Body
Talk!
We
all have our distinct body language, but very few of us emerge
winners in that game. Body language maybe defined, as nonverbal
cues that we give to others while communicating.
There
are more number of negatives than positives. We have given a list
of interpretations, which you must not adopt artificially, but
recognise and avoid the negatives. If you are prone to make some
of these mistakes, consciously remove them so that you don't fumble
in the future.
