We now know what the first extensions to the jungle gym will be. Grace had a chance to swing on Caleb’s rope swing today and absolutely loved it. The swing is a rope with a log tied onto it for a seat, and a smaller stick tied a bit higher for a hand hold. It was hard work swinging on it, but Grace just wanted more and more.

I finished the book Outliers today which I really enjoyed, I think it has significantly impacted my thinking. I would say it can be summed up like this: if you want to be successful work hard doing meaningful work and make use of the opportunities that present themselves to you. Those two factors are at least within your control.
