COT:
Yesterday my sons discovered a copy of Homer’s Odyssey. They wanted to know if it was good and if they could read it. (I think they recognized some of the names from the Percy Jackson books.)
I told the the Odyssey was a good book, but that it had originally been an oral work, composed by a blind poet As a result, one really has to read it out loud, with some gusto, to appreciate it.
It seems that some things–like burpees and reading the Odyssey–only work when you do them with exuberance
Not all things in life are like that, but I think it is probably the rule for hard things. A greater challenge demands a greater effort.
