Time Orientations

I wanted to discuss the topic of Time Orientation because I really feel like it explains a major reason why people differ in understanding non-verbal cues. There are some people who enjoy talking and reminiscing about the past and some people who get annoyed by that and are continuously thinking about the future. When I read this part in the chapter it really made me realize that each and every person we interact with has a different perspective on the situation. We all have friends who love to live in the moment and not worry about things; there is also people who want things structured and with a ‘to do’ list for every occasion. I believe it is important to understand these viewpoints and embrace the difference in us all. I think many people are quick to judge, as we talked about in another blog this week, and don’t understand that everyone cant be like them. I am genuinely beginning to understand and accept each person for who they are; I think that is truly important.
