Sometimes...

Sometimes you don't want to be right about things. Searching for a good friend that dropped off for example. Of course you get that bad feeling in the back of your mind, in the pit of your stomach, but you try to remain optimistic. Looking into a job offer that comes along. Maybe it's an amazing offer, maybe it's the right offer at the right time.

The pessimistic side of our brain of course will always tell us the worst has happened, that job offer is bogus, that employee is stealing from the company, that dating profile is fake, etc. 

Neither side of our brain is wrong, it's our job to find out which is true to the best of our abilities. We may not like the answer that we find, however we owe it to ourselves (and if you are working for someone, others) to uncover the truth.
