INSIGHTS for SUCCESS
In a world crowded by fuzzy-minded advertisements, political propaganda, and fake news, success in life increasingly requires the development of abilities to see through confusing, misleading, and potentially self-destructive “appearances.”
“It’s more necessary than ever before to ensure that discernment and the development of a critical mind guide our take on the world and inform our relationship to the media and information.” (Najat Vallaud-Belkacem)
“We need discernment in what we see and what we hear and what we believe.” (Charles R. Swindoll)
