That pretty much describes anything that he writes on his blog.
- david927 5y agoCarrots are good for you. I had a friend who ate a carrots as a kid. He's a doctor now. I wouldn't have even written my comment but this was just a big talking point after Gladwell's 10,000 hours book a few years ago (which also speciously and strangely used Bill Gates as an example of effort). That Coolidge quote is 100 years old. I like us talking about things but let's endeavor to make it new things.
