give up all your preconceived ideas

send a message to president carter and his family

 

When you listen to someone,

you should give up all your preconceived ideas

and your subjective opinions; you should just listen to him,

just observe what his way is. We put very little emphasis

on right and wrong or good and bad. We just

see  things as they are with him,

and accept them.
