The Irrelevant Proposal
This blog is written mostly tongue in cheek. Some points may be informative. Please provide your feedback.
If you suffer from self-irrelevancy, please seek professional advice.
Hello. Today I proposed my career plan to my mom. She's in her 70s. As I was proposing what I wanted to do, I could see she was ready to interrupt me. My proposal was irrelevant to her.
Why? Because her mindset is based on her situation, not mine. For example, she is living off of CPP. It's an important part of her income. She figures if I'm not contributing to it now, my proceeds down the road will be minimal.
I tried to explain to her my spouse and I do not expect to collect one dime from CPP. Our financial plan is based on other revenue sources. To my mom, this was hard to comprehend. It affected her ability to understand what I wanted to accomplish. As a result, I could've said anything and it would've been the same reaction.
How to make a proposal understood? More tomorrow.
