Six Mistakes of Man

Outlined by the Roman Statesman Cicero

(1) The delusion that personal gain is made by crushing others.
(2) The tendency to worry about things that cannot be changed or corrected.
(3) Insisting that a thing is impossible because we cannot accomplish it.
(4) Refusing to set aside trivial preferences.
(5) Attempting to compel others to believe and live as we do.
(6) Neglecting the development of mind and soul. Not developing the habit of reading and study.

    Dom-

    You are truely a great friend and have such positive ways to inspire people. I came across your website by accident, not knowing that you were putting a lot of “good” to use. Of course, why should I be surprised, this is just who you are. You give all of yourself to those who want to be helped. Thank you for being there for me.
