The Best Minute: On success, courage, and achieving your dreams

2 QUOTES FROM OTHERS

I. Bill Ackman on success and failure:

“I’ve always had the view that how successful you are is really a function of how you deal with failure. If you deal with failure well and you persist, you have a high probability of being successful.”

II. Mary Anne Radmacher on courage:

“Courage doesn’t always roar. Sometimes courage is a quiet voice at the end of the day saying, ‘I will try again tomorrow.'”

2 IDEAS FROM ME

I. You don’t have the ability to achieve all of your dreams, but that should not stop you from working towards achieving some of them.

II. Many times our frustration with God comes not from him failing to do something he promised, but by assuming God will do things for you he never promised to do.

1 INTERESTING FACT

You taste with your brain.

The moment you bite into a slice of pie, your mouth seems full of flavor. But most of that taste sensation is happening in your brain. More accurately, cranial nerves and taste bud receptors in your mouth send molecules of your food to olfactory nerve endings in the roof of your nose. The molecules bind to these nerve endings, which then signal the olfactory bulb to send smell messages directly to two important cranial nerves, the facial nerve and the glossopharyngeal nerve, which communicate with a part of the brain known as the gustatory cortex.

As taste and nerve messages move further through the brain, they join up with smell messages to give the sensation of flavor, which feels as if it comes from the mouth.
