Where's My GPS: Mean What You Say Say What You Mean

I never asked to be a teacher I just kind of became one thru life experience and I am still learning how to deal with the responsibility, I mean I just liked learning a lot which has afforded me the ability to see things differently than most. So I took it as my response ability to share because it is not enough to just know. Everyone knows that since our youth we were told to say what we mean and me what we say yet. I know people and I am sure you do to that say what they think people want to hear and have no intention of taking what they say with importance.

What is the real impact of this behavior? Well that will depend a couple factors

The value of the relationship because if you don't value of the relationship then u won't value the words in it either.

Do you have the courage to face fact when u look in the mirror and realize that the words your are hearing might be true?

What are your values about what other people say and listening to what they have to say ?

So my real question is why bother dealing with the individuals who you do not have the common courtesy to say thanks but no thanks to insights ?

From personal experience I am different in the sense I do listen to everything everyone has to say and it is clear that I may or may not use there insights and I still have productive relationships with them. It is unfair to the person who cares about you to just agree to agree and choose a different action it that makes what they have to say seem worthless and unvalued.

That is coming from someone who cares. I think that is the hardest part of teaching is seeing more in someone than they do. I wrote this so people could know what it feels like from the other side of the picture so often we are inside our own heads battling it out dealing with and living in situations that are really much simpler than we make them. So when we here things that question our overly complex assessment of the situation then we blow it off. Well if the person teaching you cares about you.

You blow them off as well
