COT: People’s views are set over the course of years (or a lifetime). One conversation won’t change them. If someone who matters to you is on the wrong side of an issue, you’re going to have to put in a lot of work to bring them around – being “right” isn’t enough.

Words kill, words give life, they’re either poison or fruit – you choose.

CoT: “When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down ‘happy’. They told me I didn’t understand the assignment, and I told them they didn’t understand life.” – John Lennon
It’s not what we do for a living that determines our happiness or even job satisfaction, but how we do it.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
The Farm AO Road Clean Up service project will be held in lieu of workout in a couple of weeks. COT:
Federalist Paper 51 states: “If men were angels, no government would be necessary. If angels were to govern men, neither external nor internal controls on government would be necessary. In framing a government which is to be administered by men over men, the great difficulty lies in this: you must first enable the government to control the governed; and in the next place oblige it to control itself.”
Dalin Oaks said: “We have a responsibility to uphold and defend the United States Constitution and principles of constitutionalism wherever we live…We should learn and advocate the inspired principles of the Constitution. We should seek out and support wise and good persons who will support those principles in their public actions. We should be knowledgeable citizens who are active in making our influence felt in civic affairs.”
As we stive to be High Impact Men (HIM) we should include our civil responsibilities too.
