WHO TOOK THE MONEY IF IT WAS LOCKED IN A SAFE? A TRUE-LIFE STORY

IF YOU SMELLED AND HAD AN ATTITUDE… WOULD YOU WANT TO KNOW? A TRUE-LIFE STORY
If there were something about you that everybody else noticed… But nobody wanted to tell you… WOULD YOU WANT TO KNOW? I would. Because you cannot correct information you never receive. Feedback may be uncomfortable. Remaining unaware can be considerably more expensive. — Richie
