I recall sitting in a conference room at Baxter Healthcare and I was trying to learn more about programming.\u00a0 I had just been switched into a new group and my new supervisor was trying to teach me some basic items (basic to him, anyway). He was getting increasingly frustrated at me for not understanding some things. The more frustrated he got, the less I could even concentrate on what he was saying and trying to teach me.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #800000;\">Along these lines, I also remember a relative trying to teach another relative some new things. Again, the more upset the &#8220;teacher&#8221; got, the less able the &#8220;learner&#8221; was able to concentrate. It didn&#8217;t end well.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #800000;\">Oh&#8230;what&#8217;s that?!
