Jumping to conclusions
Never jump to conclusions by thinking there is not a way to make millions.
One of the biggest obstacles in problem solving is jumping to conclusions. Many of us tend to jump to conclusions as a habit.
For me it comes from working at the hospital for a number of years and dealing with emergencies. Some of our training was the ability to make quick decisions and take action. However, in everyday life this is not necessary.
The key to doing the right thing is keeping an open mind.
I am working on keeping an open mind when I see people I care about in Steemit quit posting. Some drain all their Steem and then I tend to jump to conclusions by thinking they probably gave up.
At times it can be difficult in here posting and wondering if anyone sees it since they took away the view count.
I know there are some that do not upvote or comment but read posts, like me when I am on my phone. I like to use my laptop for commenting and upvoting instead of my little android phone. Then I get on later and follow up on those posts.
Here is a minute clip to leave you with from the movie, “Office Space” about jumping to conclusions and how to make one million dollars.

BTW: The guy who invented the pet rock made a cool 15 million dollars.
Please leave a comment so I know you were here.
Thank you for stopping by.

Don't worry I am not jumping to any conclusions. haha!
Thank you! :)
It is so easy to jump to conclusions of course, and Steem is getting quieter, but hopefully this run of green markets will continue and some will come back :)
I agree. good times are on their way. Thank you so much for commenting. lol
You rescued me.
MY Pleasure to visit and comment ;)
"Never jump to conclusions by thinking there is not a way to make millions."
wanted to say it would not be jumping to conclusions that i will never make millions, but then i seen a pet rock.
now after trying to find out wtf is a pet rock, i see only one reason why people would by it. And it is the manual about how to care about your pet rock. now i need to find the manual, as it must be hilarious, as it made 15 mil.
@bil.prag LOL I am thinking there can be no manual but you are right.
This Link will take you to a google browser with pdf links you can click for the origina manual. I found this on pinterest

Oh, I have jumped to conclusions myself, although I try really hard not to do it.
It is hard to stay active in a quiet place with fewer to interact with, but, with everything starting to pick up, we may see more action.
As always, I wish you a most wonderful day!

i think it should be sold as a manual, and with it you get a rock :D
Play Dead.
Your PET ROCK will take to this trick
like a duck takes to water. It is one
of the most entertaining tricks a rock
can learn, and a trick that is sure to
get many affectionate laughs and approving glances from you and your
friends.
Take your PET ROCK to its training
area and, when you have its undivided
attention, give the command, PLAY
DEAD. If your rock is like most rocks
it will not have to be told more than
once. Immediately, it will go completely stiff as though rigor mortis has setin, and will remain in this posture
until you give a different command.
lol

Awesome post that got me thinking a few things.
Nobody ever made a million thinking they couldn’t do it.
Also, steem is a marathon and the odds are in our favour because we won’t quit. It is so cool to see people you follow return to posting, and they will.
I too have wondered if I have sherked in my networking and support of friends lately as there seem to be fewer people engaging than before. Just makes me wanna work harder and take the time to visit everyone’s blog.
Great stuff!

I apply the silence trick my friend. As soon as my mind start to wander into the conclusions road, I jerk it back like a dog on a leash. Conclusions costs lost opportunities.
Blessings!
That is a great way to deal with the road to conclusions. Thanks @papilloncharity
Time and time again, what was deemed "impossible" is not.
Just look at the story of the "Impossible 4 minute mile".
Enjoyed your post.
Namaste, JaiChai
So true. One person breaks the barrier and frees others to do the same. Thanks for you comment @jaichai :)
Thought of you and guess what - your recent thoughts are totally welcome here on my end. Too many premature conclusions lately, and they have been getting in my way ;)
Hope you're well and all the best sis!
Thank you for thinking of my that is so cool. I am glad you see what I am saying in this post.

I think any one could make a million because many think they never could. What if it’s not an opportunity to fill the void but to see the bigger picture? How about imagining that there is abundance for everyone to be a millionaire at some point in life and to spend it all? How about on products that deploy green chemistry?

I'm here! I'm here! Imagine when owning 3 Steem will be like owning 3 Bitcoin is today! Better than Pet Rocks. 😉
