Advice and recommendations can be wrong and dumb. We have tons of them online.
Another funny statement: Read between the lines. Isn't this encouraging to assume versus clarity!
There is a difference between feedback, comments, suggestions and order.
Feedback is seeing what others see of you, it is about them not you. Feedback cannot be wrong. Comments are the opinions of others about you. Comments can be wrong or correct.
Depending on what you wanna do with the knowledge, knowing a bit can be worse than knowing nothing at all, specially if it makes you THINK you know enough.
If the purpose of educating yourself on different subjects is to understand them better and being able to ask smarter questions, then it is good. But if the purpose is to act as if you know, then it's worse than knowing nothing at all.
When remembering the Love languages: words of affirmation, quality time, receiving gifts, acts of service, and physical touch. Keep in mind only 1 of the 5 options is Gift, have ever asked what their preference is among the following 3 gifts? 1. Gift, 2. cash or gift certificates, or 3. spending time together, doing what they wish. Please do not make assumptions on what they will prefer, simply ask.
What is a gift? and are we doing it right? Are we choosing the gifts and giving them at the right time? How do we change now?
At times when you offer free help, it is thought you expect something back or there is something wrong. Sometimes we appreciate it after it's gone. And then again miss appreciating what we have.
When helping others make sure to have no expectation or simply clarify what you expect back, otherwise you leave yourself open for disappointment.
It is said if you are not feeling well, go help someone. Yes, helping others make you feel better.
Gratitude:
1. When we help someone, do we expect gratitude and what does that look like? Financially, verbally, payback of a type, or none
2. When we receive help, do we express our gratitude and how it looks like? Financially, verbally, pay back or none?
3. Being grateful for what we have in life and not unappreciative sine we don't have some stuff.
We listen in order to;
1. Help out (as a Consultant or Technician).
2. Get help.
3. Have a conversation/Debate.
4. Listening to music or entertainment/movies.
Questions should be open ended, not a "yes or no'' and should be unbiased. Question things and do not seek agreement or a certain answer.
The more opinionated and the more ways to identity yourself, the more rigid you are and easier to be attacked and offended.
