I used to believe I could make anyone understand anything and vice versa. To do that I need only time and patience. But I realized this has limits, there are certain aspects which are very difficult to articulate. For instance, a kid reads M and W as M only, because the mind is validating character from all directions, so if you move W upside down it looks like M. It’s impossible for a kid to describe it.
I used to mix several characters while writing in cursive style, like a&o, r&s, u&v. If I write slowly or with focus then no mistakes. Today I understand why I was doing that, because I was giving preference to chains of thoughts and less focus on style of writing. For so many years I was scolded for bad writing, only if I could understand why I was behaving like that.
This understanding of limitation was realized by me when I was doing group exercise and sucks at snatches, at same time killing rowing. After months of exercise I understood what the problem was. Now I can explain, before that I had only words to say, I can’t do it, you can’t understand.
When someone says you can’t understand then respect that, don’t consider them stupid and help in articulating what they are feeling. On the opposite side, give effort to explain your thoughts, it’s ok to share your limitation, it will only make you stronger.
