🔶 Most of what happen in our lives is the result of our
actions and decisions. Whatever we feed our minds, we
inevitably manifest. Therefore, the more we think
positively, the more we do greater things.
🔶 The only difference between successful people and
unsuccessful people are habits.
🔶 Each one of us has the capacity to be successful;
some just have not yet realized it.
🔶 The keys to shedding old habits and developing
new ones are perseverance and patience. It takes time,
but it's always possible if we don't give up.

boost our self-esteem.

to success.
🔶 Planning is the first step to self-discipline. Don't be

organized and careful way assures a higher success
rate.

🔶 Celebrating success by yourself does not yield that
much happiness. Always keep the people you love
close by yourself. Share success and happiness with
others.

I just finished Eric Adler's The Battle of the Classics, and wanted to say something about Joel Christiansen's review linked below. I am not sure what motivates the review (I speculate a bit below), but it gives a very misleading impression of the book. 1/x
The meat of the criticism is that the history Adler gives is insufficiently critical. Adler describes a few figures who had a great influence on how the modern US university was formed. It's certainly critical: it focuses on the social Darwinism of these figures. 2/x
Other insinuations and suggestions in the review seem wildly off the mark, distorted, or inappropriate-- for example, that the book is clickbaity (it is scholarly) or conservative (hardly) or connected to the events at the Capitol (give me a break). 3/x
The core question: in what sense is classics inherently racist? Classics is old. On Adler's account, it begins in ancient Rome and is revived in the Renaissance. Slavery (Christiansen's primary concern) is also very old. Let's say classics is an education for slaveowners. 4/x
It's worth remembering that literacy itself is elite throughout most of this history. Literacy is, then, also the education of slaveowners. We can honor oral and musical traditions without denying that literacy is, generally, good. 5/x
As someone\u2019s who\u2019s read the book, this review strikes me as tremendously unfair. It mostly faults Adler for not writing the book the reviewer wishes he had! https://t.co/pqpt5Ziivj
