"It got me really angry!" he
stated categorically.
"I know that guy was trying to take
advantage of me!"
And then there was this lady who said:
"My feelings are so hurt! After everything I've done for her she was so
stingy with me!"
What's the common denominator?
Both of these people expected other
people to be just like them!
Yeah, the first guy was a person who
always tried to get his way and the lady was indeed a very generous soul, but
they both got busted by the same flaw …
They really did think everyone was just
like them!
What do ya say?
Does this one fit for you?
Maybe… a little bit?

Carol, thanks for this one. I try to remind myself of this all the time. It's so easy to forget, but it's very true. Also, as a poker player, I know that one of the quickest ways to lose money, and also tear all your hair out, is to assume the person across the table from you plays his or her cards the same way you do... Keep an open mind, and you may leave the table with a full wallet (and head of hair)!
