It is our choices…that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities. – J. K. Rowling

Was the quote I thought of this morning after a email conversation with an Real Estate Agent from Alabama who truly has not fully read an email reply I had send her this morning.

How many times have we caught ourselves reading a portion of an emails, making assumptions on what the rest of the email will tell us, jumping to, possible the wrong, conclusions and after reading an email again, but this time in full, we were glad not to replied in haste and making a full out of our self’s?

I have caught myself several times. It happens especially when I have an email to read that is the length of a novel.

I had to go back several time to read it over and over again to understand the full meaning of what the author was trying to tell me. Sometimes I had to break the email down into small bit size pieces to make since of it.

Note of self;

When writing an email. Keep is short, sweet and to the point.

When reading lengthy emails, take your time and maybe ready it more than once. You might either miss something or misunderstand something.
