Empathy vs Sympathy

 Empathy vs Sympathy Empathy vs Sympathy My favorite line from Brené’s TED talk? “Rarely can a response make something better, what makes something better is connection .” What is the difference between Empathy and Sympathy? First, we need to know that Empathy and sympathy are two related but distinct concepts. Empathy: It simply means " The ability to sense other people's emotions with the ability to imagine what someone else might be thinking or feeling" Having empathy doesn’t necessarily mean we’ll want to help someone in need, though it’s often a vital first step toward compassionate action. Empathy is also defined as one of the most interpersonal skills one can have as it helps you connect with people easily. Empathy is the ability to understand and feel what someone else is feeling, as his feeling touches something inside of you . Sympathy: It means recognizing and understanding other people's feeling but not necessarily feeling the same . It's about a fee...

The Journey to Learning - Any New Skill

Learning is a Journey The Treasure is in the Journey The Treasure is in the Journey Do you remember the old saying " The Journey is the Treasure"?  - Lloyd Alexander We - as professionals - never stop learning for countless reasons. One of which is that the market is a dynamic place and whatever your area of work is, there will be something new every day – plus, you have competitors who are upgrading constantly to win the market. For some, learning is an enjoyable process, for others – like me – they keep learning as they trust that Knowledge is Power. Many people – professionals included – have queries that pop up in their mind once they are exposed to learning a new thing or skill – call it a need to learn a new thing. Examples of these common queries and questions are: Learning is a Journey Is it hard to start learning “X”?  Do I need to be smart to start learning “X”? Do I need to be young to learn a new skill ? Do I need a college/university degree? Is it expensive? will...

Allusion, Illusion, Delusion, Hallucination

Image
 Allusion vs Illusion vs Delusion vs Hallucination To start simple and break things down, let us remove “Allusion” from above family. Why? Allusion only rhymes with “Illusion and Delusion”. Therefore, the similarity is only in the ending sounds. However, when it comes to meaning, “ Allusion ” is NOT a part of the family of words above. And now, let's see the difference: Allusion: Indirectly referring to something without clearly mentioning it. Allusion is often followed by “to”. It can also mean hints . Ø   She made an allusion to her first marriage but said nothing more about it. Ø   Eliot’s poetry is full of biblical allusions Synonyms for allusion:      Hint/s, mention, implication, indication Illusion: 1-       An idea or concept that is not true Ø   Social media gives us the illusion of companionship. (The idea/feeling of companionship from social media is not real . Ø    Being out in the desert with a hot Su...

Parts of Speech Parts of Speech Why Grammar? Grammar is the system of the language. It classifies words, their nature, usage, and forms. Do you want to speak clearly and effectively? Maybe professionally? If yes, bear with me 👂 Me: No one likes grammar, but, can you build a house in the air?  You: hummm 🤔, no. Me: When you learn a new language, please DO NOT start with grammar. You: What? Is it you saying this? Me: Yes, It's ME who is telling you this. So, you watched an English video, listened to an English radio channel, watched Movies, maybe loved listening to some  American or English songs, read a lot, but you still CAN NOT - or it is HARD to - Speak or Write correctly. In other words, you cannot produce language.  Well, how to produce a correct language? The answer is: Grammar, Sir! To help you connect the dots and solve the puzzle of Grammar - we will make a plan, a map, a rout, a tree, or call it what you like 👀 Connecting dots "Parts of Speech"  are calle...
