When we were babies, it was difficult to hold an effective conversation. Of course, our needs were also basic. As we grew older, though, it became necessary to communicate with the big people in a more complex way, and thus we had to learn the language of the adults.

As with babies, whenever we enter a new situation, we know not much more than gibberish. And, just like babies, our progress depends on learning the language of our peers. Once we share the basics of the language, we can build and expand on it.

Change, therefore, should start with creating common understanding. When we know what we mean when we say anything, it can help us to get to our destination more effectively.
