It is very interesting how the human mind works. We have the need to justify everything, to explain and understand everything, in order to feel safe.

We also make assumptions about ourselves, and this creates a lot of inner conflict. "I think I am able to do this." You make this assumption, for instance, then you discover you aren't able to do it. You overestimate or underestimate yourself because you haven't taken the time to ask yourself questions and to answer them.
~ Miguel Ruiz
The way to keep yourself from making assumptions is to ask questions. Make sure the communication is clear. If you don't understand, ask. Have the courage to ask questions until you are clear as you can be, and even then do not assume you know all there is to know about a given situation.
~ Miguel Ruiz
If others tell us something, we make assumptions, and if they don't tell us something we make assumptions to fulfill our need to know and to replace the need to communicate.

We make all sorts of assumptions because we don't have the courage to ask questions.

No se trata de ir a la caza y captura de desperdicio en el proceso. El paso por las diferentes etapas de este análisis de proceso tiene el propósito de obligarle a examinar y hacer frente a los detalles de un proceso, para que así pueda definir cómo debería operar un proceso.

Indeed, the only truly serious questions are ones that even a child can formulate. Only the most naive of questions are truly serious. They are the questions with no answers.
