It is not WHAT you say, it is HOW you say it

Riddle me this, or riddle me that. Guess me this riddle or perhaps not.


What is very powerful but potentially dangerous at the same time?

Clues:
- Unsaid suggestions based on actions
- Can be easily misunderstood
- Not completely universal
- Not necessarily planned and can be done unconsciously
- Made up of gestures, eye contact, facial expressions, posture, clothing, space (give away clue really)

Answer:
NON-VERBAL COMMUNICATION


P.S: Cultural differences are an important factor in non-verbal communication. Something simple like shaking hands with your left hand is an offensive form of non-verbal communication in Arabic cultures. Thus, choose your words and actions carefully. 


Examples of non-verbal communication in different cultural contexts


- My Opinion. My Inner Voice. My Thoughts. On a mission to My Purpose.
