Overcaution is as bad as no caution. It makes other people suspicious.

If you expect others to have confidence in you, you must conduct yourself in a way that inspires trust. Being so cautious that you never try anything new will damage your credibility just as much as will throwing all caution to the winds and trying any idea that comes along without thinking it through. (Most people equate any kind of extreme behavior with poor judgment.) But don't fall victim to "analysis paralysis." Learn to separate facts from opinions and make sure your decisions-and your subsequent actions-are based on reliable information. Then take action!

On this day in 1989

On this day I became much more tolerant
On this day I came to understand unconditional love
On this day I became more responsible
On this day my goals changed forever
On this day the world became a much different place
On this day I became more appreciative
On this day I grew as a man
On this day I saw life in a new light
On this day I became a better person
On this day I learned to cry
After this day nothing would ever be the same, Mom
I only wish I could have learned all things without losing you…
