You Don’t Understand Me

You Don’t Understand Me

“When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness

was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what

I wanted to be, when I grew up. I wrote down ‘happy’. They

told me I didn’t understand the assignment, and I told

them they didn’t understand me.”

John Lennon, English Musician, Singer, Songwriter,

Founding Member of the Beatles

As I see it . . . . . . .

You don’t understand me

If I make you comfortable being in my presents . . . . you will communicate with me and understand me.

If I ask you questions . . . . you will tell me.

If I listen . . . . I will hear you.

If I hear you . . . . I will understand you.

If I make you feel important . . . . you will like being in my company.

You don’t understand me . . . . is deeply rooted in poor commutations.

Poor communication . . . . becomes a bi-product of not proactively listening to the person who is speaking.

You don’t understand me is at the root of close to 70% of all the divorces in the country. And a major factor of broken relationship in business and lost business opportunities.

You don’t understand me . . . . is slippery path downhill . . . . Listen to what a person is telling you . . . . and you will hear what it will take to build a strong relationship with the person and do business with them.
