– You should never stop learning new things;
– You can learn a lot from a personal experience;
– In only you may get used to not listen, and thus start making mistakes;
– A lot of people are not used to argument a critical thought;
– After receiving a critical thought, we may be afraid of an argument;
– Prediction – real communication will be made in small circles;
– In one-to-may communication the feedback disappears;
