How many times you saw situations, when a person tells you: “Yes, I understand”, only to come to you, again in next few minutes to declare: “I don’t understand what to do?”
One important cause of people’s frustration is that they confuse a general understanding of a situation with a real one. People grasp easily the general idea of many situations. But there is always next step, namely the application in practice. And what is the application in practice? It is the ability to use understanding successfully in order to solve problems, including life problems, work problems, etc. But if a person had just a perception of understanding instead of a real understanding, how he will be able to apply it? In fact, in this case, he will run from one problem to another one. And this generates tremendous amount of frustration in people’s life. So, what to do? The real understanding involves the ability to see clearly the elements, or the constituent’s parts of a structure situation, system, theory, etc. and interactions among them. Also the real understanding answers the questions: “Why? What is the cause of a certain problem, event, etc.?"
Once you see clearly all elements of a certain situation, the way the elements interact among themselves, and the cause of the situation, you may say that you understand it, and are ready to solve it successfully.
