Trust But Verify


"Your own mind is a sacred enclosure into which nothing harmful can enter except by your permission."

Arnold Bennett
Late 19th/early 20th century English novelist

Yes, you are the keeper of your mind's "gate", but are you always on duty?

How many business decisions have you made that were based on information you acted on without checking its validity?

  1. Most all decisions are necessarily made on information I believe (but am not certain) to be true. There just isn't an alternative.

  2. I agree Carl. My post suggested we need to check validity more often than I think we do, but there is a limit to how much checking we can do.

    At some point you have to act, the subject of the next post.
