Kindle Notes & Highlights
LIFE IS NEVER MADE UNBEARABLE BY CIRCUMSTANCES, BUT ONLY BY A LACK OF MEANING AND PURPOSE.
“The value in it is what you learn about yourself. In this sort of situation all kinds of qualities come out—things that you may not have seen in yourself before.”
“Cry in training, laugh in battle.”
Emiliano Zapata: “It is better to die on your feet than to live on your knees.”
“I’d rather be dead than average.”
Unachieved goals don’t have to result in unused gifts.
“Outliers are those who have been given opportunities—and who have had the strength and presence of mind to seize them.”
They are outliers. Legends. Freaks. People who push the bounds of what is humanly possible. And they are who I follow, not just on social media but in real life, into the soaring mountains and the scorching deserts.
To me that’s the point of life—learn, experience, share, value, teach, and build.
Surround yourself with those who push you to be a better human.
