About This Quote
We often hear people say that they “had no idea” about something that they should have known. It seems to be a common misunderstanding of the way people are shaped. If I’m not doing something right, it is because I have not been listening to what you are saying. If I haven’t been responsive, it is because I haven’t been listening to you.
We are all shaped by our experiences. If you have had enough experience with me, then you won’t need to be responsive to everything that I do.
