True or False?




In English please:


“He who laughs last, enjoys his laugh the most” – this saying, if you are familiar with it carries a tale of childhood for me. It was used as a comment to scorn the person who laughed at you for whatever reason and as you left the scene you would say something of the sort back to them.

It created a situation where really, the last person to laugh could really not be determined. Something happens to me - you laugh at me, then I wait… Something happens to you, I really laugh at you, saying “See I told who get to laugh now” – then you wait and something happens to me and you really laugh and so it goes.

This is a childhood concept that drove me around the bend- we sometimes neglect to think of the things we tell or say around kids. But if you think back of what you were told as a kid and how frustrating it was to discover the ‘truth’ later and wonder as to why you were told those things.

I recalled a teacher in year 3 or 4, explain to us in Geography about Thunder. The teacher said, “Thunder is caused by heavy clouds that bang against each other, that are the sounds they make”. Of course this as far from the ‘truth’ as one could get but to a young mind it seem very real and true.

False information and wrong information is a major headache to anyone. But really how can one sort out the false information from the true information.

In the book the Way To Happiness, among a number of other references, L. Ron Hubbard will give you a tool to use and its use never runs out, unless you of course enjoy having false data.

Precept* number 17 “Be Competent” (view video below), has a sub heading 17-2 “learn”
And in this it will give you the basic tools to learn especially in spotting false data.
Have a read of it.

*Precept; principle: a rule, instruction, or principle that guides somebody's actions, especially one that guides moral behavior – MS Encarta®

According to research at an english university, it doesn't matter in what order the letters
in a word are, the only important thing is that the first and last letter is at the right place.
The rest can be a total mess and you can still read it without problem.
This is because we do not read every letter by it self but the word as a whole.

In Gobbledygook please:

"He who lguahs lsat, eyojns his lguahs the most" - tihs siyang, if you are fimailar wtih it careirs a tlae of chhdliood for me. It was uesd as a comnemt to srocn the posren who lguahed at you for wetahver rsaeon and as you left the scnee you wluod say smohtenig of the srot back to tehm.

It crtaeed a stiauoitn wrehe raelly, the lsat peosrn to lguah colud relaly not be deteimrend. Somihteng heppans to me - you lguah at me, then I wiat… Stemonihg hpaepns to you, I rlaely laguh at you, saniyg "See I tlod who get to luagh now" - then you wiat and stemoihng hpaneps to me and you relaly laguh and so it goes.

This is a cdlihoohd ccnoept taht dorve me auornd the bdne- we soitemems ngeelct to tnihk of the tgnihs we tell or say anuord kids. But if you thnik back of what you wree tlod as a kid and how fsurtarting it was to docsievr the 'tturh' letar and wednor as to why you wree tlod tohse tnihgs.

I rlaceled a thcaeer in yaer 3 or 4, epxialn to us in Goearghpy aobut Thdnuer. The taecehr siad, "Thunedr is csuaed by hvaey cduols taht bang aniagst ecah ohter, taht are the suodns tehy mkae". Of csruoe tihs as far form the 'turth' as one could get but to a ynuog mnid it seem vrey real and true.

Fslae inroftamion and wrnog irofnitamon is a mojar hecadahe to aynone. But rlaely how can one srot out the fslae iofntamroin form the ture iofnmraoitn.

In the book the Way To Hippasens, aomng a numebr of otehr rfenereces, L. Ron Hubbard wlil give you a tool to use and its use neevr rnus out, uelnss you of cruose eojny hnivag fasle dtaa.

Prceetp* nbmuer 17 "Be Cmoepnett" (eivw vedio bleow), has a sub hdaenig 1-72 "leran"
And in tihs it wlil give you the basic tools to lraen epsecailly in sttoping flase dtaa.
Have a raed of it.
