I struggle with something. And I purposely just showed you what. And maybe that's always how I'll write. Complex ideas are multifactorial. You can have it explained simply or you can have it explained intelligently. But you can't have both ways if you want the most value from either choice of communication style.
I struggle with something. And you might think you're starting to piece together what that is. In my prior career choice, I was much the same and far less good at what I've set out to communicate here. I butted heads with the decision makers because I thought I knew best. I was rarely given evidence as to why they were correct, as I have always been logical and foreseen what they might believe the way to view something is.
I struggle with something. I don't know my IQ, I don't suspect it's much higher than average, but I do know for certain I score well above average in the working memory aspect of it. This is important for decision making as otherwise you cannot see a logical fallacy taking place with all of the ideas or scenarios to be considered, and what weight to give to each, to deliberate the most effective way forward.
I struggle with something. And as I began to write this I thought it might suprise you. But it's changing in my mind as I write, a realisation, a better path forward. You may think by now that it is that I'm communicating I'm not effective at convincing others, due to what needing to be convinced in difficult situations are complex ideas and perspectives others miss due to simple communication being necessary to garner support.
I struggle, having been reminded of an expression recently. And just like the irony of what has been pointed out in the beginning. ...The irony of my weakness needing to become my strength. There is this irony that.. Well here's the expression.
"If you are the smartest person in the room, you are in the wrong room." - Confucius
What I struggle with, is not being in the wrong room it is remembering what I believe is true above all, you are exactly where you need to be at all times. Smartest in the room? Well I don't know, I have felt like I've been in the wrong room my whole life but it's a change in perspective that is more warrented. See, if struggle in communication and with convincing others, than that is what I need more experience at, and what better place than where I am now.
I love irony. Ironically the things, people or situations you don't like are those you can, and should, find a need for, if only you would take the time and consideration for what is on offer.
The struggle is now welcome.
