Well, I came across this article in the Telegraph (not the Calcutta version, the UK one) in which this article which professes to discuss how men and women view conversations differently has been pilloried by this other article. Interesting. But allow me to quote from the first article, "...Listening to other people's conversation or spouting off is fine, but to actively engage and explore and find out feels like work… Some people are not interested in people - that's why they chose to be an accountant."
I would like to draw attention to the tone of this sentence. Could it perhaps be that accountants are genuinely more interested in numbers than other things? How about traffic management experts? Or chefs? Or astronomers? Or civil engineers. These are just a few of the professions which keep us going. Now consider the 'people professions': PR, hospitality professionals... sounds really like the Ark B doesn't it?
Speech is not overrated: it has got us to this point: but remember that deeds speak much louder.
