A Lesson I've learned the hard way || 30DWC || Day 24

A written contract is better than a verbal one.

Replace "contract" with promise, result, will, document, etc.

I would not go into specifics so as to protect the identities of some of the actors involved.

So...a few years ago, I needed a certain certification to move to the next level at the time and I thought I had satisfied all the conditions needed and had even extracted a "verbal" commitment that I had been given already.

To cut the long story short, I had to go through considerable strain and traumatic episodes due to a lack of a written evidence of the commitment made by the parties involved.

This singular incident has left me with one of my sternest lessons.
