Reading the hearts of the people you interact is one of the best ways to knowing people; for judging people by appearances and actions alone does not truly tell a person’s true nature. People who make quick judgment of others by impression and actions are truly naive. What can be sweet and charming can be dangerous and deadly.
Reading the hearts of the people you interact involves keen observation. Their traits, standards, use of words, expression, actions, judgments, ideology are things that need to be observed. Question and test the people. Doing those will help you reveal the true nature of people.
Many have fallen trap to friendly looking people. Just because someone seems nice or do nice deeds isn’t enough to know them. Never base anything under assumption. The hearts of people can be totally different from their external appearances and actions. By all means take precaution.
There are too many stories of betrayals; people who trusted the wrong person that ended up losing everything. Most of the time, they assumed too much on people’s appearances and their deceptive actions. Some people who aren’t decent looking can be more trustworthy and knowledgeable than others. Some people who doesn’t preach about righteousness and can be more righteous than the one preaching it. Know the heart, to know the person. Only then will your business will start to get somewhere.
