Lessons on self-development and proper attitudes
In my last article I used the word “ocean.” Later, I came to see that my article contained one word that is wrong. I should have used the word “lake” instead of the word “ocean.” A lake is very different from an ocean. That part of last week's article should have read “A few days later, while looking over...

The value of Minister Farrakhan and a special future work
