Quote of the day by Leonardo da Vinci: 'The greatest deception men suffer is from...' - life lessons on self-awareness, avoiding self-deception through critical thinking and why you can’t trust your own thoughts by The Mona Lisa and The Last Supper artist

Quote of the day by Leonardo da Vinci: Every day, people form views about situations, others, and even themselves based on experience, emotion, culture, and memory. These personal judgments help us move through life quickly, giving us a sense of direction and confidence when making decisions. But opinions are not always fixed truths. They can be incomplete, biased, or shaped by limited information. The challenge is that we often treat our opinions as facts without realizing it. This can quietly affect how we interpret events and how we respond to new ideas. Two people can witness the same moment and walk away with entirely different conclusions, simply because their inner beliefs filter what they see. That is why opinions are powerful, they guide perception, but they can also become barriers when they are not questioned or reflected upon.
