Watch The News
I mentioned a few posts back about being a bit careful about the news. I think I failed to mention just how important watching the news really is. Or reading it online or in a newspaper.
Knowing and understanding the important issues of the day not only helps keep your mind sharp and bright, but also can help protect you. The news is quick to issue a report on a bad guy. They may get their facts mixed or miss a few details, but knowing what to look for can make the difference between being caught unawares and making the right choice at the right time.
As always, look with a critical eye at what is being reported, but by all means don’t ignore the world around you. All too often the difference between trouble and smooth sailing is information.
