Don't Assume You Know!

---

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

There are still some people who just believe they've known a "particular thing" enough; they've become so familiar with "knowledge" and soon would pay for it

As you grow up and move on in life, one important decision you would have to make is to consciously and continually increase your knowledge of the things you knew. Give room for more as knowledge itself is not static. Never assume you know enough. Study to be successful; study to be up to date and strive to increase your knowledge base.

My people are destroyed for the lack of knowledge..... (Hosea 4:6 )

As sad as this statement may sound, it is nonetheless valid and true! Sometime you see people going through a lot of struggle and discomfort in life not because of the lack of money but the lack of knowledge in that area of their life.

The problem is ignoring knowledge (ignorance). If you wondering why you have not been making more steem and steem dollars it may not necessarily be because your content is bad. The truth is you have ignored to note little details that matters the most.

For instance when someone upvoted your post and made a nice comment, you never cared to reply nor interact with them yet you want them to keep upvoting you in your subsiquent post.
It does not work that way my friend.

On the other hand some person they know some much to the extent that the content of other mean little or nothing to them. Again i would say: it does not work that way.

“ Assumptions are dangerous things to make, and like all dangerous things to make -- bombs, for instance, or strawberry shortcake -- if you make even the tiniest mistake you can find yourself in terrible trouble. Making assumptions simply means believing things are a certain way with little or no evidence that shows you are correct, and you can see at once how this can lead to terrible trouble. For instance, one morning you might wake up and make the assumption that your bed was in the same place that it always was, even though you would have no real evidence that this was so. But when you got out of your bed, you might discover that it had floated out to sea, and now you would be in terrible trouble all because of the incorrect assumption that you'd made. You can see that it is better not to make too many assumptions, particularly in the morning.
