I saw it on someone's signature in CS.com about how if you don't get the desired result the first or first few times try something different. Its not word for word but the point remains.
Was watching a friend do this. With his life in general from the small issue of video games to life in general.
First example playing a video game. The first few tries he doesn't make it past that one part or keeps dying. So he keeps doing the same thing or same move/maneuver because in his mind if i keep trying it has to work! When all he has to do is move over a bit to another area and do the maneuver or do a very similar maneuver that is one button off in difference or after spending 20 something lives either asks me to do this while watching or quits.
When he hands the controller over to me i MAKE him watch how to do it. Yet no, even though I won and got him the bonus item (I'm not that good just practiced often) I'm still wrong or if he just kept trying he will get it.
This filters through with his stuff at home. With chores, with remembering. I don't have to write it down I'll remember! yeah then why is your gf on your case because you forgot...AGAIN.
Or stop going to that place if they continue to give you bad service! Yet he doesn't do these at his job. He actually excels at his job and has yet to make the connection that hey try something different and you get a diff. result from his job to anything else...I suppose his mindset is geared to different places different setting...yeah not really. I wonder if he doesn't have some disorder or learning disability as sometimes he has great difficulty grasping simple things such as the above or that ok to save time instead of going out twice today we are going out once at 1pm and making two stops.
I have never once called him stupid because I know he isn't yet he approaches things differently that in the long run could save time and effort and still get the same result if not better than going about it the hard way. Ie don't have to get angry and can save yourself some suffering.
