RULE FOR THE WISE: VERIFY BEFORE YOU BUY

RULE FOR THE WISE: VERIFY BEFORE YOU BUY. Be wary of those who purport to "train" you to do that which they, themselves, have never done; or sell to you what they do not have. Verify before you buy. Patronize, instead, those sellers and "trainers," exemplars of demonstrated proficiency, who having done it, themselves, now, offer their expertise to you. Distrust a "fighter" who has never fought, a "parenting expert" without a child, a "teacher" who has never taught, a marathoner who's not run a mile, a "leader" without a base; a beauty without a face; a claimant without any proof; a roofer without a roof; a marriage counselor without a spouse; a carpenter without a house; an auto mechanic without a car; a pilot without a plane; a lawyer without a license; a physician without a patient; a banker without a bank, etc. This is a general rule for the wise: verify before you buy!
