They might not remember WHEN, WHERE OR FROM WHOM they LEARNED it

    You might LEARN IT but you might not know WHERE YOU LEARNED it.

   You might have LEARNED IT from someone but not remember WHO YOU LEARNED IT FROM.

   PERHAPS you need to LEARN the FACTS about it because you never know if WHERE YOU LEARNED IT OR FROM WHOM YOU LEARNED IT FROM really knew the FACTS or was it just THEIR OPINION.

   I recently was reminiscing with someone about WHAT I LEARNED FROM THEM when I was YOUNGER.

   I proudly TOLD THEM HOW IT HAD INFLUENCED ME.

   Then with WIDE EYES THEY GASPED and told me I COMPLETELY TOOK WHAT THEY SAID THE WRONG WAY.

  They ACTUALLY MEANT THE TOTAL OPPOSITE OF WHAT I THOUGHT THEY MEANT.

   You may have HEARD IT BUT YOU MAY NOT HAVE TRULY UNDERSTOOD WHAT YOU THOUGHT YOU HEARD.

   JUST BECAUSE SOMEONE SAYS IT DOESN'T MAKE IT A FACT, IT'S THEIR OPINION.

   JUST BECAUSE YOU HEARD IT DOESN'T MEAN YOU HEARD IT CORRECTLY.

   I began to think about all the CHOICES AND DIRECTIONS I CHOSE IN MY LIFE based on what I THOUGHT was ACCURATE FACTS I HAD LEARNED FROM THEM.

   ALTHOUGH IT'S TOO LATE NOW to CHANGE HOW IT INFLUENCED ME IN THE PAST, I CAN MAKE INFORMED DECISIONS BASED ON THE ACTUAL FACTS.

   I CAN CLEARLY SEE NOW HOW I WOULD HAVE DONE SOME THINGS DIFFERENTLY.
