I was watching TED talks for breakfast and found one by a scientist who was looking into understanding others peoples minds. She introduced the presentation with the following sentence that has gotten directly into my heart:
I know you think you understand what you thought I said but I am not sure you realize what you heard is not what I meant. (Alan Greenspan)
It´s good to keep smth like that on mind when we are talking to each other. I am that kind of talker who is able to say things in one sentence (ok in few). I have no need to talk a lot though I have learnt that one sentence (perfectly understandable to me) is not enough for all the people listening to me. So I put some effort into my performance and try to use more words and sentences bringing more details into the daylight. Keeping the quotation on my mind, I think I will have more fun developing what I want to say when trying to deliver a message.
Thanks for the tip on the great video
Thats a really nice quote you have found! I like it a lot…
