About This Quote

When you ignore a fact, it does not disappear. It’s still there, waiting for you to notice it. Ignoring a fact is like pretending that it doesn’t exist. You can do this for a while, but eventually the facts catch up with you and you have to confront them.

Ignoring inconvenient facts about an issue does not solve the problem. But, confronting the facts is the only way to get real results from an issue.
