„Communication is the burden of the communicator,“ someone I had a call with told me today. Such a smart sentence. It’s the equivalent to „It’s always the designers fault,“ which I’ve been repeating for years.
You don’t understand a chart? It’s likely not your fault, but the fault of the chart designer.
You don’t understand a sentence in an article? Its probably the fault of the writer.
You don’t understand what your teacher/the presenter/the speaker is talking about? Probably their fault.
I believe this is so important to me because my self-confidence was low for a very long time in my life, so I did assume often that it’s my fault. I thought I’m simply too stupid. And I know enough people who still think that, which, well, is a bit sad to watch.
