Our vision is more obstructed by what we think we know than by our lack of knowledge.
Kristen Stendahl
There are a lot of things we are sure about, things we won’t discuss because we just know them. But we have to be careful about those things. It is rare that anything is easily classified right or wrong and one should always be flexible and open to change.

Everyone you will ever meet knows something you don’t.

Well maybe not literally everyone know something you really want to know, but that does not matter. What matters is the idea to listen carefully. Always be open to people and their stories and never think you know enough. Breath information and knowledge like you breath air after a long dive!

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.
