contention

The prevalence of a spirit of contention amongst a people is a certain sign of deadness with respect to the things of religion. When men's spirits are hot with contention, they are cold to religion. - Jonathan Edwards “The Book of Mormon does not supplant the Bible. It expands, extends, clarifies, and amplifies our knowledge of the Savior. Surely, this second witness should be cause for great rejoicing by all Christians.” - Joseph B. Wirthlin

The decisive element

 “I have come to the frightening conclusion that I am the decisive element.  It is my daily mood that makes the weather.  I possess tremendous power to make a life miserable or joyous…if we treat people as they are, we make them worse.  If we treat people as they ought to be we help them BECOME what they are capable of BECOMING”

 JOHANN WOLFGANG VON GOETHE

Ignorance of the educated

avoid crowds going in the wrong direction

More advice for everyone interested in the Book of Mormon (and other topics).

Prof. Feynman
It is a lot better to walk alone than with a crowd going in the wrong direction.

Never regret a day in your life; good days give happiness, bad days give experiences, worst days give lessons, and best days give memories.

If you cannot be corrected without being offended, then you’ll never truly grow in life.

• Do what interests you the most. • Spend time with nature. • Ask questions. • Never stop learning. • Don't pay attention to what others think of you. • Read everyday. • Study hard. • Teach others what you know. • Make mistakes and learn. • It's Okay to not know things!
