Lack of Knowledge

We have all heard the term "When you know better you do better." I've learned that this is not always the case. We are held accountable for what we know. Yet just because we know it doesn't mean that we apply it to everyday life.

We expect others to follow the rules that what we know, even if they don't know it. But we don't always extend the courtesy to others.

I'm sure we have all dealt with people who do not honor their commitments with you until it benefits them. But yet they want you to honor your commitment with them despite if it benefits you or not. Now they know better!

Now the musician I spoke about in first blog is totally clueless. I've come to the conclusion that he just doesn't know any better and he's just spinning his wheels. He doesn't realize that not keeping a schedule and forgetting appointments with potential clients is making him look bad. Although he is a nice person, it makes him look like a bad business man who could care less about others.

Then you have the other scenario where a person really wants to work with you, but only if it's to their advantage. And if it's not....well you're out of luck. In this person, they will sometimes try to get over on you if you're not smart enough to notice. Do they know better? Absolutely.

Despite both types we as people have to continue to not only learn and refine our craft, but also learn to be better people, business men and women, and more interested in how our gifts could help others.

In some areas we might have a little bit of both personalities. But it's who we choose to be and what we choose to do with the knowledge given to us. Let's do better and help others to become better.
