same thing"
When we want to understand each
other, we must understand that
there are some features that differ:
• our language, attitudes and habits
• our previous experience and maturity
• information reception methods
• mental abilities

battle: we struggle to get new
knowledge, sometimes
defeating ourselves. However, in
order to overcome something,
we need to have a concrete
plan (STRATEGY).
