As we close out the week, I want you to celebrate all of your wins, the big ones you shed blood for and the small ones you barely noticed. To help you lock in and live life to the fullest, I’ve put together a list of essentials for the days ahead.
I’ll leave you with a quote I love from Robert Jordan: “There is one rule, above all others, for being a man. Whatever comes, face it on your feet.”
Here’s your weekend homework.
📚 English: The Required Reading
Intro: Let’s set the pace. They say the pen is mightier than the sword, but a well-placed link is mightier than a boring Saturday. Given that I’ve recommended you guys add more depth to your bookshelves, I’m dropping a banger that people are already calling one of the best books of the year.
