Quote from Edmund Burke.

“Food for thought. To read without reflecting is like eating without digesting.”

Think about today's society when we read something.

There's something Rotary International has, which is called the four-way test, ask these four questions.

If you pass these through a lot of what you read, you'll just realize how crazy everything is.

Number one, is it the truth?

Number two, is it fair to all concerned?

Number three, will it build goodwill and better friendships?

Number four, will it be beneficial to all concerned?

So, the next time you read an article, ask these four questions.

Let me know your thoughts.
