Been thinking through an incident that happened late last week, and I realised that I have made a mistake that I wouldn't want.
I listened, but I did not hear — again. I guessed I was too focused on finding physical solutions.
Empathy… empathy… empathy…
Next time! Lol…
Anyway, on another topic. Have you been in a situation where, you needed some form of help, and you desired/expected someone to help, but ended up being saved by an unexpected someone else? Should be quite common.
"Unexpected". Is that really the case, or is it you just fail to recognise that the "unexpected" is always there? Maybe. And since it is "unexpected", you have never really take notice, but that "unexpected" has always been around. Oh well.
Maybe it's really "unexpected", but who knows. Maybe, it's better to feel "unexpected" rather than to be disappointed with an "expected".
Maybe that's the way I work too. I don't like to expect things, because usually it has a high possibility of going the other way. I expected the weather to be sunny, but it turned out stormy. I expected the class to be at least gendered balanced, but it ended up having more guys. I expected people to do things without reminding, but I ended up forgetting them myself due to the long and usually hopeless waiting period for response. I expected some person to be waiting, but, fat hope.
And so, over the years, I ended up expecting less. No, I try not to expect the unexpected. No point. I see how. That is able to train me in immediate response. If people ps me, I will just go somewhere or find someone else. If people ignore me on msn, I will just talk to another person (there's no way you can really know how true is the delayed response anyway).
Immediate response means increased flexibility, which leads to additional creativity and ideas. I have been running out of ideas over the past few years. I need more ideas.
And so, I do not expect anything from anyone, and vice versa, for now. Heh. It's better that way, for now. Wahaha…
