This week we had a guest speaker and one of the things that she talked about that stuck out to me was 7% of a conversation is the actual words we use. I think that is so true when I think about when I talk to my brother he always gives me attitude when I ask him to do something for me. I always try to be polite about it and say please and thank you but maybe its the tone of my voice or my body language.
Excellent point and application to your own life! We'll spend quite a bit of time on this in Chapter 6, Nonverbal Communication.

Yes! This stuck out to me as well! I always thought that our conversations were mainly about what we say, not much about our non-verbals. Now, after I learned this I made it a new task for my self to be more aware of my body language when it comes to my conversations. I Also think this is true because in the past I have asked my brother to do something for me and he gave me attitude as well.
