my bed, put her head on my chest and say, "Rise and shine little buttercup". She was the best alarm clock I could ask for. Communication is irreversible. Because whatever you say and do, people have the right to respond.

And how they respond can be controlled by what you say. Therefore, you should always think before you speak or else be prepared for the consequences.
