Over the last weekend, Jeremiah attended his first-ever rock concert, in Jakarta of all places. As with most of the concert goers, Jeremiah was there to hear Lifehouse perform. Since Lifehouse was an American band and the concert poster indicated that the concert would start at 5.59 pm, Jeremiah and his mates decided to be there at 6 pm. Alas, the Lifehouse turned out to the closing act and only started playing at 11 pm! Boo to the poor planning and communication on the part of the organisers.
Great lessons re-learnt from the episode: (A) Be considerate towards others and put yourself in their shoes. Do not do unto others what you would not do onto yourself. (B) Communication is not just about what you say, but also how it is said and understood.
