Week 4 #3
In chapter 10, it mentions " Message plan", which is " Mental representations of action sequence that may be used to achieve goals." ( P 129), ( Griffin, E 2008 ). If you want to catch your communication goal, you must make message plan in your mind to communicate others. In our routine life, some people are easy to achieve their communication goal. At the first, they catch others` attention by showing their friendly manner. The others feel warm from the people and like to open their " doors" to communicate with the people. And then, the people organize their ideas step by step to let the others understand easily. On the other hand, if a person is nervous or having other problems, he/ she performs himself/herself in cool manner. The others withdraw from him/her, and don`t want to communicate with him/her. In this case, even though he/she has excellent ideas, he/she can`t communicate the ideas to others. The ideas are only in his/her mind. Therefore, " message plan" is imptant in communication.

Its always extremely frustrating to be that nervous person who can't communicate what they want to say effectively, therefor ruining your own message plan. I know one thing I always try to do when acting upon my message plan is go over it a few times in my head first if I am familiar with the person I'll be communicating with. If I'm not familiar with the person, then its tough luck : )
