{Learning Everyday}

Everyday there's something to learn.

Recently, I learnt to be very careful with how a point is driven across to another person.

I've been on both ends, both as a misunderstood giver and as misunderstood receiver.

Misunderstood giving happens when what we intend to deliver (in speech) to another person is being received differently from what we intended it to be. The result of it was not so desirable.

Misunderstood receiving happens when what was intended to be delivered to us by another person was received by us differently as they intended it to be. The result was once again, not so desirable.

It takes time to understand a person and trials and errors to know what works and what doesn't. At times we fail and we could fail miserably. But we're never truly defeated until we we stop trying. So get back on our feet and start over, with more care.
