最近，當我爸爸於一個 International Trade 的 discussion forum 發表時，看到不少爭執或辯論，所以他於這 forum 登了以下的溝通指引，我覺得於本網站也一樣有用，不論是新會員或 experienced members 都值得參考：
Three Rules for Effective Communication (written by my father)
To achieve really effective communication, we need to observe three "difficult to observe" rules:
Rule No. 1
Encourage people to disagree with you so that all of us can go deeper into the issues and learn from one and other.
Rule No. 2
Even if you strongly disagree, you have to respect other's right to think and act differently.
Rule No. 3
Admit your mistake without delay, openly and sincerely. No defense of any kind.
Most people cannot observe these three rules, particularly when they become an expert. I use these three rules in my workshop. People respect us more for this. I heard one lady client, an American lady said: "T. O. [my father initials] I respect you more because you admit openly when you are wrong!"
Hope everybody can do this, but it would take a lot of courage. If you are confident about yourself, there should be no problem to admit mistakes, because no one is perfect.
彼此學習及交流心得
，以 teamwork 
來作出最可行的建議。
