How hard is it to follow instructions?

Lets first start by who will give instructions? Your mother, father, teacher, lecturer and boss to name a few.

Why would they give you instructions? Your mother and father would give you instructions, because they can and it is also I think in terms of teaching you responsibility, diligence and skill.

Your teacher and lecturer’s reason for giving you instructions could be the same reason as your parents and also because it is part of the curriculum to complete assignments and they have certain requirements and deadlines in terms of the Universities syllabus.

Why would your boss give you instructions? Well because he/ she is your boss and they in turn receive instructions from their boss. So you have no choice you have to do it.

How hard is it to follow those instructions? I don’t necessary think it is hard to follow instructions, but sometimes it depends on who gave you the instructions that is the hard part.

A factor is also how is the instructions carried over, because the way somebody speaks to you, depends on how quick, comprehensive and with what attitude you are going to follow the instructions.

A lot of the times people have a negative connotation regarding the word instruction. Instruction can be explained as a directive received from a higher authority (superior), teaching, coaching etc.

So next time you need to follow instructions think of what lesson you can learn while performing the instruction not only from the person, but also the situation.

It shouldn’t be hard to follow instructions when the right attitude and communication exist.
