2 QUOTES FROM OTHERS
I. Rosalynn Carter, former First Lady of the United States, on leadership:
"A leader takes people where they want to go. A great leader takes people where they don't necessarily want to go, but ought to be."
II. Susan Sontag on not giving up:
“It never occurred to me that I couldn’t live the life I wanted to lead. It never occurred to me that I could be stopped…
I had this very simple view: that the reason people who start out with ideals or aspirations don’t do what they dream of doing when they’re young is because they quit. I thought, well, I won’t quit.”
2 IDEAS FROM ME
I. Truth is objective; it’s true or it’s false. When people say “live your truth” that is an objectively problematic statement. Who says your truth is the “Truth?” We should say “live your opinion.” That’s really what “live your truth” means.
II. If being against racism makes you “woke,” Jesus was wide awake.
1 RANDOM FACT
Cold water is just as cleansing as hot water.
When using modern detergent, clothes will be equally clean whether warm or cold water is used. There is one major difference: warm water uses much more energy (about 75 percent of the energy used for a load of laundry comes from warming the water).
