I enjoyed today's discussion. My take-away is that so many of the topics we approach are personally-defined. Do we insist that people learn and pronounce our name precisely? Do we reach out to people to recognize that pronunciation and inflection may be challenging to some given their ability to hear (physical disability)... to aborb details... to pronounce accurately? For what it's worth, I think that if we want to move people to a different place, as opposed to just asserting our own needs to others, we need to listen more... figure out where someone is at the moment... and adapt our philosophy to what is most meaningful to them. It is fairly easy to go on about what we think about a given issue. If we just want a soapbox to hear ourselves, fine. But if we want change, we need to be more patient, listen more and preach less, and be willing to do what it takes to meet each person where he or she is rather than where we are. I'm not good at that. It's hard. But it is my take-away from today.
