Been trying my hand lately in programming in Perl. Doing some database things with it. It’s quite an interesting language. I’m rather enjoying it, if I’m being honest. Coming from a Java background, I find it exciting to learn new things and take them as they come to me. It’s fun for sure!
There are days where we ask a question. It might be to a parent, or sibling, or even God. We ask this question in good faith hoping to receive an answer. Usually, we have an answer in mind that is appropriate for the question asked. Sometimes we do not receive that answer but are astonished to hear a completely different answer than the one we were expecting.
As a result, we might become discouraged. Did we perhaps not ask the right question? Is it possible the hearer misheard the question. We make up all sorts of explanations in our heads as to why we didn't get the answer we most desired.
No, they didn't hear the question wrong. In fact, they heard you loud and clear. It is you who have misread the room and to whom you were asking the question. It is the only logical answer that I can come up with at this point in time.
So, we have two choices. We can either run with the answer given or complain and seek yet another answer. Well, what happens if you seek another answer and you still don't agree with it? What then? It makes you wonder at times doesn't it.
Maybe it's best to run with the answer you received in the first place, see where that takes you.
