To successfully handle a certain situation a person must have a full understanding of that particular situation and the persons involved in it. For instance, let me draw out a particular situation to demonstrate my opinion, a teacher is administering an English class to a five-year-old kid.

For example, the teacher might get an attractive colorful shoelace and attractive colorful shoe, then she will do the demonstration by singing out the English instruction while doing shoelace! Less
