On Friday Brother Adams mentioned something that has stuck with me and that I want to and need to apply in my life. He sadi that we need to work with people effectivly and with things efficiently. Too often, we tend to try and fix the problem on the spot but don’t really effectivly find the best solution. We are too concerned about fixing the problem immedietly. Also, we had started the topic on Wednesday, but we viewed situtions on Friday of how this applied.
A-advise
P-probe
I-interpret
E-evaluate
When someone comes to us with a problem we often use one or all of these to find a soultion. By using these, we are thinking about ourselves and not really empathicaly listening to what the person is really feeling. I know in my life, I have a roommate who is depressed all the time. She does not even know why she is feeling this way. Everyday we will talk and I try to probe by asking her questions which results in me evaulating her condition and in return giving her advise to solve the problem. So badly I want to her bo happy, but gving her a solution that I have evauated does not help the situation. I simply need to be there for her to talk to and confide in.
