The thing about assumptions
is no more can you make them of others
than they can make them of you.
Keys #48
Assumptions often lead to expectations.
When you have expectations of someone
it’s like you have asked them to assume a role
before you have given them a chance to read the script.
Keys # 50
Expectations often lead to disappointment. Disapproval, scolding and fault-finding are all markers on the continuum of disappointment.
Be mindful of your assumptions before you act. Don’t sweat the small stuff.

Wonderful!!!! It is so true that we make assumptions about others, often quickly as with that instant first impression. And how frustrating when it is difficult to recognize the other as someone who makes sense within our world view, which is based on ALL of the assumptions that we live by. And now I’m laughing at myself!
