Do you think it's fair to blame the victim, especially when you have
zero facts?
============================
Everything has facts and the applicable facts vary according to the
person's perspective. If there are ten facts, you may care about eight
of them and I care about eight of them...the difference is, the two that
you don't care about are included on the list of those that I do.
I said it was my opinion. My opinion is based on my perception of facts
that are important to me. EVERYONE makes a decision on the
interpretation of the facts as they see them and based on what's
important to them.
Don't loose sight of the topic of this thread...it is the basis for
which facts are applied and which facts are immaterial.
When you are interviewing, what you say is interpreted by the person
listening, so avoid anything that can be interpreted in a way counter to
what you want. Remember the four realities.
"Impossible is just a big word
thrown around by small men
who find it easier to live in a world
they've been given than to explore
the power they have to change it.
Impossible is not a fact...it's an opinion
Impossible is nothing"
