Each morning, before Jackie started her studies, she wrote on a clean piece of paper: ‘Tarde venientibus ossa.’ (To the latecomers are left the bones) — Junot Díaz
step 266: do whatever it takes to stay motivated. reading about Jackie from The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao and Chandran from The Bachelor of Arts by R.K. Narayan always makes me want to study. the way that both of these characters revere attaining and education speaks to me. i love reading about their pre-planning and early morning habits. this quote especially encourages me to wake up and get it started.
