I like the article, but one thing caught my eye there.
"Right then and there, I said loud, confidently, and clearly so everyone in the room could hear me, “I DON’T UNDERSTAND.”"
I don't understand why this would make people more eager to help you. If I was trying to explain something to someone and they started to raise their voice, I would just get irritated and probably refuse to help anymore. But then again I have to admit that I'm not always the most patient person in the world.
- Latty 11y agoI think you are reading a more hostile tone into that - I read it more as a slow paced, clear 'I. Don't. Understand.' - not shouting in the guy's face - to try and get the point across that they didn't get the core concept, and the explanations being given were not helpful. I could see how that would cause you to shift your attempt to another tack, see more success and therefore the explained scenario.
