About This Quote

The most common and dangerous misconception is that it is impossible for someone to be stupid just because they are a doctor or a lawyer. Even though a person may have a highly-educated job, it does not mean they cannot make mistakes. Some people make silly decisions because they lack the knowledge to make educated decisions. For example, one time I was at the grocery store and saw some orange juice on sale for $2.00 per bottle.

I grabbed four bottles and headed home with them, assuming it would be a good idea to drink up all four at once in order to save money. Of course, I did not stop to think that I might not like the taste of the juice and that I might get sick from drinking four bottles of it all at once. I got home and found that I did not like the taste of any of them and did get sick from drinking all four bottles at once.

While this example may seem silly, there are many other situations where you can lose out on something nice if you do not take the time to really assess your options beforehand.
