It was already half past seven and I was running late again for the dinner appointment with my wife, Eleanor. We had   41  to meet at the restaurant at seven o’clock. I felt a little uneasy, but to my   42 , I had a good excuse: A business meeting had   43  and I’d wasted no time getting to the dinner.
When I arrived at the   44  , I apologized and told Eleanor I didn’t mean to be late. She screamed, “You never mean to.” Well, I   45  tell she was angry. “I’m sorry but it was not   46  ,” I said. Then I told her about the business meeting.   47  , my explanation seemed to make things worse, which started to drive   48  mad as well.
Several weeks later, when I   49  the situation to my friend Ken Hardy, he smiled, “You    50  a classic mistake. You’re stuck   51  your own way of thinking. You didn’t   52  to be late. But that’s not the point. What is   53  in your communication is how your lateness affected Eleanor.” He pointed out that I focused on the intention   54  Eleanor focused on the result. Thus,   55  of us felt misunderstood and crazy.

I should have started the conversation by expressing   58  my actions affected Eleanor and   59  the discussions about my intention for later, much later and even never.
Later on, after talking to Eleanor and really   60  her experience of the results of my lateness, I’ve managed to be on time a lot more frequently.
