THOUGHT OF THE DAY: Do you think youʼre tough? Then listen up! Todayʼs words of wisdom are especially for you: Tenderness and kindness are not signs of weakness… but signs of strength. When we have a strong sense of self esteem and a strong character, itʼs easy to be kind to others because weʼve earned to be kind to ourselves. Do you remember the following words from Aesopʼs fables? No act of kindness is ever wasted. Today, show some real strength. Be kind to others and allow others to be kind to you. You might be surprised at just how strong you really are. Being educated means a different thing to people. Listen to the words of Norman Cousins, American writer: Respect for the importance of an individualʼs life is still the mark of an educated man. When we show no respect for lives of others… When we are hateful or harmful to others… are we acting with intelligence and wisdom or are we acting out of ignorance? What do you think? German writer and philosopher Goethe says: Nothing is more terrible than ignorance in action. Violent crimes, drug addiction, terrorism… do these things show respect for individual life or does it show “ignorance in action”? Today, remember this: You can help fight crime, violent and ignorance by simple getting the best education possible
