is it hard to follow directions,or you just don't like to read instructions?

that's what we all need.to read before asking questions,but sometimes we just have the habit of being lazy to read,and it's better to ask instead.but what we are not noticing is that we can be interrupting others because of too much questions.we should learn to have time and think things through.read what we have to read ans learn to understand it.if we really can't understand it,then that's the only time to ask.we have nothing to do with people who aren't interested on what we are trying to explain.it's all up to them. yes,you are right,it is really hard to teach something to a person when they really don't have interest and focus at all. it's nonsense and waste of time and effort.

don't worry,my dear! you are not one of those people i am referring to. i know you are not a slow learner and if you are asking questions,it's okay. it doesn't bother me at all.it's just that there are some people who are lazy on reading instructions and they seem not to understand it that's why they ask too much and makes the process more longer,which sometimes irritates me.. i think if the giver and receiver talk with matter of understandings,they will definitely have no problems at all. but if the receiver have such things in mind,and don't focus on directions,then problem exists...

Thanks vi, I just thought I might be giving you a hard time.. Well I would advice that you tell them to read the instructions very well because you can't always be there to sustain information to them.. And besides, if they aren't interested in reading and following instructions, I think it's worthless anyway. One should be sure if he really needs and "wants" help because time wasted on somebody is really irritating. If they don't try their best, then I guess you shouldn't try hard to let them understand what is there to understand. It's really hard to teach somebody who isn't really interested to learn.

It is really important we read the instructions. That way in addition to ensuring we use the appliance safely, we also get to know all the features and capabilities of the appliance.

Yes, it's important to read the manual of instructions for us to use the appliance safely and avoid having problems with electricity as well. Yes, not all appliances have its same features, so might as well know more about the appliance we did purchase. it is our own benefit to know more about what we had purchased, isn't it?

Hello 2wicelot! I'm glad to know that you do have such an attitude of reading instructions specially when it comes to appliances' instructions. yes, it is indeed needed for us to read instructions specially when it comes to appliances cause it might be dangerous if we use it the wrong way. electricity has much power and it might cause fire when we used the appliances the wrong way. we can't blame others if they don't like to read instructions. it's just their lost anyway, right?

yes, absolutely right there, my friend! we can't help ourselves to skip to the main event not knowing first what to feed our minds before jumping in. it's like we feel that we know the details when in fact we really don't. or should i say, we just don't want to waste the time reading,don't you think? most people does the same thing, but like the saying goes, repentance is always in the end.

Hehe, kirinx i think there are lots of people who do that. they wanted to rush things at times so they just skip on reading and heading on...which is not good at times cause it may be a cause of mistakes.

@john sounds like some people in my family ..

Oh by the way, I forgot, sometimes, things can be understand easily if they see how it is done. Like me, I think I understand things better if I have a chance to see how things are done and let me try it than just reading it on paper...

I also thought that I have responded to this discussion already as well...but as I scan the pages, I didn't see myself here...so i'm here now! Well I guess he just have some difficulty in understanding the instructions that's why he keeps on asking you what to do... You know, I can't be a teacher or a trainer, coz I am not patient in teaching other people. Like before when I use to become a team leader in a company that I work with, as a team leader it is also my duty to train new employees and you know, I just got a hard time and I gets annoyed easily specially hen the trainee didn't get what I am saying right away...haha maybe because I compared them to myself, I feel like if I understand that easily when I am still a trainee, I expect them to understand it easily as well...haha from the on I said to myself that I can never be a teacher or a trainer coz i have a tendency of being so impatient...hehe lol! that's also my problem when we bought a universal remote control, at first I thought that it is not working and not worth the money...(although it already cheap) because we have a hard time figuring out how to program it, but thanks that after some day and asking a friend, we finally get ho to use it!

Hello my dear! I can't believe this was one of the first few topics I've done and you just been here just now... I thought you have responded in here, but well I am happy that you have the time to drop by my discussions... ^_^ Anyways, back to topic, you are right that we don't have the same level of understanding and some people don't get the words instantly at times when they read it or hear it unless they are really familiar to what is there to keep in mind. I even sometimes caught myself reading something that I can't understand fast, It's like I have to read it twice before I would be able to capture the thought of it... Yes, it can be they have read the instructions but then still relying on the instructor itself. Well, this topic was made because of my friend who I was chatting online and I instruct him in chat what to do in some site I have shared with him. It seems like he wants to see first in person what to do exactly. As you said in here, it can be easily fed to someone what to do while you are with them. It's like a hands-on treatment where I have to show him what to do myself before he would be able to do it himself. There can be times like that when people don't really have the idea of what the instructor is asking them to do. I remember when my sister bought a universal remote and we can't even use it cause the instructions are not that clear to us or maybe the remote itself has the problem. We didn't even make use of it cause we can't make it useful. After few months, another sister of mine bought a new universal remote...it was cheaper and so happy that we made it useful this time...

you are right,toya! sometimes it's better to understand things when you can see how to do it actually. if you just read it,you may not always think the ideas or thoughts that are being initiated and wanting to put into your mind. well,i guess it's also how people understand things.but i can say,it's much better to see in person what they are trying to instruct us. this way,we will know how things will really work.

hardworkinggurl,i think we are both the same when it comes to that. it's better for us to read the instructions over and over again till we realize what is there to understand,if we can only take time on reading while understanding each and every line of it,we can get what the message is all about.but if we really don't have idea what it is,we better ask questions to guide us in right thing to do.

I agree, but before I ask a question I will scour and read the instructions slowly over and over again. If in the event I still do not get it I will immediately apologize and kindly ask for assistance.

haha,nice categories you got there,dear! i'll keep that in mind! thanks for sharing it. well,i also think i am like you.though i still need guidance on some things...lol!

well i do hope that you are still on the right track. cause sometimes not reading the instructions can lead us to wrong doings in life.

Oh, I always try to break rules or at least finding holes to be able to get through the rules...

there are people who tend to jump in directly on what they understand to do without realizing there are some instructions which are not the same as they are thinking.that's why they fail on that. and in the long run,they simply realize their own faults.when they started to read first,it would be avoided,but they didn't read,that's why problem exist. it's like what we have in life.we tend to move forward without enjoying what we have in the present time,and when we grow up,we realized how much we missed our youthfulness,when we have enjoyed the most out of it,then we'll not regret those things. as they say,repentance is always there at the end.

you don't like to read instructions which can make you puzzled for more things ahead of that. try tto read and understand details for you to better learn such things about what is there to understand.having no idea at all in a certain thing can ruin anything when not reading directions.

there are people who don't understand what i do understand.and i think by giving them instructions,it's not easy when we are only talking with text like this. they usually are those types that thewy have to learn things while talking,or let me show it in front of them for them to realize what is there to be done. it takes time to teach others who can't pick up some things which are new to them. i can't blame them cause it's their first time to encounter such things. i just have to have lots of patience to teach them what is there to understand.

wow,very well said,my dear friend! thanks for that! yes,we all have different kinds of thinking.and instructors just want to let us know what they think we have to do. but as you say,not all people can instruct things easily also. we still need to read instructions.it's like here in mylot.we are all members here but not all can understand what is there to understand about this site.there are things here,like that star and the number beside our usernames.not all people here understand what it's meant. or should i say,i may be able t understand it but i don't think my understandings to that is really the right thing to keep in mind. that's why when we have discussions we also have to read,before we write our responses.not to jump directly without reading the whole content of the topic started. there are topics here which i can say are different from what is inside the contents.have you noticed that? not all members tend to put titles which are about the contents of it.so it's really obvious that we have to read....

Hi dear, All users are not alike. As you said, many are not even bothered to read the FAQs. I insisted people that as long as we are constant visitors and frequent users it is better to know everything in details. Also, earning is a part of these, for a better output, we need to understand well so that we can gain the maximum. I think we all spend a lot of time myLot for discussions and posting. If the time and effort is spend in a wise manner, we will get the maximum out of it. Sometimes I will ignore some posts because they found meaningless or not worthy. However, as a myLoter, I am trying my best to deal with all and with a pleasing approach. Thank you so much for your comments and suggestions. Best regards, Thank-s

hello dear,yes not all people here want to read those FAQ's but we are also here to help each other out,so we can always see such people who are always there to ask on certain things,and since this is a forum site,we learn from each others opinions. it's nice to be there in a discussion that is worth while joining and if you can do something to help,it's much better,right? i just wonder since yesterday i haven't found those emoticons here and reputation stars.how about you?have you seen them? where did they go?

well,it can be a good sign. at least you read the instructions before jumping to actions... it's better for us to read those for it is made for our guidance and help us lead to the right thing to do. if you happen to read those,then it's all up to you if you want to follow it or make your own rules.just make sure that you know what you're doing will not harm you.

Hello Kirinx! nice to see you have commented on others also. I like it!^_^ Sorry if it took me long to comment back, I just don't have much time to be here nowadays. Anyways, about the topic, it's too hard to understand people who just don't like to focus sometimes. It's kinda maddening as you said. It really depends on how people think. Some people do focus on everything what others say about directions, some just don't like reading. But there are people who are lazy to read and even if you guide them face to face, they just don't seem to understand what you are trying to say. It's just so annoying at times. But people are people, we all have different ways to think and respond.

Wow! you have good idea on that huh? Having punishment regulations is too strict to imply. We can't imply it on all instructions all the time, isn't it? I can't imagine what will happen if all instructions have punishments if it has not been accomplished. Yes, people all have different ways of thinking and not all have the patience to read such instructions. But then on, instructions will be there for us to be informed and for us to do what is there to be done. Instructions also lead us to understand how to do the task or anything, in a right way. Do you agree?

Well, loli, we are just human. There are things we still don't know ans makes the proof that we all need each other. That's why no man is an island, right? someone needs someone else's help for sure. And no matter how great our knowledge is, we still need someone else's help for us to know what their thoughts are all about and how they understand things to make us learn to understand also from them. Makes me think we all can be teachers for some reasons...

you are right,we should all take time to read instructions for us to easily understand what is there to be done,than jump in directly to whatever it is,then clueless on what to do. and keep on asking thousands of qustions which cause slowing down and takes others time also...

hello punk,yes there are times instructions are hard to understand that's why we have to ask someone what they reallymeant by those instructions and if possible,it could have a need that someone have to show us in action what is really there to understand and what is it to be done.

there are really people who cannot understand things that easy.or is it that they just want to annoy someone who gave them instructions because they themselves are annoyed when not understanding what is there to be done. actually,there are also people who you think can understand what you are saying and they simply nod and agree on it,but then after sometime of the day,they'll still ask dozens of questions about it.it can be they are feeling silly when asking directly and trying to figure out themselves what is being said,but in the long run,they actually really don't understand it.

hello carpediem! well,i do think that it depends on how their brain is functioning that time.sometimes there are people who tend to understand things easily but then if they started to do the instructions,they find it hard to do such things.maybe because words are easily written than actually doing it by yourself.

we tend to assume on things too much,thinking we know what to do,when in fact we don't and we still need to read through that instructions no matter how we don't like to. cause it will be our guide,not unless some people would teach us everything for us not to read through.i can observe it here in mylot.some people tend to ask questions regarding things here when in fact,it is all stated in the FAQ's.and we still just don't like to read it.it can be lazy thing to do cause of too much long paragraphs or something.sometimes long paragraphs say "don't read me" haha! that's why we tend to jump directly and soon ask too many questions,lol!

yeah,that thing we can't avoid,my friend! there are times we are given instructions which will test our own knowledge how we focus on things given to us.we just have to focus on what the instructor is telling us for us to do the right thing. i have experienced that time when i was still studying,our professor used to instruct things what we have to write or draw in our papers that time and our scores depends on how well do we get what she was instructing us to do. unfortunately,i failed to that.cause i am a person who tend to learn things when i see it personally.i can't understand clearly what she is saying,though her voice is not that loud and i am far beyond her that's why i can't fully understand what she is saying,and i failed...
