You need to guess less and think omre.

You need to guess less and think more.

Now, how does that _really_ differ from what I said?

Well, I think this is an excellent idea. However, in keeping with
the very simple concept of "puting your money where you mouth is", I
wait for those who proclaim a principle to apply it to themselves.
Anybody can expound on some principle he wants _others_ to apply,
but if you refrain from applying it to yourself, you communicate a
quality of the advice given that is extremely unflattering: If it
isn't good enough for yourself, why should anyone take your advice?
| That's when they will often start to respect you at a deeper level.
| (That's my reality anyway, hope it will be yours too one day!).
It amazes me that you start off your "respectful" message with a
disrespectful grin, instead of just _doing_ what you recommend.
Such hypocrisy is utterly _disgusting_ to watch. Just quit it.
