Never Judge Too Fast — The Danger of “Assume”
Friends, sometimes in life, things are not what they look like.
We see something… and we assume the rest.
But remember — when you Ass-U-Me,
you might make a donkey 🫏 out of you and me! 😄
Today’s story is a real eye-opener —
a story of a father, a doctor, and a powerful lesson on assumptions.
🎬 THE STORY
It happened one day in Nagpur.
A young top executive rushed into a hospital carrying his little son in his arms.
His son had met with a serious accident and was fighting for his life.
The father was in shock, fear, and pain.
Inside the hospital, nurses took the boy into the operation theatre.
But the main surgeon hadn’t arrived yet.
Minutes felt like hours.
The father was angry and shouting —
“What kind of hospital is this? My son is dying and your main doctor is missing!
I’ll complain to the management!”
After a few moments, a doctor came running in, still catching his breath.
But before he could even speak, the father yelled again —
“You’re late! My son is between life and death, and you’re walking in casually?
I’ll make sure you’re punished for this!”
The doctor didn’t say a single word.
He quietly went inside the operation theatre.
After some time, the light outside the OT turned green.
The doctor came out, tired but calm, and said softly —
“Your son is fine now. He’s out of danger. You can meet him soon.”
And before the father could say anything,
the doctor walked away quickly.
The father, still angry, said —
“What an arrogant man! He didn’t even stop to explain or talk properly.”
That’s when the junior doctor standing nearby said —
“Sir… maybe you don’t know.
That surgeon’s own son died in an accident yesterday.
He just came straight from the cremation ground —
only to save your son’s life.”
The father froze. His anger turned into silence.
Tears rolled down his eyes.
He realized how wrongly he had judged that man.
🎯 THE LESSON — THE DANGER OF “ASSUME”
This story teaches us one powerful truth:
Never assume before you know the full story.
The father assumed the doctor was careless,
but in reality, that doctor was the most committed person in the room.
👉 “Ass” means donkey 🫏
👉 “U” means you
👉 “Me” means me 😄
So when we Ass-U-Me,
we make a donkey out of you and me!
Every time we jump to conclusions —
we close our eyes to compassion, empathy, and truth.
✨ KEY TAKEAWAYS
1️⃣ Don’t mix emotions with judgment.
What you see is not always the full story.
2️⃣ Never assume intentions.
People may be fighting silent battles you know nothing about.
3️⃣ Separate personal and professional life.
Like Jim Rohn said —
“When you’re at work, be at work.
When you’re at home, be at home. Don’t mix the two.”
4️⃣ Replace assumption with understanding.
Because understanding heals, but assumption hurts.
🎬 CLOSING
So my dear friends,
next time you feel like judging someone — pause for a moment.
Maybe, just maybe… there’s a story behind their silence.
And remember —
when you Ass-U-Me,
you might make a donkey out of you and me! 😄

Each one will make you laugh, think, and reflect a little deeper.
Until then —
Don’t assume.
Just observe.
And keep learning every single day. 🌿✨
