The fact that someone has a good command of the English language doesn’t mean that they understand the importance of good communication or character.

It looks like I'm becoming a regular reader of your Midnight letters... 😃 They are similar to my late night blogging series, which I could rewamp sometimes... for my own sanity... 😃

Speaking of the quote, I had a similar thought many times, especially when I moved to another country... Not knowing the language (except basics), sometimes can sound like you are dumb(er) or stupid, which is far away the case... I had to remind myself many times that those are word expressions and have nothing to do with intention, knowledge, or intelligence...

And the other thing that goes along with that... Feeling of acceptance, or seeking approval from others, just like you mentioned... That's why you still have those words in your mind after so many years... as you didn't get that checkmark approval from that person...

But, we humans are like that... I always remind myself about the time when I was the shop owner and at the end of the day, I was pissed off as I had one client who ruined my day... Forgetting that the other 99 were satisfied and happy customers...

Thanks for moving my grey cells this morning... 🙏
