Curiosity is dangerous. Surely you know the phrase “curiosity killed the cat.” As a kid, I heard this from my parents time and again. I know now they were just trying to keep me alive. Maybe it was because of that time I put my hands in the pot of water on the stove to feel how hot it was – luckily, it wasn’t boiling water and I’m not scarred for life.

The problem with accurately hearing what others mean to convey is not that we don’t hear their words accurately. The problem is in the interpretation. During the listening process, our brains arbitrarily filter out, or reconfigure the uncomfortable, unknown, or confusing, to make what’s been said match something we’re more familiar with. And it fails to inform us of its creative editing.

jennifer maravillas FOR HBR. As part of doing business globally and operating across cultures, we often want to predict how others are going to behave. Our typical heuristic, understandably, is culture. We read a book, an article, or a blog post about cultural differences. We learn about how Germans or Chinese or Italians are different from us — how they think or act or even express emotions in a different way — and we feel like we’ve done our homework.

They’re a great Twitter cheat, too, since a picture is worth far more than 140, or even 10,000 , characters.

Is there a colleague with whom you have a strained working relationship? If, by chance, you are some kind of work superhero who just answered “no” to that question, is there at least someone with whom you would like to have a better relationship? If so, please ask yourself the following questions in relation to that person: Do you notice him as he truly is today, or based on your memory of how he was last week or last month – or even last year?
