"I have lived in this world just long enough to look carefully the second time into things that I am most certain of the first time"

This quote by Josh Billings speaks to the value of taking a second look at things that we are certain of. It recommends that we must not take anything for granted and that we should constantly be open to re-examining our beliefs and assumptions. It encourages us to be unbiased and to question our own certainties. It likewise indicates that we need to not be too fast to judge or make assumptions about individuals or scenarios. We should make the effort to look more deeply into things before making any decisions. This quote is a pointer that we need to always be willing to look at things from different point of views and to be available to originalities and possibilities. It is a pointer that we must never ever be too sure of ourselves which we need to constantly be willing to learn and grow.
