Sense of achievement

Imagine this situation. You explain something to someone [may be a difficult concept for the recipient, but Tirunelveli halwa(!!) for you] and the recipient understands it fully & shows the results as you expect. When you get the positive results, you feel elated as if you achieved that task. This need not be felt in big projects alone. You get that feeling, out of small incidents as well.

When your kid does it, there is no limit to the joy.. Take some difficult mathematical concept (in your kid's view) like Division or LCM or GCD, which may be easier one for you. You explain the concept in full and the kid feeds into his mind. When the kid performs well in the school and shows you the result, you will beam like anything (as if you personally achieved it).

Myself and my better-half used to have this experience when our Son delivers what we want. My wife's facial expression of last week, after seeing one of his subject results, prompted me to post this. There was an absolute sense of relief & achievement on her face.

Think the other way around...

If it doesn't go into the recipient's mind, you feel vexed because of your inability to feed your thoughts. It would be like fighting against a wall. You may feel so desperate, that you may be in the verge of anger. After a gap, you may restart again from the beginning. (Doesn't this situation resemble like 'Vaazaipazalak kathai' in 'Karakaatakkaran'?)

I hope each one of you might have had this experience with your friends (while studying or discussing generally) or with your colleagues / subordinates (in your workplace), while inculcating your views. Do you get the sense of achievement most of the time? (even if your thoughts have been understood, that's Ok..no need for further execution). Or is it like the 'Vaazaipazalk kathai' mostly (I mean, the other way around)?

Atleast, you should have the recipient's expeience - In that case, do you make the feeder(!) satisfied or vexed?
