fractional slacker Posted March 9, 2013 Posted March 9, 2013 I recently listened to podcast 998, and I have to say that was one of greatest examples of patience I have ever witnessed. The discrepancy in word quantity is unmistakable. That in of itself would doom (frustrate) the patience of the average conversationalist. Moreover, the power of the "whirlwind" to conjour up vast amounts of steam, sand storms, clouds and chunks of fog in an attempt to derail or deny certain points would wipe out any but the most steadfast of patient personalities. If the Olympics had patience as a sport, that would have been gold medal worthy. I am marking 998 down for further review because it is a great teaching tool in my opinion for those, like me, who want to improve their patience skills.
Bardan Posted March 12, 2013 Posted March 12, 2013 Truely, this guy does have the gift of the gab. It's damn swift. That's part of what gives him away though. But it's slick stuff. Must have honed it as a protection for himself from hostiles but also as a pardon for hostiles in his life who he was unable to leave. I agree, it's an impressive standard Stef demonstrated. To be able to identify and express the crux of the fellow's issue while such strong interferrence is running! That's a great qualification of a helper. And being able to do more than that I think is pointless because a person needs to want to be helped. That was 2008. I wonder what became of Erin? ** FDR 998 ** - 998 Surrendering To The Whirlwind... - Sun, 2 Mar 2008 02:00:00 GMT - The first listener convo that ends up exactly where it began...
