Case 18: Dilemma

Sylvia made two mistakes. First, she accepted as fact a comment that was not authenticated and could easily have been a rumor. Her second mistake was more serious: she permitted the possible rumor to disturb her emotionally, to the point where it noticeably hurt her productivity.

If this was what happened, Sylvia permitted a simple rumor to do the greatest possible damage to her future.
