š What no one needs -Ā
- There are essential nutrients. Certain vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and fatty acids that we have to get in our diets. But carbohydrates aren't one of them.

š¤ What I can't explainĀ -Ā
- Over the last couple months I've done dentistry in juvenile detention centers across Missouri. Something stands out among these kids that I can't explain (compared to the non-detained kids I see on a regular basis). The kids in juvenile detentionĀ seem happier, more energetic, and more gracious. They sing, rap, and make beats together while waiting their turn to get cavities
filled. They ask how I'm doing. It's rare forĀ a kid to say "thank you" after having dental work. But nearly all the kids in juvenile detention do. They look me in the eye, shake my hand, and show sincere appreciation. Maybe it's because the system forced them to mature, maybe it's because they've seen the darkest parts of lifeĀ and can appreciate the small things. I don't know. But they've clearly shown me why people deserve second chances.Ā

š³ What political article I'm reading -
- I don't spend much time with politics. But I'm keenly interested in people who break stereotypical molds. Marianne Williamson, a self-help author and spiritual leader, is running for president of the US and definitely breaks the mold.

šØāš What speed learning (1000X) looks likeĀ -Ā
- I think learning how to learn is one of the most valuable skills to develop. This article highlights 4 steps to learn at 1000X the speed. If I were to summarize it: Find the best resource on what you want to learn. Extract the crucial 20% (that gives 80% of the results) and put it into action immediately. Rinse and repeat.

Ā šĀ What resource I bookmarkedĀ -
- In the spirit of learning here is a one of the best resources I've found for public domainĀ ebooks. Well organized, high quality, and doesn't cost a dime.
