Second thought

A single thought is not enough.
Seize the importance of second thoughts.

"But on second thought, after I decreed the state of emergency, I came to the conclusion that that was impossible to achieve without bloodshed because the street protesters were full of anger and nearly out of control. This is why I thought we needed to find another way out."

          - Eduard Shevardnadze

Ultimately, this is what our parents have been teaching us since we started to utter words. Whe must think before we speak...

We do have a lot to gain from that.
On first and second thoughts.
