Five pertinent takeaways by Ernest Hemingway:
“But man is not made for defeat. A man can be destroyed but not defeated.”
“Let him think that I am more man than I am and I will be so.”
“I may not be as strong as I think, but I know many tricks and I have resolution.”
“Now is no time to think of what you do not have. Think of what you can do with what there is.”
“Every day is a new day. It is better to be lucky. But I would rather be exact. Then when luck comes you are ready.”
-Ernest Hemingway
