Greetings everyone,
This week’s newsletter at a glance:
Leaving the Safety of the Vine.
Honesty
The Purest Joy of Life
Hope you’re having a good weekend!
Read to fill your mind, write to clear your mind.
—Tiago Forte
✏️ The Eleve
Life among the leaves is a weary one.
Take leave of the nourishing life of the vine;
Leeve: step forth into the wind with a blind conviction.
eis qui sine peccato est vestrum primus in illam lapidem mittat — let he among you who is without sin be the first to throw a stone.
💡 Food for Thought
Honesty is not easy, but it’s worth it’s weight in gold.

Tomorrow, and Tomorrow…
A masterclass on the famous Macbeth speech Ian McKellen.
The Educational Process
A fantastic essay by HL Mencken.
The ability to impart knowledge, it seems to me, has very little to do with technical method. It may operate at full function without any technical method at all, and contrariwise, the most elaborate of technical methods cannot make it operate when it is not actually present. A man who knows his subject thoroughly, a man so soaked in it that he eats it, sleeps it and dreams it — this man can almost always teach it with success, no matter how little he knows of technical pedagogy.
Surah As-Sajdah
Amazing.
One of the best and purest joys of life is rest after labour
—Leo Tolstoy (1828-1910)
