Welcome to the Wakefield Doctrine (the theory of clarks, scotts and rogers)
Had a most-excellent Drive-in call this weekend.
In attendance: Denise, Cynthia and (the Progenitor) roger*
Our takeaway: the inestimable value of the Wakefield Doctrine is reminding ourselfs to translate. To translate what is said by a roger if you’re a scott, to translate what is being said by a clark if you’re a roger, to trans… you get the idea, right?
Wait, lets make the following statement that, other than a famous math quiz** is one of the most significant in the Wakefield Doctrine: the goal of the Wakefield Doctrine is ‘to help us to see the world as the other person is experiencing it.’
If’n you’re still with us and, even better, smiling at this last statement, Welcome to the Wakefield Doctrine, clark (or scott-with-a-significant-secondary-clarklike-aspect / roger-with-a-significant-clarklike-aspect)
The photo? Sure, it is of the three. Betcha you can tell us who is which. Not to worry. The thing about the Doctrine as a tool for self-improving-oneself, you can’t get it wrong. That’s correct, we just said, ‘You can’t get it wrong.’
As to this weekend’s call in. Stimulating conversation is all it was.
ya know?
out of time, remind us to go to more lengths on the discussion.
….and… and! memoir stuff
* New Readers: the two other people in the eponymous theory are, in fact, real people in the ‘real’ world!
** one of our favorite quick survey of personality type. actually one single question. Never fails. Question: How much is two plus two (2 + 2 = ?)
About clarkscottroger
It WAS (italicize that would you please, lol) a most excellent drive-in call.There is never no enlightenment. And, there’s laughter, ‘cuz how could there not be? Pretty good combination, imo.
(P.S. Consider this your first “reminder”.)
Love the photo you included!
Had not planned on it, but it works perfectly as a (photo)graphic illustration of the three personality types of the Wakefield Doctrine*
* which is, of course, gender neutral as well as age, culture, and pretty much all societal filters and overlays neutral.
A most excellent call indeed. And 2+2 can equal 4, but then when you talk about imaginary numbers and infinite numbers getting to the next integer, well, that’s where it gets a little complicated. hahah.
