It was one of the biggest and most important lessons I learned: not to judge a book by its cover. . In his book “Didn’t See It Coming,” Carey Nieuwhof says this: “If you listen longer than most people listen, you’ll hear things most people never hear.”. You literally do not know about anyone’s finances unless they tell you.
