Lately I have had to “relearn” to always assess the assumptions I am making. As the executive director people often come to me with problems or conflicts. In all of those cases I am making a decision or giving advice. Sometimes (all too often) I rush to a judgement. A few times in the recent past my quick analysis has been way off. Unfortunately not before I am halfway down the road of dealing with a person or situation incorrectly.

“Your assumptions are your windows on the world. Scrub them off every once in a while, or the light won’t come in.” ― Isaac Asimov

My advice: Always make sure you do yourself the favor of getting ALL the information and challenging your beliefs about a situation before acting.
