Wise Action, Not Knowledge, Is Power

Investors often learn so much that they think they can consistently predict course of stock market. In reality, there are probably fewer than ten old investors that have never lost money. Wise investors know that best they can do is get odds in their favor, so they'll have more wins than losses. You have to see limitations of knowledge.

I was on a tele-seminar recently with International Health Coach Jeremy Likness and he asked a very interesting question about Trust.

We were talking about individuals finding mentors and trusting their mentors enough to pay for their services or to teach them what they wanted (need) to know.

The question caught me off guard because truth of matter was I hadn't really given sufficient thought to what TRUST really was in world of self improvement, personal development and finding mentors because I just trust people. Well, until they prove otherwise...

First of all a mentor is...

men·tor - A wise and trusted counselor or teacher.

Second of all trust is...

trust - Firm reliance on integrity, ability, or character of a person or thing.

With that cleared up...

After I got off call I realized that I should have explained that every time I met a person that did not trust me, it was THEY and not me who were not trust worthy!

Now before you go and say, "Well that's a generalization Rasheed!" Let me explain this:

People who give trust, CAN be trusted. People who do not trust others are NOT trust worthy. It's that simple and I don't need some Forrester Research or Harvard to tell me that!
