I don’t know where I’m going, but I know that three years of cross country have served their purpose. And I’m tumbling down a hill, and Casey is crying, she’s sobbing

In the Meditations, Descartes believes you can figure out the truth based on your own mind and do not need to go to the outside world. Aristotle and Descartes wouldn’t agree.

Their success is made up of hard work, courage, failure, loyalty, and persistence. It’s these traits that also make up a hero. Though most importantly, persistence is the key.
