Assumptions visit people more often than they realize. People usually act based on their hunches. This habit is useful, because then you don’t have to think. If you meet a man in uniform, you can guess that he is a law enforcement officer. But don't make assumptions all the time and don't let them rule your life!
Remember the sad fate of the sign designer - he lost his earnings because he made the wrong assumption. A rich woman asked him to write a warning about a dog in the house to hang on the front door. He wrote: "Beware, evil dog!" - and lost the order.
“You fool,” exclaimed the woman. — I wanted to notify those entering: “Knock quietly! Don’t wake the dog!”
