Being friendly is a gift. Not everybody has that. Most often, when you get friendly with people, you get reciprocated. How do the people you get friendly with benefit from that? I get to help, or at lest opt to help them, they feel free around you and talk themselves out, and they also feel happy when they are welcome and there is someone to listen to them.
We all value kind and polite gestures but to various degrees. To some, it is a fortune for them to be treated kindly and they really get to show some appreciation. To some, it is a fortune but they don’;t care about you. They taken it for granted and make it clear to you, directly or indirectly that it is their right to be treated fairly and you have no choice but submit to it.
Surprisingly, some people don’t even care whether they are treated kindly or not. They don’t care whether they are helped or not. They have very short visions and don’t care about what long term endeavors holds for them.
I consider refusal to learn as a very bad habit. Why would someone not care whether he/she knows something or not? Why would someone not go an extra mile to learn something. At times, going an extra mile simply means asking for help, or granti9ng someone the permission to help, or even just being polite to your “teacher”. At our cybercafe (Super Fast Internet), you meet all sorts of people. The most annoying of them are those who do not want to learn. People come to check their email boxes and don’t even know how to do so. When you opt to help, they just get rude at you and at times get angry and leave simply because you want to teach them so that in future they can do it on their own.
Well, I really feel bad when people are still living in the dark in this computer age. One should at least learn how to check emails and I don’t want to encourage computer illiteracy around me.
The bottom line is I must always force them to learn.
