“Vote for the man who promises least; he'll be the least disappointing.”
— Bernard M. Baruch

Simplified Meaning:
When you vote for someone who doesn’t make big promises, you’re less likely to be let down. This is because big promises are often hard to keep, and if they can't keep them, we feel disappointed. Imagine you're at a restaurant, and a waiter says you’ll get your food in five minutes and it arrives after twenty - you’d be upset. But if the waiter says it might take twenty minutes and the food comes on time, you’re satisfied. It's about managing expectations. Choosing leaders who don’t overpromise can lead to fewer disappointments because they're more likely to deliver what they said they would. So, when voting, look for those who are realistic and straightforward rather than those who just say what you want to hear.
