This document discusses communication as an art and provides examples of effective communication. It notes that communication was perfect between the author and their mother from infancy. As a child, the author's teachers and father understood them without words through gestures and actions. The document advocates communicating more during difficult times and focusing on shared goals and values to strengthen relationships and overcome challenges together. It emphasizes that true communication requires the presence of both parties working to achieve success as a team.
