    The best way to learn something new is to related it to something you already know. Use a metaphor so “This = That”. In becoming an electrical engineer one of the thing my teachers always said is to imaging electricity as water. “Electricity = Water” Now imagine a huge water tank with a tap at the bottom of it. The tap is hold back the water pressure in electricity this is called “voltage”. The tap is a “resistor” this limits the flow based on how open or closed it is. The flow of the water is the “current”. The basic understanding of the water tower metaphor will teach someone electricity because everyone has seen a water tower.

    When you do not know something use what you know to help you understand what it’s like.

    To show respect you must pay respect. You pay respect in the words you say and the actions you take. To truly understand a person, employ empathy. Put yourself in the other person’s shoes and give them the benefit of the doubt. Once the whole situation is understood then pay your respect.

    See the whole picture and not just from your point of view. Place yourself in the shoes of the counter argument. Be able to argue the other side better than they can. Practice empathy and understanding. The world as a whole does not revolve around you. Everyone has their own version of how the world works so try and understand this the best you can.
