Which of these do you trust and rely on most?

[Hedi Mitchell]

Perhaps there should be a vote on this.. IDK
What, Not who, do you rely on most for any and everything you do, think, eat and feel?

Your own experience
Your gut feeling
What you read
What you see
What you hear
What you think
Pick only 2

 

[Ken Anderson]

My experience and what I think, because I weigh everything else against what makes sense to me.

 

[Beth Gallagher]

My answer is, "it depends."

 

[Tony Nathanson]

Gut Feeling
What I think

 

[Marie Miller]

It depends. I can be the impulse buyer from hell. Did I need a new kitchen table? Absolutely no. Did I research every provider on my recent medical circus run? Absolutely no. Will I give the proverbial shirt away? Done it too often.
I can research something down to the gnats rear and drill through websites and legal jambalaya. It was a good run professionally but I am tired of it. Does something make sense? What does SO say who is the methodical side of our equation.

 

[John Brunner]

My experience and my gut. I was gonna go with "what you think," but I can over-analyze.

 

[Bobby Cole]

Just experience.
All the other options are inclusive with experience.

With experience I know how much to trust a gut feeling and with that same experience I know that what I read, see and hear can at times be faulty information and not an absolute truth.

What I think ultimately comes from experience which, in its simplest form amounts to measuring all things including the aforementioned assets twice, or thrice and cutting once.
And lastly, experience has also taught me that when (not if but when) I do not take the time to measure things correctly, the action I take will generally end up with some highly undesirable consequences, which, is more frequent lately than I care to acknowledge.

 

[Shirley Martin]

What I read and what I think about what I read.

 

[John Wick]

I use my trusty smartphone and AI.

NOT!!!

 

[Madge Bumstead]

Gut feeling and overall thinking.

 

[Jacqueline Lindt]

My gut feeling

[Von Jones]

my own experiences @Bobby Cole I liked your reasoning behind your answer.
my gut feelings

 

[Connie Bennett]

In the world of horses, which has been my entire life, the saying “always go with your gut” prevails. Which I do and it is synonymous with my life’s experiences.

Little wonder one of my favorite phrases is “that don’t make sense to a jacka-s-s”
