“Assumptions are dangerous things to make, and like all dangerous things to make- bombs for instance, or strawberry shortcake- if you make even the tiniest mistake you can find yourself in terrible trouble. Making assumptions simply means believing things are a certain way with little or no evidence that shows you are correct, and you can see how this can lead to terrible trouble. For instance, one morning you might wake up and make the assumption that your bed was in the same place that it always was, even though you would have no real evidence that this was so. But when you got out of your bed, you might discover that it has floated out to sea, and now you would be in terrible trouble all because of the incorrect assumption that you'd made. You can see that it is better not to make too many assumptions, particularly in the morning.”●“The expression "Making a mountain out of a molehill" simply means making a big deal out of something that is actually a small deal, and it is easy to see how this expression came about. Molehills are simply mounds of earth serving as condominiums for moles, and they have never caused anyone harm except for maybe a stubbed toe if you were walking around the wilderness without any shoes on. Mountains, however, are very large mounds of earth and are constantly causing problems. They are very tall, and when people try to climb them they often fall off, or get lost and die of starvation. Sometimes, two countries fight over who really owns a mountain, and thousands of people have to go to war and come home grumpy or wounded. And, of course, mountains serve as homes to mountain goats and mountain lions, who enjoy attacking helpless picnickers and eating sandwiches or children. So when someone is making a mountain out of a molehill, they are pretending that something is as horrible as a war or a ruined picnic when it is really only as horrible as a stubbed toe.”- Lemony Snicket ●"Know people that make a fuss over small details? We all do. They will fight tooth and nail over whether to use size 11 or 12 font for the company newsletter. They will argue all day about whether the toilet roll should be put on with the paper coming down at the back or down the front. They will make a mountain out of a molehill. They are a pain in the ass.
Why do they do it? Who knows, who cares? The delicacy of their ego is not your concern. You can’t change them, as much as you’d like to. Don’t get drawn in to their pettiness. Don’t play their game. Inhale, exhale, and allow yourself to just… let go."- http://presentoutlook.com/
