WHAT RYAN HOLIDAY IS READING: " "Life is a struggle and the potential for failure is ever present, but those who live in fear of failure, or hardship, or embarrassment will never achieve their potential. Without pushing your limits, without occasionally sliding down the rope headfirst, without daring greatly, you will never know what is truly possible in your life." — Make Your Bed: Little Things That Can Change Your Life...and Maybe the World by William H.
