Do Hard Things - Part 1

I recently started reading a book called Do Hard Things: A Teenage Rebellion Against Low Expectations by Alex and Bret Harris. They are only 19 years old and the have their own website and have contributed many articles to the webzine Boundless. They are seeking a "rebelution," a term which they made up, which simply means "a teenage rebellion against low expectations" (11), and this is the starting point for their book. They ask, "Is it possible that our teen years give us a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for huge accomplishments--as individuals and as a generation?" (6). There book opens with these thoughts:

"Most people don't expect you to understand what we're going to tell you in this book. And even if you understand, they don't expect you to care. And even if you care, they don't expect you to do anything about it. And even if you do something about it, they don't expect it to last. Well, we do."

If you dare, I challenge you to read this book. But beware, it may radically transform your life. More thoughts to come later.
