Happy 4th of July!

Happy 4th to my readers.  I hope that you have some sort of independence that you can celebrate.  May your celebration be all that you want it to be, safely.

“Change does not roll in on wheels of inevitability, but comes through continuous struggle.  And so we must straighten our backs and work for our freedom.  A man can’t ride you unless your back is bent.”

~Martin Luther King, Jr

“For to be free is not merely to cast off one’s chains, but to live in a way that respects and enhances the freedom of others.”

~Nelson Mandela

Independent Thinking – Holiday Style

I gave a speech at Toastmasters last night in which I used the line, “independent thinking was prized in our household and words were savored like candy”.

 

“Without moral and intellectual independence, there is no anchor for national independence.”

~ David Ben-Gurion

 

Be open to information, filter it through your own understanding and decide how to make it your own.

 

For all in the U.S. on the eve of a new Independence Day, I hope that you have a Happy and Safe 4th of July holiday.
