Find your own communication style....

Fellow campers, how is your day in the camp? We still committed to ‘watch’ our communications manner in Say No Evil Boot Camp. Hope you have built a new habit of no lies, no flowery speech and no harsh speech!

Below I got a game in regards of our communication style… this game is a Kokology. How to play it? You only have to read the statement, and answer the question that come first in your mind. Don’t think too long… the spontaneous will lead us the more accurate assessment.

Let's do it...!

A Painting in a Museum

Once in a while it is good for us to pause for a moment from our tight schedules and enjoy the art right from its place. Some of us go to a music concert, some dance or play music instruments, and the other make handy crafts… how about going to the museum…?

Now you stand in front of a painting in the art museum, with your arms behind your back you try to enjoy the painting. Suddenly a stranger approaches you and says something to you. What does he say?

1. It’s a beautiful painting, isn’t it?
2. What’s your opinion of this painting?
3. Sorry, do you have time?
4. Do you know, I also a painter/ an artist.

---------that's the end-------- decide your answer now, the first one that come across your mind------

The keys:

When a stranger suddenly talk to you, there’s always a sympathy and hope. In this scenario, what the stranger says to you is actually describe how you will react when you meet somebody. The answer portrays what kind of impression you make when you meet someone for the first time.

1. It’s a beautiful painting, isn’t it?
   

A natural friendly attitude creates a good first impression in every person you have met. The only nervousness is when other do not respond seriously to you for the first time.

2. What’s your opinion of this painting?
   

You are a type of person who likes to guess other’s temperament before you do something. Other can feel that hesitation. May be it will affect their reactions towards you. You will not offend other people with your cautious approach but may be in the end you will live in such conditions that was set by others.

3. Sorry, do you have time?
   

Half of your world seems to be normal, but the other half seems to be a little bit weird. You create a first impression that you live in your own path and retain an individualism that is eccentric for some people. You don’t really care what others may think or feel. Like it or not, it is your mystery.

4. Do you know, I also a painter/ an artist.
   

When you meet someone for the first time, you will be a little bit nervous and awkward. May be you only try too hard to be liked. But the harder you try, the worse impression you have made. Don’t be too worry to make others think you are great. You don’t need to make a flowery speech to impress others. They will like you more if you are relax and not strained.

What do you think?

Let's play Kokology together

I buy a book about Kokology today and have an idea to share one or two stories here... Why don't we play together? Ok, let's do it... here's the rule, first you read the short article below and you will be asked to answer a question by choosing 1 of 4 answers. Don't think too long... the right answer must be the first answer comes to your mind. ok? Don't cheat.

I try to translate it in daily language... this is about magazine

You just bought a weekly popular magazine and you brought it home to read. How do you read it?

1. Read all the content in sequence, from page one to end.

2. You directly read your favorite article you knew would be interesting and only read that article. (you don't read the rest)

3. Open the magazine randomly and read whatever interest you.

4. As long as the magazine's format doesn't change, you read it in the same sequence just like you always do. (may be you usually read recipe first, then travel tips... automotive reviews...)

-----so what is your answer? -------
(actually I am getting worried not translate it good enough for you to understand! hahaha)

Got the answer? ok... here's the key... just don't forget to leave me a comment about your answer.. promise me!

Weekly magazine represents a team work from many writers, designers, photographer and editor, which offer us various opinions and point of views. Weekly magazine is a collection of people's experiences. The way you read magazine shows how to face variety of choice. Specifically, the way you plan to read show your approach in organizing resources, including money.

1. Read all the content in sequence, from page one to end.

You are a type of person who know exactly where and what for each cent of your money goes. Not because you are too worry about budget or financial plan, you just feel comfort when you know clearly about everything. You don't like to be out of control so you organize your account regularly and know exactly the amount, including its interest.

2. You directly read your favorite article you knew would be interesting and only read that article. (you don't read the rest)

Money makes a hole in your pocket! Whenever you have money you use it to buy anything you like. May be I will save some amount of money next month, this is what you say when you spend all of your money. If you finally manage to save it, it's not peculiar if you keep coming back to ATM and take your money to buy something you want.

3. Open the magazine randomly and read whatever interest you.

You said that you are economic. Some says you are stingy. In fact, you don't use your resource carelessly. You better save it for you future. You never tempted to use your money as you wish or spend much money with your credit cards, but occasionally you treat yourself with something you like. Anyway, you still have enough money in your savings.

4. As long as the magazine's format doesn't change, you read it in the same sequence just like you always do. (may be you usually read recipe first, then travel tips... automotive reviews...)

You keep on spending your money habitually, and don't care about changes that may happen in your life. If you win a lottery, it will be hard for you to stop shopping in discount store. Or else, if you are bankrupt, you might insist in buying branded shirt. You are not worry about your future. In this case, it's a good idea if you give this financial issue to your spouse to organize your budget.

arrrgh... it's tiring to translate all that words! Hm... if I don't find some comments in this post, it means my readers don't understand my translations... *grin* will not do it again unless I get some good responds... *wink*

ps. Kokology is writen by Tadahiko Nagao and Isamu Saito
