Unlocking Success: The Crucial Role of Nonverbal Communication in 2024

For example, in Pakistani culture,  "Laddu Bantna"  is an idiom. Besides literal meanings, it means distributing sweetmeat among people to celebrate an event or festival; it is a ritual in Pakistan. A proverb in Pakistani society such as  "Door k Dhool Suhanay"  states that a distant thing looks good, but when you go near, then you come to know the reality. It is an old saying and guidelines for youth.  Language change can change the thinking pattern of an individual. According to Edward Sapir and Whorf's linguistic determinism hypothesis, "language determines an individual's thought," and l...
