The Rabbit Room

Application in your life:

  • As stated before, your dream requires others. You need others around you to fully experience your own dream. This is titled The Rabbit Room because it is focused on a certain room. The Eagle and Child, is a seventeenth-century pub located at 49 st. Giles Street, Oxford, England. In this room, together, C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien discussed their ideas and thoughts to each other every Tuesday at lunch. They then both went to write novels that would sell in the millions. 
  • Your potential will be determined by the people you surround yourself with. If you want to become better in a sport, you have to play someone better than you. If you want to succeed in business, school, or life you must surround yourself with others that know more than you and that can do more than you. 

Biggest Takeaway:

  • Bad company corrupts good character, but good company helps you go from good to great. The true test of greatness isn't measured by your accomplishments. The true test of greatness is measured by the accomplishments of those you surround yourself with, and those who come after you.

 Quotes:

  1. Your inability to understand stems from a failure of imagination on your part.
  2. I need to be around people who make me feel small because their dreams are so big.
