This is one of my favorite Chinese sayings, which is usually applied when one refuses to givea proper answer / reply when asked. The elderly uses this phrase on kids, when the kid refuses to give a proper answer to questions asked. Never have I expected that this saying is also applicable now that I am an adult now.
There is this saying: Ask, and you shall receive. I beg to differ. This is because, I tried and it doesn't work.
It's either that these people are treating you like a fool or they are just plain selfish. How can one claim to be not aware of your industry's core knowledge, when you have been in the line for ages?
This smacks of pure ignorance, or they are just trying to pull the wool over my eyes. I am so frustrated because I can't believe that even my own colelagues are not being forthcoming with their information and all. I had to resort to the most unconventional method to get the information.
My Brother. He doesn't know much, but at least he helped me to ask his colleague about this, since he is also in the construction industry, even though he's only been there for a year.
That is all that I am asking for. Advice from the people -who-knows-it-better-than -I -Do.
Oh well, I guess this is one of their sneaky ways to make me be accountable for the decision I make.
(But I'm asking this for everyone's benefit.. .guess this people don't have much of gray cells in their brains)
Why can't everyone agree to something without disputing it every single second? Must the decision-making always be at the expense of someone else? A zero-sum game?
Arrgghh.. i will never understand that.
