Beware of these...

Below are something that we ought to be careful about:

“Beware of false knowledge; it is more dangerous than ignorance.” - George Bernard

“Beware of him that is slow to anger; for when it is long coming, it is the stronger when it comes, and the longer kept. Abused patience turns to fury.” - Francis Quarles

“Beware of the friend who was once your foe.” - Proverb

"Beware of the man who knows the answer before he understands the question." - Anonymous

"The people to fear are not those who disagree with you, but those who disagree with you and are too cowardly to let you know." - Joe Moore

What do you think? Do share other cases that you think one need also to beware of by posting a comment.

Hi There

I believe something that relates to the "false Knowledge" quote are the Phone in Scams on TV.

I believe that viewers should push the advantage now that they realize that they are being fed false information by the Broadcaster.

Hope You're having a great day

Hi Rednose,

Thanks for your thoughts!

Frankly, I also do not trust those "Phone-In To Win TV programme" showing over here. There is no way one can validate to tell whether the broadcaster really answer the 100th call or just get somebody to answer the call to make money from the premium phone charges.

Indeed, there are many false information circulating via e-mail as well.

Have a nice weekend!
Best Wishes

VERY nice Sam!

My experience is that we need to listen to those challenges we each face and beware of them...

I like the word... "beware."

It is not about fear it is more about mindfulness... very important distinction IMO!

Thanks Sam... hope your day is a great one!

Hi Jennifer,
Yup... we need to spend time to reflect and ponder over those challenges that we face everyday and beware of them.

Great insight about the distinction between fear and mindfulness.

Thanks for sharing your experience.

Have a nice day, Jennifer.
