The ART of ASSUMING

It’s amazing how the human mind works, nonstop, chugging on with the infinite information we see, read, hear and experience. Somehow a lot of this leads to a crazy thing called Assumptions.

Quite often we tend to ignore facts and we get only hearsay. Some of us make all the judgments based on assumptions which are a product of half baked information. I’m always surprised by people who assume everything without ever raising a single question.

Say we have very few information and our mind starts to work on it resulting in an array of assumptions and theories which may not have anything to do with reality, now how stupid will it be to act on such assumptions?

This quality of Assuming can be a boon for writers. It also works well in the Reel world were imagination is key to everything, but it would be highly immature in the Real world.

I have learnt a simple solution from my experiences to counter the Assumption overkill.

WHEN IN DOUBT, (open your freakin mouth and) ASK  :-)
