Daily Deliberation: 19 June 2020
Think about if we took our parents advice and ate an apple a day or learned something new everyday. Imagine the benefits of that. Would it make us the smartest or healthiest person on the planet? Probably not, but we will certainly not be worse off. Now, what if we drank three sodas and watched…

This is very true. Who we surround ourselves with and what we read shape us. What are some of your favorite quotes?
