Opinion
In general, an opinion is a belief about matters commonly considered to be subjective, i.e. it is based on that which is less than absolutely certain, and is the result of emotion or interpretation of facts. An opinion may be supported by an argument, although people may draw opposing opinions from the same set of facts. Opinions rarely change without new arguments being presented. It can be reasoned that one opinion is better supported by the facts than another by analyzing the supporting arguments. In casual use, the term opinion may be the result of a person's perspective, understanding, particular feelings, beliefs, and desires. It may refer to unsubstantiated information, in contrast to knowledge and fact-based beliefs. Collective or professional opinions are defined as meeting a higher standard to substantiate the opinion.

El valor es a menudo malinterpretado como la ausencia de miedo, que no lo es. El valor es más bien un dominio total de temor. Que es el valor que le quita el miedo a cometer errores y miedo más profundo al fracaso. El valor nunca es una bestia rugiente como aparece muchas veces - pero en mi opinión, es un maravilloso, tranquilo y pequeño pájaro cantor que susurra en voz baja y suavemente en los oídos: "Que va a hacer de nuevo mañana! Que va a hacer que suceda! ! " durante los momentos más oscuros de la vida, cuando estás solo. Nunca perder ese bello y precioso canto de un pájaro.
