Day 45 ~ Instinct

Although the word "instinct" sounds as something innate, I think of it as a skill that can be cultivated. I have a tendency to read people well, to not make mistakes about others' intentions, which has served me many times. Today seemed easy to me, but others didn't see it so clear. I could have accepted business from someone who didn't follow the regular channels to present himself. He reasoned that he was new to the country. Business was slow, so it could have tempted me. But it didn't. I didn't give it a second thought, I was simply not going to do it. Other times, when the situation is not as clear-cut as it was today, serve as practice to hone the skill.
