I have a rule in research: The third time you hear something, it's generally true.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The first time you say something, it's heard. The second time, it's recognized, and the third time it's learned.
So often people say something and you realise you haven't really heard it.
You have to be determined, and be able to accept, 'No.' I've heard, 'No,' a thousand times, and I've heard, 'Yes,' a handful of times.
First thing every morning before you arise say out loud, 'I believe,' three times.
You hear certain things, negative things, all the time that aren't true, but you never hear about the positive.
I've always been able to hear and read what I say before I say it. That's why I'm a good quote. Or a good interview. If I say something that's uncomfortable for someone's ears, it's going to be the truth; I just happen to voice it. But it's the truth. It's not my opinion.
It takes two to speak the truth: one to speak, and another to hear.
Popular opinions, on subjects not palpable to sense, are often true, but seldom or never the whole truth.
If you have an anecdote from one source, you file it away. If you hear it again, it may be true. Then the more times you hear it the less likely it is to be true.
The third time you say a thing it sounds like a lie.
