That’s something that we have to do each and every day, as we strive to live up to their example and make sure our children and grandchildren remember their stories.

"Go big or go home" sounds alluring and inspiring, especially when someone who seems super successful is preaching it. The same people tend to say stuff like, "Grind! Hustle! Sleep less, work harder!"
Too bad these idioms are garbage.
Go small and consistently. Sleep more.
