But I tend to want to FIX IT rather than just listening and empathising. So Po's words very appropriate for me too.Damaria Sennehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16933949808230808200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19861369.post-84312881841033251252010-02-12T13:20:06.505+02:002010-02-12T13:20:06.505+02:00I agree with needing to create a persona. i view m...I agree with needing to create a persona. i view much of my work not a creative process, but as translation of someone's experise into a format that the target audience can digest, delieverd by a persona or voice they will listen to. If that makes sense.<br /><br />And as Po says, I reckon this friend probably needed to get it off her chest more than to receive advice.

She will take her heart's advice in the end, but she needed you just to be there and validate her troubles.<br /><br />I think there is no expert that can advise perfectly with love troubles, because of the differences in people.pohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00711119384786965311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19861369.post-5520138123164395052010-02-11T20:41:04.846+02:002010-02-11T20:41:04.846+02:00@Corinna - I think it's a good thing that we a...@Corinna - I think it's a good thing that we are able to project this image. When I write tech stuff, I'd say my job is very well done if I can chat to a researh developer about a new technology, take his concept and words ( which usually are expressed in an incomprehensible technical language) and explain all that to my target audience in simple English so that they not only understand Damaria Sennehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16933949808230808200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19861369.post-4528315275289579972010-02-11T18:27:18.720+02:002010-02-11T18:27:18.720+02:00I'm sorry for your friend's partner, it...I'm sorry for your friend's partner, it's terrible that he could do that to her at this time, but then again it could also be the cause of the problem itself.<br /><br />I think you're right, we are often very good at projecting an image that's not necessarily a true reflexion of who we are.Trish Donmallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08151728653610948512noreply@blogger.com
