The topic in the lab today is about IQ.
It's quite a shame when research showed that a proportions of teenagers that should for GCSE (SPM) only have the reading ability as a 10/11-year-old.
While some people cannot understand it, I cannot understand why they generally cannot understand such a situation...
It's quite prominent like in a small town where I came from. People that suppose to sit for the same examination have different level of intelligence (IQ).
Some people are gifted and therefore they understand many things easily and quickly, while some people may need some time to digest and take up things, while some may be even not that lucky, they try to understand but they just cannot.
Acceptability of a particular knowledge just depends on too many factors - interest, environment, family influence, brain physiology, language, etc...
Even like a pharmacist, if a patient just cannot understand what you are saying - it does not mean that they are stupid, or they pretend that they do not want to listen to you. If you try to put in more patience and empathy, may be that will make you realise that, some patients just cannot understand - why not adopt another way(s) to help him/her then? Carer, social worker, diagram, picture...
I think the main issue is due to time factor as well as "I cannot be bothered" factor - people become especially realistic once they step into work place, generally...
So if the next time if someone said they don't understand, and you know, and you have the time, why don't try to explain to him/her in a simple way? With the hope that he/she will understand - and even if he/she only partially understand or still do not get it, believe that he/she will be grateful to you, just because of your patience, willingness and generosity.
Only when you fall in the shoe(s) you start to know more about life - and sometimes I wonder - am I too lucky, or not, for that?
