...have you thought about it...

...just didn’t think. it happens so often. many situation goes wrong not because people are ignorant, but because they just don’t stop to think for a moment or two. an awkward situation has arisen which could have been prevented by a few minutes thinking. get the habit of putting yourself in the other mans shoes before you open your mouth. it certainly takes a little effort, but the results are worth it every time...

look before you leap. lol.

sometimes it's amazing how even 1 minute calmness can change a decision, to a better one.

Yeah man, most suffer from thinking-disability syndrome. they can't think. or is it because they don't read?

i find that most people don't read, they make assumption and sometimes could even add a comment or two. amazing...

read the book "blink", which talks about "snap judgments"...i.e. don't overthink a situation; instead, learn how to listen to your initial reaction/instinct; chances are it is always right!
