Two men walk out of a building...

Mike: What did you think of that meeting

Dan: Seems like there is a lot of work to be done. I'm hoping that it will align the company's strategy with the expected output. It's looks promising. What are you doing over the weekend?

Mike: Having a braai with friends and a few beers

Dan: Me too... enjoy and see you on Monday then?

Mike: Yes you too. See you then



At the very same time two women who were in the same meeting came out of the building as well



Jean: What did you think of that meeting? It was hectic with so many changes coming up don't you think?

Paula: I know what you mean. What did you think of the new manager? I think he will be able to marry up the company's goals and help us see changes in the profits? Besides he is quite cute and if anything he will at least be something to look at...laughter

Jean: I think so but we'll have to wait and see, but what are you doing for the weekend

Paula: I have a list of 20 things that need to be done and as an example ....

Jean: Yes my life seems even crazier over the weekend that I actually need another break from it.



The conversation goes on for 5 more pages ending on



Jean: Have a good one and I'll see you on Monday

Paula: Yes you too. See you then



The moral of this story is that we all have similar concerns, aspirations, goals etc in common but we have different ways of communicating them. Some need less words compared to others. Even so should we not respect the different ways in which we all express oyrselves?
