A batch of the best highlights from what Christian's read, .
My invitation to you is to look at your life through the lens of learning. What would be different if you approached every challenge with a Figure It Out mentality? Are you talking yourself out of big goals because you doubt your abilities? Do you question whether you can gain the knowledge and skills that will take you where you want to go? Do you wish you had the audacity to be the person you want to be? Deep down, do you wonder if the raw abilities, natural gifts, and unique opportunities bestowed upon you could be developed and improve the world around you?
A Fire to Be Kindled
Kelly Smith
What we call “life” is a general condition which exists to some degree of other, in every part of space: brick, stone, grass, river, painting, building, daffodil, human being, forest, city. And further: The key to this idea is that every part of space— every connected region of space, small or large— has some degree of life, and that this degree of life is well defined, objectively existing and measurable.

When a job applicant starts telling me how Pacific Rim-job cuisine turns him on and inspires him, I see trouble coming. Send me another Mexican dishwasher anytime. I can teach him to cook. I can't teach character. Show up at work on time six months in a row and we'll talk about red curry paste and lemon grass. Until then, I have four words for you: 'Shut the fuck up.'
