Assumptions are the termites of relationships.

Assumptions are the termites of relationships.

Summary

This quote suggests that assumptions can slowly eat away at the foundations of relationships, much like termites that slowly destroy the integrity of a house. When we make assumptions about others, we build walls instead of bridges. Assumptions create misunderstandings, miscommunications, and unrealistic expectations, which can lead to conflict and strain relationships. To cultivate healthy relationships, it is essential to foster open and honest communication, avoiding assumptions and instead seeking clarification and understanding.

One cannot buy, rent or hire more time. The supply of time is totally inelastic. No matter how high the demand, the supply will not go up. There is no price for it. Time is totally perishable and cannot be stored. Yesterday's time is gone forever, and will never come back. Time is always in short supply. There is no substitute for time. Everything requires time. All work takes place in, and uses up time. Yet most people take for granted this unique, irreplaceable and necessary resource.

On Church: Church wasn't designed by an architect (Technically, Jesus was a carpenter.). So why do we think of churches as buildings instead of groups of people who love Jesus?
