NLP through stories – story 55

A man is walking down
the beach and comes across a sealed bottle.  
He picks it up and
pulls out the cork. Out pops a genie and says that it can grant 3 wishes. 
The man asks for 1
billion dollar in Swiss bank & gets it
“I want a red Ferrari” –
in no time he gets it.
He continues, “I want to be irresistible to women”
POOF!! He turns into a
box of chocolates
Moral :
When we communicate we
must be specific about what we want or ask. 
If not we leave room for people to
derive their meaning. 
The intended meaning becomes a variant to derived
meaning.
In fact meaning of
communication is based upon the recipient
.

Hence
communicator has to take responsibility for the outcome of communication by
seeking feedback from the respondent.
