I will be the first to tell you that I don't post things like this too often; however today I feel compelled.
I find it interesting that people are so quick to make judgment with little to no facts. Its amusing to me that so many are powerless to use their own education and think on their own. I'm very disappointed that my children will not hear the President of the United States of America encourage them to understand that failure makes you stronger, and to make your failures teach you. To hear that only through being responsible for your own education and using the tools provided will you learn to be more successful.
It happens time and time again, that people don't stop for a minute and think about what they are thinking. I know to some of you that won't make sense and that's ok. When you take a minute to think about what your thinking then you may actually figure out that you weren't thinking at all.
Personally, when I've made bad decisions in haste, I've often times forgotten to think. Thoughts about who I'm impacting, what the repercussions are, and why I'm choosing to make that impact. If people thought more, would there maybe be less crime?
Together we are all people, not matter our background, our education, or our intelligence. The decisions we make everyday not only impact our own lives but they act as a chain reaction to the lives around us. Common sense, thoughts, and caring about others can make a big difference. So I provoke you to think before you act and truly consider your impact on yourself, your family and your world... It may actually make you a smarter person.
For those who called your school to prevent your child from being brain washed. I hope that one day your child too will be educated in a manner that helps them be successful. Maybe one day they will be more open to thought. Thoughts not based on fear, but thoughts grown and designed from the information which they are presented. I know that I'd be ashamed if I'd had called the school then read the speech that was to be given.
One definition of "Prejudice": An adverse judgment or opinion formed beforehand or without knowledge or examination of the facts.
I recall learning in school that you should never judge a book by its cover; maybe you were out that day.
love me, hate me; but please think about it before you choose...
