When I was growing up I had a mom who yelled to get her point across. I learned real fast to act like I was listening but to tune her out. My Dad on the other hand sat us down and talked in a calm but firm respectable voice. He could have me in tears and never raise his voice or a hand to me. Personally even as an adult I would walk away from someone being rude, or aggressively trying to get their view about an issue across to me. I would not get my feelings hurt but I would not respect the person doing this enough to even want to listen to any advice they were giving me. I love learning and I love a good teacher who knows how to teach wisely. I am probably many of your senior but I am never going to get to the point that I am to old to learn. |
