CLASSMATES SPEAK ABOUT IT... week 4

CEDRIC SAYS...
“Certain things in life are better done in person.” When you want to get a feel for the other person or you want to use your personal powers of persuasion, there is nothing like being face to face with your target audience. Why do people pay so much to see motivational speakers in person? It is because they want to feel the energy of the speaker and that can only done in person. Sure, movies and videos can convey emotions such as happiness or sadness but they cannot take the place of an in person appearance. When you think about almost any type of negations it is done face to face. From government officials of one country to another negotiate climate change or union negotiators negotiating with management over contract issues. Face to face meetings are powerful.

After reading your comment I must agree with "certain things in life are better done in person", it is part of being educated. After this experience and especially these last few classes I must say that I needed to be in person to ask questions and get a feel of what was required of me. I am read the words by our professor and I become very confused and uncertain on how to complete certain task. Perhaps if I were able to negotiate and discuss with the professors face to face I may not have been so easy to get frustrated and give up. By emailing and having to wit for a response I got stuck and had no where to turn so I reached my saturation point and couldn't give anymore. So yes I agree some things are better left to personal meetings... I think of others not so personal, a break up, firing from a job and message to let someone know that you are proud of them are great reasons to be face to face!
