Wisdom?
Honesty is the first chapter in the book of wisdom.
Thomas Jefferson
Here is a small story about the little lies in life that just don’t work out:
A woman rushed into a butcher shop at the end of the day. “I need a chicken to cook for dinner this evening,” she said.
“Well, you’re in luck,” the butcher replied. “I have a nice little bird right here. It weighs two pounds.”
The woman frowned. “That’s not quite large enough. Do you have another?”
The butcher walked into the freezer, muttering under his breath. He emerged moments later with the same chicken. “There’s also this one. It weighs three pounds.”
The woman fingered through the money in her purse and said, “Alright then, I’ll take both.”
The butcher turned red. He had only the one small chicken and a lot of explaining to do! He’d just learned the hard way that even the tiniest white lies have consequences.

The cost of kindness
A smile can be quite nice,
And sometimes a good word will suffice,But an act of kindness has no price,
So why not spend it twice?

Are you a dumb person?
Whenever you leave behind failure that means you’re doing better. If you think everything you’ve done has been great, you’re probably dumb.
Louis CK
Make mistakes, admit mistakes, remember mistakes.

Go for it!
A life spent making mistakes is not only more honourable, but more useful than a life spent doing nothing.
George Bernard Shaw
I do not care what it is that you love, I do not care what your passions are. I dare you, nay, I double-dare you to pursue your dreams and not to be afraid of failure.
Embrace failure, enjoy your learning process and start over again!
