“Courage has become Raiders of the Lost Ark, or riding in spaceships, killing people, taking enormous physical risks. To me, the kind of courage that's really interesting is someone whose spouse has Alzheimer's and yet manages to wake up every morning and be cheerful with that person and respectful of that person and find things to enjoy even though their day is very, very difficult. That kind of courage is really undervalued in our culture.” PeopleKindPersonsCultureLostEnjoyDifficultInterestingMorningCourageRiskWake UpKillingEnormousManageRidingEvery MorningSpouseCheerfulRespectfulReally InterestingSpaceshipsAlzheimerArkAlzheimer'sRaidersUndervalued Author:Mary Pipher

“All great tasks test our motivation. It's easy to court ideas over beers and change the world with napkin sketches, but like most things taken home from bars, new challenges arise the next day. It's in the morning light when work begins, and grand ideas (or barroom conquests) lose their luster. To do interesting things requires work and it's no surprise we abandon demanding passions for simpler, easier, more predictable things.” WorldIdeasHomeLightMotivationPassionNextEasyLosesChallengesInterestingMorningTakenEasierTasksTestsCourtSurpriseBarsAriseBeerChanging The WorldAbandonNext DayConquestPredictableInteresting ThingsNew ChallengesNapkinsLusterMorning Light Author:Scott Berkun
