Hi all
For the record I started writing this post @ 19H23 tonight (South African time). Written online in real time with Electrotech Online. No saved Word documents here for me. I just want to see how long it really takes me to express my thoughts and all.
Okay, with the timing going....here I go.
It appears to me that it is very important to make yourself VERY clear when doing any explaining these days. Like someone asks you a question about something Technical or otherwise.
Maybe like making really SURE they understand what you explained to them. Kind of like "please tell me what I just explained to you..do you really understand?? If you are not sure please ask me now".
Maybe, I am unusual...but I have always made 100% sure that I understand what is being told to me, lectured to me or advised to me. Whether I accept or ignore the advise willingly given to me ...is my choice. I make sure I have heard and understood the facts. And this is the important part....
With the attitude I have I really have problems with people I advise with facts. This is the way it WILL work I say. I know because I have physically done it. Simple.
Nevertheless...this is not aimed at anybody here. Just an expression of my frustration with people in general who ask for advise...and the don't heed the reliable advise given. Because they neither want nor understand it...
You see, years ago, when I first started working for the largest TV Repair company in South Africa...my attitude was this: "My head is like a sponge....all I want to do is learn and absorb all I can"...and I did and still do.
I started off as a mere driver who was not supposed to fix TV's.
And ended up as Branch Manager who ran one of the most successful branches in the country..
Thank you for reading this guys,
Off my chest and happy now
Love the lot of you
