Look At Actions

People lie.

People also tell us
what they think
we want to hear
or,
in the case
of a few contrarians,
what they think
we DON’T want to hear.

If you want to know
what people
TRULY think,
look at their actions.

In the case of politicians,
we can look
at their voting history.

In the case of potential business partners,
we can look
at their past partnerships
and their past projects.

In the case of a potential employee,
we can look
at their employment history
and speak
with former employers.

Take the time
to uncover
what the people around you
truly think.

Look at what they do
and have done.

Research Before Taking Action

Some of my relatives
believe I’m a master gardener
because I seem to know
a lot about the plants
I’m growing.

I’m not a master gardener.
I’m a master researcher.

Before sowing seeds,
I watch dozens of
YouTube videos
and
read as many blog posts
about that plant.

I learn from other gardeners
and that greatly
increases my success rate.

There is information
online
about everything
from stuffing envelopes quickly
to launching new products.

Take some time.
Do the research.
Improve your success rate.
