I read 'Courage' - a short essay by esteemed American writer Ralph Waldo Emerson.

Emerson discusses the three characteristics which elicit respect across mankind, the most important and rare of which is real, genuince courage. He discusses how to cultivate courage and why men revere their courageous fellows so much.

We can all live more courageously; this essay will help you do just that.

I read “The Forgotten Highlander: An Incredible WWII Story of Survival in the Pacific"

Alistair Urquhart was a Scottish born soldier in WW2 who was a prisoner of war under the Imperial Japanese Army for several years. He endured immense suffering working on the Death Railway along the River Kwai, survived a shipwreck followed by several days alone at sea, and was hit by the atomic bomb blast in Nagasaki.

He lived a long and fruitful life, moving on at the age of 97 years old. In this book, he recounts the unfathomable tragedies he endured, how endured them, and how he used those experiences to live a long and rich life.

His is one of the most inspiring stories I've ever read.
