To answer the above question, we need to know more about where a person fits into the situational learning process. Β
And, we can only ask the person(s) the following questions:
1. Β Are you unable to learn ...? Β Meaning, you do not have the tools.
2. Β Are you unwilling to learn ...? Β Meaning, you have the tools but do not feel like using the tools and training available to you.
3. Β Are you willing to learn, but, unable to learn ...?Β Meaning, you will work to learn -- if you have the tools.Β
4. Β Are you willing and able to learn ...? Β Meaning, you are empowered to progress.
If the situation is #2 then you own and control your situation and nothing will change for you. Β Friends and neighbors will move on.
If the situation is #1 or #3 then our community may be able to help you.
If the situation is #4 then you may beΒ able to help our community at ever lower costs in time and money. Β Meaning, the tools are getting cheaper and more powerful.Β
We could drill down and detail the above variables. Β But, I will defer the detailing until this part of the conversation is situationally useful.
Next time: Β Do we compromise our privacy when we publicize our interest in helping our community?
Β
