Hello Tipsters, A 60-year-old male who works for the U.S. Department of Agriculture sent me the following letter. I would appreciate any thoughts you have before I reply.
"Would you be able to recommend to me some reading material about a couple of topics that I've pondered about for a long time, but haven't come up with any answers. Maybe even a class at the College that would enlighten me. 1- What is it about some folks, both at work and in my personal life, that just plain talk too much. They will even follow me to keep talking, its not lecturing type talk, its just talk about things. Often one topic just drifts in to another. Its usually about their life in some manner, about their kids or their experiences. Is there something I should be doing? Are they looking for some kind of feedback? What in the world causes such things? The folks that I'm referring to seem to have a pretty high view of themselves and their experiences. 2- What causes some folks to be so secretive about things? I realize that there is a view that knowledge is power, and some folks try to use even the simplest piece of information as a means of control, if they think that you might want that information. Why would someone expect an enterprise to be successful if they are at the head of the enterprise and insist upon being secretive about most things?" Thank you for your help, Laura Laura Valvatne, Ph.D. Psychology Shasta College 11555 Old Oregon Trail Redding, CA 96049 530-225-4954 [EMAIL PROTECTED] --- You are currently subscribed to tips as: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
