Highly recommend speaking as if you were a middle century knight:
Halt, who goes there (meeting someone)
And now we feast! (At dinner time)
Onwards to battle (pre gym)
I must rest now, I am weary (camomile tea)
Adds a nice bit of flair to the day to day
Ernst Jünger survived multiple headshots in WWI
Led his unit to impossible victories
Between battles, he read Nietzsche in his spare time
Wrote notes that became the classic Storm of Steel
Jünger knew pain inside out
His essay On Pain has timeless insights for us

“In one of the most notable moments in sports history, Kenyan runner Abel Mutai was just a few feet from the finish line, but became confused with the signage and stopped thinking he had completed the race.
A Spanish athlete, Ivan Fernandez, was right behind him, and after realizing what was happening, he started shouting at the Kenyan for him to continue running; but Mutai didn't understand his Spanish.
Fernandez eventually caught up to him and instead of passing him, he pushed him to victory.
A journalist asked Ivan, "Why did you do that?"
Ivan replied, “My dream is that someday we can have a kind of community life where we push and help each other to win.” The journalist insisted “But why did you let the Kenyan win?" Ivan replied, "I didn't let him win, he was going to win.” The journalist insisted again, “But you could have won!”Ivan looked at him & replied, “But what would be the merit of my victory? What would be the honor of that medal?
What would my Mom think of that?”
Values are transmitted from generation to generation.
What values are we teaching our children?
Let us not teach our kids the wrong ways to WIN.”

Asian soup spoons are so much better for the task of soup it's nuts. Western soup spoons are awful. The west is clearly unserious about the way it consumes soup.
