"Even God doesn't propose to judge a man till his last days, why should you and I?" — Dale Carnegie

We live in an era of instant verdicts. Someone makes a mistake and within hours the judgment is final, the sentence delivered, the story closed. But Dale Carnegie — one of history's most practical students of human behavior — asks a question that cuts straight through that impulse: why are we so quick to render permanent verdicts on unfinished lives? This episode unpacks the difference between evaluation and verdict, why premature judgment costs both the judged and the judge, and what it actually takes to hold your assessments loosely enough to let the full story emerge. Because most people are still being written. And closing the book early is almost always a mistake.
