Perhaps this applies
to particular groups only or those who have yet to undergo certain training. Some
of us enjoy going karaoke, as we get to sing our hearts out and more so, to
relax a little after work. We have a different way in singing and expressing
ourselves, not to mention the differences in pitching and keys. Nevertheless,
have we ever come across the time when we tend to change our key in order to ‘cope’
with the other friends who are singing along? Say, a friend starts off with a
rather high-key and so the others follow, even though they would usually go for
the lower-key. We equalize our pitching as the people around sing, sometimes. And
similar cases do happen in our lives other than singing. How often do we tend
to seek for opinions even when we already have something in mind on which
decision to make? Yet, how often do we find ourselves even more confused and
lost after hearing them out? At times we know what to do but not sure what the
others would feel about it and so we ask, and when we do ask, we hesitate as we
find our resolution to be slightly different from others, hence, the little
change of plan; majority wins. Looking on the other side of singing, we have
two or more individuals with different pitching come together as one and
produce a great piece of music; in which usually known as, harmonizing. Putting such concept into real
life situations; we can always take little information and experiences here and
there, then compile them altogether for a better view on solving particular
problems. Copy and paste is never a good way in making decisions because even
though the problems may appear to be the same, doesn’t mean there’s only one
way in fixing it. We may seek for opinions from the third party, with conditions;
to clearly know our stand and not get all mixed up simply by listening to other
voices. We take other perspectives into consideration, not changing ours just
so to be the same; harmonize instead of equalizing.
