Making A Wise Investment

before embarking on any new endeavor, we typically conduct some form of research in order to make the most informed decisions

in building relationships with people, this process is especially important

while we may be able to perceive some of a person's qualities immediately upon initial interaction, there are some traits and behaviors that will only be exposed under particular circumstances

if we don't have the opportunity to experience those situations, we may not be privy to certain elements of a person's character

we can spare ourselves a lot of frustration and upset by taking the time to thoroughly examine the nature of people with whom we feel inclined to forge bonds before we allow those people access into our sphere

once we have emotionally invested ourselves in another person, a lot of pain can come with realizing that we may not have known the person as well as we thought

as with making any investment, it's wise to fully understand exactly what you're dealing with, including the potential risks

lesson: know what you're getting into.
