DO YOU BELIEVE? OR DO YOU HAVE KNOWLEDGE?

Tuesday, August 28, 2007

-A Tidbit for today. As we continue to be bombarded with information and communcation, I continue to have this thought and share it here. When reading or hearing a statistic, such as, 43% of the population has a can of tuna in their refrigerator, I have learned to question that information. What was the source? If it is meant to be fun, not serious, so be it.

However, when reading a news story or an article that is meant to be factual, if it mentions statistics without mentioning the source or providing verification, from my perspective it will carry no weight whatsoever. Does reading and absorbing information bring you to make decision based on belief or knowledge? If you make a decision based on belief, how solid is that decision. Beliefs come from other people telling you something -- such as your girlfriend/boyfriend is taking advantage of you. You accept that opinion and abandon the relationship.

Consider the source, ask questions, make a decision based on knowledge -- not beliefs.
Hey you all - create a wonderful day!
