We live our lives with with our knowledge of things. Sometimes we know things for fact and other times, well, we think we know things for the fact. 

What you think of these wild cats? Are they killers or your friendly household pets? Can some of them be turned into killers or tamed as Johnny’s pets?  We cant judge, but we cant discard years of learning (genetic, nature, nurture).

On a daily basis in my life and lives around me, I have seen assumptions and I dare say, very wrong, assumptions. I have seen hours of agony, misery and pain caused by things that never existed.

Is it something that only hurts our personal lives? No, it affects our  business lives as well. Assumptions about clients, projects, expectations, results, KPIs, performance, ……. you name it.

My younger brother has learned this from his martial arts training: Assumptions are killers.
