CoT: “Belief isn’t simply a thing for fair times and bright days. What is belief—what is faith—if you don’t continue in it after failure? Anyone can believe in someone, or something, that always succeeds, but failure, now, that is hard to believe in, certainly and truly. Difficult enough to have value.” – Brandon Sanderson, Mistborn: The Final Empire

COT
I’m reading the book A Man of Iron about Grover Cleveland. I’m learning that there are a lot of things about a lot people and events that I don’t know much about. So far in the book I admire that Cleveland stuck to his principles, even vetoing legislation written by house and Senate of his same party. He didn’t have many political friends because of that. I encourage us to learn about something we don’t know much about.
