by: Charles Swindoll The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude, to me, is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, than education, than money, than circumstances, than failures, than successes, than what other people think or say or do. It is more important [...]

The recommendation was subsequently rejected by black women interviewed by the author because for starters they “wanted chocolate [...]
