In this motivational monologue, Coach Raphael Djine warns that guessing instead of thinking is a lazy habit that leads to poor outcomes in personal and professional life. He illustrates the danger of guesswork through everyday scenarios—suspecting a spouse of infidelity, worrying about a missing friend, doubting a worker’s honesty—showing how unfounded assumptions waste time, create anxiety, and can even endanger health. Djine urges listeners to replace guessing with deliberate, fact‑based thinking, to ask direct questions, and to adopt a broader, ‘roof‑view’ perspective. The core message is that success requires conscious, analytical thought rather than idle speculation.

Okay, number 29, guessing instead of thinking. Be one of the person that like to think and not just guessing. Think, think for a change. Don't just guess. Don't just guessing. A matter of fact, those that like to guess are the lazy people. That's the truth. Oh. Now my husband is not here at 5, I mean at 7. I guess he's kissing somebody. Guess. Why don't you call him and find out? Hey honey, where are you? Is everything okay? Oh, my wife just left on Sunday. That means she's having an affair. Well, I just came home, my wife is not here. Call her. She can be in an emergency room, and you are spending your time guessing and almost killing yourself. Oh, my friend hasn't called me for 3 days. I guess he's gossiping against me. Oh, this never happened this way. I guess I didn't see my worker today. I guess he probably stole money from me. All those kind of guessing. Think. Learn how to stop and think and never guess. What does this mean? What is going on? What exactly happened? Think. Go through the roof. The roof. As a man think. As a man think. I never hear as a man guess. I guess if you are guessing instead of thinking, that's why maybe you may have a poor result. Because you can't guess your way through life. You have to think and look things way from the roof.
