It would be a mistake to believe that what you hear, see, or read is fact. It only means that today bias is less obvious and we must be even more astute when searching for the facts necessary for accurate thinking.
Most of people say they.. get their news from television. That means they're inadequately informed, too poorly informed to exercise their rights in a democracy. You cannot give people enough information on the nightly news.
-Walter Cronkite
In the realm of legal procedure there is a principle called the law of evidence, and the object of this law is to get all the facts. Any judge can proceed with justice to all concerned if they have the facts upon which to base their judgement, but they may play havoc with innocent people if they circumvent the law of evidence and reach a conclusion or judgement that is based on hearsay information.
The specific rules of evidence vary according to the subject and circumstances with which they are used, but you will not go far wrong if you follow this rule: If you do not have hand facts to work from, Form judgement on the part of the evidence before you you that furthers your own interests without working any hardship on others and is based on facts.
Many people mistake, knowingly or otherwise, expediency for fact doing something, or refraining from doing it, for the sole reason that their action furthers their own interests without consideration as to whether it interferes with the rights of others.
The accurate thinker deals with facts, regardless of how they affect his or her own interests, for they know that ultimately this policy will bring them out on top, in full possession of the object of their definite chief aim in life, They understand the soundness of the philosophy that Croseues had in mind when he said, "There is a wheel on which the affairs of men revolve, and its mechanism is such that it prevents any man from being always fortunate."
The accurate thinker adopts a standard by which they guide them self, and they follow that standard at all times. The standard is observed as faithfully when it brings temporary disadvantage as it is when it brings outstanding advantage. Using Accurate Thinking, they know that by the law of averages they will more than regain, at some future time, that which is lost when the result of applying this standard is to their own temporary detriment.
You must understand that it requires the staunchest and most unshakable character to become an accurate thinker, for there can be a certain amount of temporary penalty attached to accurate thinking. But the compensating reward is so overwhelmingly greater that you will gladly pay this penalty.
To many a man, and sometimes to a youth, there comes the opportunity to choose between honorable competence and tainted wealth.
The young man who starts out to be poor and honorable, holds in his hand one of the strongest elements of success.
