THE TRIPLE-FILTER TEST SOCRATES :
In this Information era, we are burdened with great amount information 99% of them are junk in nature. We need to lean our load in order to increase our efficiency and speedup our progress towards Success.
A real story would help you understand the exact jest way to Manage Information in the real life scenario …
A story of the great Greek Philosopher Socrates :
An acquaintance of Socrates asked him if he would like to know the story he’d just heard about a friend of theirs.
Socrates commented that, he needed to pass the “Triple-Filter” test.
The first filter, he explained, is Truth. “Have you made absolutely sure that what you are about to say is true?” The man shook his head. “No, I actually just heard about it, and …”
Socrates cut him off. “You don’t know for certain that it is true, then.
Is what you want to say something good or kind?” Again, the man shook his head. “No! Actually, just the opposite. You see …”
Socrates lifted his hand to stop the man speaking. “So you are not certain that what you want to say is true, and it isn’t good or kind.
One filter still remains, though, so you may yet still tell me. That is Usefulness or Necessity. Is this information useful or necessary to me?” A little defeated, the man replied, “No, not really.”
“Well, then,” Socrates said, turning on his heel. “If what you want to say is neither true, nor good or kind, nor useful or necessary, please don’t say anything at all.”
So …
Remember involve only in those things which you are sure of having any of this three things in it (Truth, Good or Kind, or Useful or Necessary).
Good Morning
Have a Life Full of Goodness
