…with Gary Moss

Many people waste a lot of time in a state of confusion. Some of those people give up and walk away because their pride and stubbornness won’t allow them to ask questions. Generally, they don’t want to look bad or feel foolish.

I see this all the time. Club #350 players are all striving to improve their word power. Hence, many words played during a session are outside the range of common words that appear in the daily newspapers. Passersby will glance at our boards, appear to be puzzled, and then scurry away. Sometimes they’ll stop and comment, “That’s not a REAL word.”

We don’t know what we don’t know.

Men, in general, have the reputation for not stopping to ask directions. Some men would rather spend an extra hour or more driving around, searching for their destination, than stopping and asking for directions. What is that? Male pride? Male stubbornness? I guess that’s why some woman invented the GPS navigation system.

Men don’t hold an exclusive lock on ‘misunderstanding’. I’ve eaten a few meals prepared by queens of the kitchen who insisted that they knew the recipe, and how to prepare the ingredients. I’ve choked down my share of things.

But I am here today to give you permission and encourage you to ask questions when you don’t understand. But, only ask those question to someone who is knowledgeable.

There is nothing worse than receiving bad answers from novices when there are experts available to provide better information. Would you go to a hair salon to purchase a hammer?

In today’s computerized world with all of its search engines, the answers are all at hand. In today’s world of specialization, there are experts available to you on most any subject.

There is someone out there who can help you clear up any misunderstandings that plague you.
