Make Yourself Understood

MAKE YOURSELF UNDERSTOOD.


"It is important that you word your questions with great precision and without presumption." - Douglas Castle   http://aboutDouglasCastle.blogspot.com
---------------

Dear Friends:

Comedian Steven Wright tells a story about walking around his neighborhood wearing socks of two different colors. When a woman asks him, "Do you know that your socks don't match?" he replies, "Sure they do. I don't go by color-- I go by thickness."

Last evening, my wife asked me, "What's the difference between loquacious and garrulous?" I quickly replied, "The spelling."

Of course she had intended to ask, "What is the difference in meaning between loquacious and garrulous?"

The lesson is a simple but important one: The quality and usefulness that you will get in response to a question will be influenced by the way in which you word the question. Imprecisely worded questions lead to misinterpretations, and misinterpretations lead to inefficient and unproductive conversation.

Worded slightly differently: If you ask questions with a high degree of specificity, you greatly increase the probability of your getting answers that are meaningful. You may discuss the implications of this this with any attorney who has gone through the exercise of examining a person on the witness stand.

Faithfully,

Douglas Castle

A STUDENT'S REFLECTIONS ON INTERNAL ENERGY PLUS



CORRECT ME, BUT PRAISE ME AND STRENGTHEN MY MOTIVATION...

LET ME CHOOSE MY COURSE, SET A PLAN, TAKE EACH INCREMENTAL STEP, AND ACHIEVE MY GOAL...

TEACH ME TO LEAD, SO THAT I MAY TEACH OTHERS TO LEAD... I WILL EXPECT THE UNEXPECTED, BUT IT SHALL NOT DEFEAT OR DETER ME FROM MY COURSE...

LET ME BE RAPIDLY ADAPTABLE TO CHANGE, BUT WITHOUT COMPROMISING MY SACRED PRINCIPLES...

LET ME DELIGHT IN MY CONSTANT LEARNING, BUT LET ME ALWAYS BE AWARE OF THE VASTNESS OF THAT WHICH I DO NOT KNOW... LET MY FRIENDSHIPS MULTIPLY, WHILE I ENCOURAGE MY ENEMIES TO DIVIDE AND TO FIGHT EACH OTHER...

I AM A BUILDER, AND NOT A DESTROYER... I AM IN CONTROL OF MY THOUGHTS, MY FEELINGS, AND MY ACTIONS... WHILE THERE ARE PERSONS AND CIRCUMSTANCES BEYOND MY CONTROL, LET ME LEARN TO NAVIGATE MY WAY THROUGH OR AROUND THEM, AND TO UNVEIL THEIR HIDDEN UTILITY FOR MY ADVANTAGE...

LET ME PRACTICE TRUE ALCHEMY -- LET ME TURN MY THOUGHTS INTO TANGIBLE AND MEASURABLE RESULTS... LET MY MIND TEACH MY BODY, AND LET MY BODY TEACH MY MIND...

LET ME BECOME ADEPT AT LEVERAGING THE UNIQUE TALENTS AND ABILITIES OF OTHERS... LET ME BE A GOOD PARTNER AND ASSISTANT WHEN I AM NOT ENGAGED AS A TEAM LEADER... LET THE WAY OF INTERNAL ENERGY PLUS IMPROVE MY LIFE IN ITS EVERY ASPECT EVERY SINGLE DAY...

LET MY CURIOUSITY AND LUST FOR KNOWLEDGE OUTWEIGH MY INHIBITIONS, INERTIA AND MY DOUBTS...

LET MY DESIRE FOR ACHIEVEMENT DRIVE ME ONWARD BEYOND WHERE OTHERS ARE ENSLAVED AND PARALYZED BY THEIR FEARS... LET MY PERSONAL AND PROFESSIONAL SUCCESS SHINE AS A BEACON TO OTHERS, AND TO BE A SOURCE OF ENCOURAGEMENT FOR THEM...

LET ME COMMUNICATE POWERFULLY AND EFFECTIVELY, BUT WITH INTEGRITY AND EMPATHY...

LET ME CONTRIBUTE MY EFFORTS AND ENERGIES TO MY EVER-WIDENING CIRCLE OF INTERNAL ENERGY PLUS FRIENDS AND COLLEAGUES...

LET ME BRING THE BEST OF ALL THAT I AM TO THE COLLECTIVE MIND OF THE GREAT CIRCLE IN ORDER THAT WE MAY TRANSFORM THE DANGEROUS TRAJECTORY OF UNEVOLVED HUMAN PROPENSITIES IN THE DIRECTION OF GOODNESS AND COOPERATION.
