The Book of Swerds

“Live your life with the same dedication, determination and laser focus as an eight-year-old boy who is committed to hitting his brother back last.”

—The Book of Swerds(Introduction)

When you come across this gem in the introduction, you just know this book is going to be chock-full of knowledge. It’s inspirational quotes like this one that really hit home and motivate us to be the best versions of ourselves.

I’ll understand if you want to take a minute to get some paper and a pen to take notes before continuing.

“And on Sunday the sun stopped in the midst of heaven and did not hurry to set for what seemed like three whole days.”

— The Book of Swerds (23:10)

People like to complain about Mondays being hard, citing how difficult it is to get back to work/school after a weekend. Here we find an unpopular opinion: Sunday is the killer, and Monday takes the fall.

Time works differently on Sundays.

By “works differently” I mean you could be helping your children with baking and crafty things for hours, and then a glance at the clock shows you that it’s only 10:45 a.m. You realize that either your clock is broken or you still have a whole day left to fill.
