Join 📚 Christian Champ's Highlights
A batch of the best highlights from what Christian's read, .
A learning journey is a people journey. It is both a continuous “search for the truth" and an emotional journey. One of your roles as a leader or manager or teammate is to "invite, include, and inspire"" others to join you in the learning journey.
Learn or Die

Famed wrestler and coach Dan Gable emphasizes this point as well. "Focus on what you are doing," he says. "If you're wrestling, then focus on wrestling, not on how you feel." He recounts several instances of finishing a match and wondering, "How did I just do that? I can hardly walk," or "I can't believe how tired I am." He noticed these things only after the job was done. "When you're in the actual situation, focus on what needs to be accomplished," Dan explains. "When your mind starts meandering, that's when you get into trouble. You need to focus on finishing strong."

After all, we do owe everything we are to others. This is simply true. The language we speak and even think in, our habits and opinions, the kind of food we like to eat, the knowledge that makes our lights switch on and toilets flush, even the style in which we carry out our gestures of defiance and rebellion against social conventions—all of this, we learned from other people, most of them long dead. If we were to imagine what we owe them as a debt, it could only be infinite.
