Today's Meditation:

The Tower of Life: Letters from a Stoic to His Son by Mihail Yonkov, VI. Consistency

What Mr. Yonkov is saying is 100% true and 100% important. But . . . I'm not even going to say it.

Cf. Calvin Coolidge's quote on persistence:

"Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan 'Press On!' has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race."
