Point of View

Here is my stubbornness at work:(I don't mean this in a negative way, it's more of an inside look on my perspective.)

I believe that if I mean for something to be in a good way, you can't possibly understand it what I mean or how I mean it, until you have received what I am saying in "a good way". Don't tell me you know what I'm talking about, but you still think it was bad thing or you've taken it in a bad way. It doesn't make sense you would be disagreeing with yourself. Stop it! And don't lie to me, don't tell me you agree and that you think it's a good thing or that you've taken it in a good way if you don't think that. I don't want to hear that. If you disagree I want to make you understand, let me reword it or explain it another way that you would understand. I don't mean to be so stubborn in this way, but if I think you are lying and your not, you better get another way to tell me that you agree, because I will automatically start telling you in other words, or in a different explanation.

That is part of the reason why I am known for arguing with teachers in high school so much. The other reason why I argued so much is because I like to understand better, ummm... more completely. I think that you just need to ask the right questions to find out what you want to know. For me, finding those questions, is sort of like hit or miss, or maybe it's more like trial and error. That's it, trial and error, try another question, and again. Occasionally, throw in a couple of my points of view (currently) so that they can asses what they have made me understand, then reorganize themselves to better explain to me what I need to know (in the future). Or maybe they will change their tactics according to what I've told them. It's sort of like a game, but it's a long and tedious process. I am sorry that it seemed to tick the teachers off, I don't think they would've been so mad if time wasn't an issue. I just don't think they enjoyed me taking up class time to look at aspects they took for granted, but that the rest of us (mostly me though) wanted to know.

And just for your information, I realized that the teachers I argued the most with, were the ones I liked the most. Geometry teacher: a little, he was a very good teacher, but that's all I like him for really. My Algebra II and Pre-Calc (same) teacher: I liked her a lot. Pretty much all of my high school English teachers were great. Only one I didn't really like that much (that I argued with): the Spanish teacher. That is all for today's insight.
