Idioms

those who can, do; those who cannot, teach.
bullshit.

right from the start, i hate that idiom, so much.

i can do. i have done. i have a demonstrated record of success, professionally. personally, it’s a whole different matter.

i have a passion to teach people; to open others’ eyes and to open my own eyes, as well.

you don’t like my communication style. your words and complaints are not lost on me. i know people are not used to being talked to like they aren’t children. somehow, along the line, we started taking everything others say, personally, and avoiding the ideas or facts that are being shared.

stop it. i am not trying to piss you off, i am not trying to offend you. i am not saying i am better than you (HOW MANY TIMES AM I GOING TO HAVE TO STATE THIS?)

if you are reading something within my words that ISN’T THE WORDS, talk to me.

if you disagree with me, state your evidence to support your side, or shut the fuck up.

a friend recently accused me of telling her she didn’t think when i said ‘i want you to think.’

i did NOT say ‘i do not think you are thinking, you need to think.’

i said ‘i want you to think.’

if you are thinking, ok, move along.

on second thought; ‘those who cannot, teach’ … look at what i am doing; i cannot change some of these things; i need others to help me. by shining a light on the problems and discussing hypothetical solutions, we might be able to work together to solve these problems.

if you just accept that the problems are there, and that’s the way of the world, fine. i’m trying to rock the boat to stimulate change. change isn’t just something that ‘happens’, you have to ask for it, and you have to do it.
