WATCH: A contractor destroys a newly developed building because of an unpaid bill

If we look back at many disagreements, arguments, even wars, it all stems from the fact that many people haven't been able to communicate effectively with one another. Whether you are learned or not, we all have experienced miscommunication in one way or the other.
