Day 1,525, Quasi-Quarantine:"Handle Hard Better" Is A Lesson No One Seems To Want To Hear Anymore

I'm not normally someone who derives much inspiration or many meaningful concepts from motivational speeches, just by virtue of being, well, me.

So imagine my own surprise at myself when I allowed myself to be immersed fully into Duke coach Kara Lawson's address to her team a couple of weeks ago. There aren't a ton of days that go by when I don't think of her message.

[old-man thought to follow]:

Much of it is earned and a lot of it is understandable, but there's a lot of fragility out there -- and I'm not sure we're doing anyone any good by trying to make things easier for them.

Thanks, Coach. Good on ya.
