The truth is what it is. It’s neither good nor bad. It’s simple reality. 

Tailor your concepts to fit reality, instead of trying to stuff reality into your concepts. No matter what you believe, it won’t change the facts. 

If we all worked on the assumption that what is accepted as true is really true, there would be little hope of advancement in the world. 

Facts do not cease to exist because they are ignored. If fifty-million people say a foolish thing, it’s still a foolish thing. Successful people are realistic and aren’t trapped by false appearances. 

Stay realistic on the road to success.
