Reading between the Lines

Tweet

What you see is what you get and what you hear is who I am. However, it takes all types to make a world. We are different and interact according to who we really are. Understanding people is fascinating provided, of course, if you want to know them. Some are forthright while others guarded and the few devious that make others circumspect. We prick up our ears and stay alert when someone approaches us out of the blue. Some are smooth talkers and we have to separate the wheat from the chaff. We have to read between the lines to understand what they really mean and the unsaid especially when it comes to investments that promise sky high returns. We are too familiar with those that we ignore under the maxim “if it looks too good to be true, it usually is”. We see through those that are supposed to lead us to a fantasy world and early retirement! We end up adding to their fortune with our hard earned money! Caveat Emptor - Buyer beware - applies to life all the time. When we let down our guard we cannot blame others for our misfortune. I have seen them all and paid the tuition fees for learning the lessons. How about you? Image: Life lessons from Pixabay
