"如果你想断言一个事实，首先确保它不仅仅是你迫切希望为真的观点。"
— Neil deGrasse Tyson
Simplified Meaning:
Before stating something as a fact, you need to ensure it's actually true and not just something you wish were true. For instance, imagine you really want to believe that eating chocolate every day is healthy. If you tell people it's a healthy choice without checking reliable information, you might end up spreading misinformation. Similarly, in history, explorers who thought the earth was flat were proven wrong because they didn't base their beliefs on evidence. In your everyday life, if you think your friend said something hurtful and you’re upset, instead of assuming they meant it in a bad way, ask them and understand their side. By doing this, you avoid misunderstandings and ensure your beliefs are based on facts and reality. This helps build trust and keeps you from making mistakes based on false assumptions.
