#120 - ASSUMPTIONS are dangerous
in business & life do not make assumptions
Assumption is -"a thing that is accepted as true or as certain to happen, without proof."
We make assumptions, when we don’t have all the information
As time passes most people start to believe what they assumed
Evolution is still happening
New discovering are still being made
New information is being released on all topics
Make assumptions when you have to
But be willing to revisit them
Be willing to retest them
Prime example I can think of is
People assumed the world was flat
then they discovered is round
People assumed we are the only galaxy in the universe
Then they discovered there are 100 billion galaxies
What dictates our assumptions is information
Information is evolving and changing
So never be stubborn about your assumptions
Put aside your ego
Test what you assumed
Take the pragmatic approach
You need to be pragmatic if you want to achieve your goals
