Some people are lucky enough to be born with a good sense of direction and even if they have only visited
a place once, they will be able to find it again years later.
I am one of those unfortunate people who have poor sense of direction and I may have visited a place time
after time but I still get lost on my way there. When I was young I was so shy that I never dared ask complete
strangers the way and so I used to wander round in circles and hope that by some chance I would get to the
spot I was heading for.
I am no longer too shy to ask people for direction, but I often receive replies that puzzle me. Often people
do not like to admit that they didn't know their hometown and will insist on telling you the way, even if they do
not know it; others, who are anxious to prove that they know their hometown very well, will give you a long
list of directions which you can not possibly hope to remember, and still others do not seem to be able to tell
between their left and their right and you find in the end that you are going in the opposite direction.
If anyone ever asks me the way to somewhere, I always tell them I am a stranger to the town in order to
avoid giving them wrong direction but even this can have embarrassing results.
Once I was on my way to work when I was stopped by a man who asked me if I would direct him the
way to the Sunlight Building. I gave my usual reply, but I had not walked on a few steps when I realized that
he had asked for directions to my office building. However, at this point, I decide it was too late to turn back
and search for him out of the crowd behind me as I was going to meet with someone at the office and I did
not want to keep him waiting.
Imagine my embarrassment when my secretary showed in the very man who had asked for directions to
my office and his astonishment when he recognized me as the person he had asked.
