When was the last time you were afraid of something? Maybe it was a presentation you had to give in class, a roller coaster, or even a truly scary situation.

Caution in how you act, caution with your decisions, and caution with what you say. When we think of putting our thoughts out for the world to see on the internet, it is wise to go slowly. Rushing ahead with reckless confidence can spread false information, hurt other people, or damage ourselves.
