Communication Quote by Jim Rohn

“You cannot speak that which you do not know. You…” quote by Jim Rohn — Download Open image

“You cannot speak that which you do not know. You cannot share that which you do not feel. You cannot translate that which you do not have. And you cannot give that which you do not possess. To give it and to share it, and for it to be effective, you first need to have it. Good communication starts with good preparation.”
