Because of Their Hard Work

It’s remarkable that I can ask the question, “What do I want to learn today?” Many of my ancestors before me didn’t have that luxury. They were too busy milking cows, fighting wars, and fending off innumerable diseases.

Because of their hard work, I can now get my milk from the grocery store, I’m not compelled (at least not yet) by a mandatory draft to fight, and I’ve received vaccines to fend off polio and the plague. Because of my ancestors, I’ve got some time on my hands.

How will I make the most of that beautiful gift? What book will I choose to study and why?

Until tomorrow, read slowly – take notes – apply the ideas
