Be Careful of Opinions: Day 8 of 30 Days of Positve!



Thomas Jefferson was the third President of the United States, the principal author of the Declaration of Independence, and one of our most influential Founding Fathers.

A polymath, Jefferson achieved distinction as, among other things, a horticulturist, statesman, architect, archaeologist, paleontologist, author, inventor, and founder of the University of Virginia. What most don't know is that he was considered Legally Deaf! He was offered at that time the "first hearing aid" and he declined, stating- "I don't want others opinions to affect my thinking!"


The key word there is opinions...

Educate yourself, read, pray, observe, always find the truth not the opinion, in all your endeavors.


IF A MILLION PEOPLE SAY SOMETHING FOOLISH, IT'S STILL FOOLISH. TRUTH IS NEVER DEPENDENT UPON CONSENSUS OF OPINION.
