A buddy asked me
what I thought
about the situation
in Russia.
I told him
I didn’t know enough
to talk about Russia.
He replied
that I was likely
the only person
on the planet
who would admit
to that.
I hope I’m not.
Because MOST of us
don’t know enough
to talk about Russia.
Or other topics.
And acknowledging that,
staying out of the conversation
and simply observing,
creates better discussions
and better decisions.
It also increases the odds
others will listen to us
when we DO know about the topic.
Admit to not knowing.
That is a powerful stance
and it will make the world
a better place.
