Mindset | Guessing Instead of Thinking | Note 414

You know that you should assume nothing, right?

 
You know that you should assume nothing, right? In Note 048, titled “There Is No Way If…”, I discussed Don Miguel Ruiz’s Four Agreements. One of those Agreements is don’t make assumptions.
 
Like Don Miguel, Napoleon Hill believes that guessing instead of thinking is a sure way to fail.
 
In his best-selling book Think and Grow Rich, Hill writes, “GUESSING INSTEAD OF THINKING. Most people are too indifferent or lazy to acquire FACTS with which to THINK ACCURATELY. They prefer to act on “opinions” created by guesswork or snap-judgments.”
 
So, instead of assuming anything, do your research and stop guessing instead of thinking.
