The Tree of Knwledge (Maturana 1998)
Person ======== Person
(mensaje)
Each person hears what he hears according to his own structural determination...The phenomenon of communication does not depend on what is trasmitted, but on what happens to the person who receives it. And this is a very different matter from 'trasmitting information'.
Agile Software Development (2nd Edition) Alistair Cockburn
To put this into a concrete example, suppose someone runs into the room and shouts "Fire!" in Japanese. A Japanese-speaking listener receives a lot of information and immediatly leaps up and runs to the exit. The Japanese person next to him, who happens to be asleep, receives no information at all. The external stimulus was never converted into an internal signal. A person who speaks no Japanese notices that someone came in and shouted something, but he received no particular information form the sounds uttered. What each person receives from the shout depends on his internal condition.
Success in your business
The success of your business reflects the amount of love you have for it. Want a more success business? Ask yourself if you can find a way to love it more. Love is the doorway, and you are the key. Remember: education changes everything.
