COMMUNICATING SCIENCE

To know wisdom and instruction, perceive the words of understanding, and receive the instruction of wisdom gives us knowledge and discretion. Being able to communicate in a way to make this happen, however, is not always easy. Montgomery states his opinion on the importance of attitude, and stresses the importance of being confident and knowledgeable in the topic of which one is communicating. I agree with this and also agree with his idea that we need to be aware of the audience to whom we are addressing. This will give us power in our words. We need to have firm control over what we say and what we communicate. We need to do so, however, with a couple different methods. Elucidating, comparing, and using quasi-scientific explanations aid in the process of communicating more clearly. It is wise to have flexibility in our language. How we explain things to each other should not be limited. A wise individual will hear, and will increase in learning. For this reason, being a well prepared speaker will allow your audience to benefit from the words you are speaking. Good explanations will result in good understanding.
