The more I observe the more evidences to show that I am not patient although I may look as someone who is patient. One of the hardest patience for me is to listen until someone finishes talking. I have four meetings today. The first one I could not cut as I chose to be muted as I was traveling and I don’t know how to mute my phone when there is no wireless connection. The 1-to-1 with my architect was having me cutting her several times as I knew our time is limited and we need to go to another meeting. During that sharing, I have the tendency to want to keep asking. But as the content is new for me, it was easier for me to wait till I find a pause from the speaker.
The hardest which I almost failed was during my team meeting this afternoon. I felt confident on the topic and I almost want to cut my senior. That is because he used a longer way to explain by saying there are two scenarios when we develop a new product. Either we say we also want to follow having a feature from past product and then mention the possible trade-off risk or we do not follow because of something even though there is a benefit. I almost cut in the middle which would not be the right thing to do as I would misunderstand his meaning. So hopefully I can continue improving my patience.
In another 1-to-1 with my friend, I managed to patiently waited for what he said and so I had a very good feedback on the four zones of interpersonal space or called Proxemics. I hope that I can remember where I need to stand the next time I talk to people.
