Something You Should Know · How to Know What Someone is Thinking & The Amazing Success Story of LEGO · 7 Oct 2024 podcast

I'm teaching problems to students.

One problem is that when you're teaching something, you know the answer to it.

Knowing the answer to it means that it seems easier to you.

And if I can't appreciate that, Mike, as my student, you don't know the answer to this math problem, I'm not going to teach you as well as I could.

In a marriage, if you think your spouse, because you're so aware that you're troubled in this relationship and that you are concerned about the way things are going, if because those concerns are so crystal clear to you that you assume that they must also be crystal clear to your partner,

Well, then you're going to be upset when they don't seem to be as concerned about this thing as you think they should be.

It creates conflict between two people and makes it hard to coordinate.

If I really knew what was on your mind, Mike, then you and I could cooperate.

We could work together.

uh perfectly well because i'd i'd know i know what was on your mind before you you did something um not really knowing and misunderstanding what's on the mind of another creates needless conflict and friction

Sometimes this is true.

So when you and I actually get time to interact with each other, then we do course correct.

Then I'm paying attention to your behavior.

I'm watching what you do.

I'm learning.

And indeed, spending time with each other in conversation helps to correct our misunderstanding.

But a lot of social life doesn't involve that kind of rich interaction.

We're not actually meeting each other.

Maybe I'm teaching you online.

Or, I mean, think about how often you sit face to face with somebody else versus texting to them, right?
