"It's not the things you don't know that trip you up. It's the things you think you know, but you don't. You fail to ask a certain question because you believe you know the answer. Separating your information from your assumptions can be very tricky business." ~Claudia Gray
As a logistician, I have seen this happen too many times. Plans are made based on the sand of assumptions and as soon as we begin, the clog happens and we go nowhere until we fix it. As a counselor, I see daily interactions that do not have to go the negative way they do simply for the lack of understanding. Questions show not just sense but respect as long as you listen and take the answers into account.

Great quotes today, Mikel! We all know what assumptions can make of us. Here is a good response to making assumptions:
“The explanation requiring the fewest assumptions is most likely to be correct.”
― William of Ockham
