The Best Minute: on keeping time, your environment, and reading more books
2 QUOTES FROM OTHERS
I. Mitch Albom on keeping time:
“Try to imagine a life without timekeeping. You probably can’t. You know the month, the year, the day of the week. There is a clock on your wall or the dashboard of your car. You have a schedule, a calendar, a time for dinner or a movie. Yet all around you, timekeeping is ignored. Birds are not late. A dog does not check its watch. Deer do not fret over passing birthdays. Man alone measures time. Man alone chimes the hour. And, because of this, man alone suffers a paralyzing fear that no other creature endures. A fear of time running out.”

II. William Clement Stone on the impact of your environment:
“You are a product of your environment. So choose the environment that will best develop you toward your objective. Analyze your life in terms of its environment. Are the things around you helping you toward success - or are they holding you back?”
2 IDEAS FROM ME
I. Your level of trust in God is proportionate to your level of peace.

II. Fast readers don’t read more books. People who set aside the time to read, read more books.
If you want to read more books, don't let "but I'm a slow reader" be the excuse for why you don’t read more books.
1 INTERESTING FACT
The black and white “tuxedo” look donned by most penguin species is a clever camouflage called countershading.
When swimming, the black on their backs helps them blend in with the darkness of the ocean from predators viewing from above. Their white bellies help them blend in with the bright surface of the ocean when viewed by predators and prey from below.

If I only had half the time to complete that project, what would I cut out? What would I focus more of my attention on?
P.S. Never trust a penguin.
