“the world needs you…”

“The world needs you. There is large work to be done, good work, and you can make a difference. Whatever your life work, take it seriously and enjoy it. Let’s never be the kind of people who do things lukewarmly. If you’re going to ring the bell, give the rope one hell of a pull. I wish you the fullest lives possible—full of love and bells ringing.”

David McCullough has been one of my favorite authors over the years. 1776 and the description of the crossing of the Delaware is unrivaled. There was a season where I listened to 1776 during late June and early July every year. The Great Bridge, The Path Between the Seas, The Wright Brothers...all so good.
