有時人們發送模糊的信息是因為他們在趕時間,可能是匆匆地發了一條簡訊,或者在往機場的路上留下了語音信箱。但如果收件人不知道全部情况,一個簡短的消息經常閱讀起來像猜謎語,他會迷惑、恐懼。要知道,如果你給同事發了一封深夜郵件,上面寫著“我們需要交談”,沒有進一步解釋,這可能引發無益的聯想。你的同事可能會想:有問題嗎?我做了什麼?她會責備我嗎?這可能會給你的同事或是你帶來精神壓力,這對你第二天要處理他們的壓力是不健康的。花額外的時間讓你的資訊清楚。在你發送信息之前,問問自己對方如何解釋你的信息或文字。如果你認為這會使他們感到苦惱,那就提供更多相關的內容。
Sometimes
people send vague message because they are in a hurry, perhaps by sending a message in hurry, or by leaving a voicemail on the way to the
airport.
But
if the recipient does not know all the whole story and
a short message often read like riddles, he will be confused and frightened. You know, if you send a late-night email to a colleague, saying,
“We need to talk”,
without further explanation, this may lead to unhelpful associations. Your colleague may wonder: is there a problem? What did I do? Will
she blame me? This may put stress to your colleague or you, and it’s unhealthy for you to deal with such stress the next day.
Take extra time to make your message clear. Before you send a
message, ask yourself how your message will be interpreted. If you think this is going to cause them distress, then
provide more relevant content.
