I tend to go with my gut half the time.
I am an accountant by training and I am supposed to be detail oriented, methodical and analytical and I can evaluate situations using numbers all day long and I can make decisions on that basis.
However, I use gut instinct to make decisions more often that I would ordinarily admit, but, and this is the important qualifier, I only follow gut reactions NOT to do something. Sometimes you see a lousy option or suggestion or deal or proposal and based on my years of experience I just say no, it is wrong, it stinks, etc..
Right off the bat.
And I am usually right.
Maybe some of this comes from growing up as a street kid in the Bronx where you learn to use your sixth sense in order to avoid conflict or “touchy’ situations. I don’t know.
