Summary

This quote highlights the common misconception that communication is successful simply because information has been exchanged. In reality, effective communication involves not only transmitting a message, but also ensuring that it is understood and received accurately by the recipient. This means actively seeking feedback, clarifying misunderstandings, and using clear, concise language. People often assume that communication is complete once they have spoken or written something, failing to consider the potential barriers that hinder true understanding. Therefore, this quote emphasizes the importance of recognizing and addressing these barriers to avoid the illusion of effective communication.
