What is the only thing you have of real value aside from your life?
The only thing of real value is your word – knowing this is your true value 100, 75, 50, or less than 25%?
A corollary – always take people a their literal word – do not interpret or try to read their mind, its theirs, you cannot. Besides, would it not be better to have faith the person is mature enough to say only what they mean and offer them that respect and be right then to try and read between the lines and guess the motivation and be wrong? (in other words – when someone tells you something believe them!)
