Marketing of products has become EVIL. It's more evil than you may know.
I know more than most, and I'm sure I don't know the half of it.
You in the business?
In reference to your post. I'm like you in that "I'm sure I don't know the half of it."
I'm over 60. Still always learning and discerning and I still make mistakes. I like to think of it as keeping me on my toes. One thing I've learned is that my 'Horse sense' (as my electrical Engineering professor used call it), has gone from being wrong a lot of the time when I young TO BEING surprisingly less wrong as I got older. Some people may call this evolution 'wisdom'. I like to think of it stemming from a lot of honed practice. To me to be wise, I'd have to live as old as a Noah or Enoch to be wise. Maybe I'm being humble here.
So, one thing I learned from my wife, was when speaking rhetorically, use the word 'One' instead of 'You'. It didn't take many slaps to my face to learn this. One has to learn from their mistakes, no?
:-)
I'm not quite as old as you yet but I'm getting up there. I have also learned to trust my gut instincts which have proven over the years to be much more right then wrong.
One has senses one is not aware of. :-D
