THINK

All too often we are quick to repeat some bit of "information" that we have heard somewhere. Some bit of information that we probably don't remember where it came from or who said it in the first place, but we say it as fact because we have heard it before.

I am guilty of this too.

I have been doing my best to not get involved in gossip (something that has been running rampant around our work lately) and my mom recently sent me this:

Something that we have been taught since we were little, "think before you speak". How about if we teach our children this? Give them actual things to think about before they speak, before repeating some bit of information.

Hopefully if we begin doing this now, it will become habit and we won't have to think about thinking, it will become natural and will happen automatically.

What a better place we will live in if we all THINK!
