More From Tavis Smiley

If others tell us something we make assumptions, and if they don't tell us something we make assumptions to fulfill our need to know and to replace the need to communicate. even if we hear something and we don't understand we make assumptions about what it means and then believe the assumptions. we make all sorts of assumptions because we don't have the courage to ask questions.
Believe Mean Needs
We have a tendency to make assumptions about everything! the problem with making assumptions is that we believe they are truth. we could swear they are real. we make assumptions about what others are doing or thinking-we take it personally-then we blame them and react by sending emotional poison in our word. that is why whenever we make assumptions, we're asking for problems. we make assumptions, we misunderstand, we take it personally, and we end up creating a whole big drama for nothing.
Spiritual Real Drama
For attractive lips, speak words of kindness. for lovely eyes, seek out the good in people. for a slim figure, share your food with the hungry. for beautiful hair, let a child run their fingers through it once a day. for poise, walk with the knowledge that you never walk alone. people, more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed, and redeemed. remember, if you ever need a helping hand, you will find one at the end of each of your arms. as you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands, one for helping yourself and the other for helping others.

Action Study Assumption
A sermon is a valuable thing now and so impressive when you do hear a good one - and there is a lot of failure in the attempt; it's a difficult form - is because it's so seldom true now that you hear people speak under circumstances where they assume they are obliged to speak seriously and in good faith, and the people who hear them are assumed to be listening seriously and in good faith.
People Listening Assuming
