Learn, Reflect and Retain...

Yes, there are many types of people. I know many types of people. But today I want to write about one type of people. The type that does not have the urge or initiative to learn and if they do learn that morning, they'll forget when evening comes.

I tell you, this type is one of the worst kinds. They'll ask your help, through all kinds of channels ie emails, phone calls, smses, shouting across the room, and you gave them what they wanted, oh yes, they'll thank you. But give them a day or two and they'll email, call, sms or shout to you across the room asking the same question as the day before. And you answered. No, of course, it doesn't end there. It goes on and on, the same thing all over.

You really want to help, because you believe in karma. You help people now, someday they'll return the favour when you most need it. However, you just cannot help but to wonder, why aren't these people learn, reflect and retain? Why the need to go over the same ritual asking help about the same thing over and over? Why are they wasting their wonderful mind and give in to laziness?

I see this pattern prevalent in many people, especially among the people I work with. Yes, it is sad, unfortunately it is very true. The next time this happens, I'll make sure they'll learn and retain what they have learn. It is not for my satisfaction, it is for their own good.
