More From Rick Riordan

Say thank you! i want to hear you say it now. out loud. 'thank you.' you're saying thank you because your faith is so strong that you don't doubt that whatever the problem, you'll get through it. you're saying thank you because you know that even in the eye of the storm, god has put a rainbow in the clouds. you're saying thank you because you know there's no problem created that can compare to the creator of all things. say thank you!

[grandfather] would manufacture funnies with grandmother before she died about how he was in love with other women who were not her. she knew it was only funnies because she would laugh in volumes.

The gods have fled, i know. my sense is the gods have always been essentially absent. i do not believe human beings have played games or sports from the beginning merely to summon or to please or to appease the gods. if anthropologists and historians believe that, it is because they believe whatever they have been able to recover about what humankind told the gods humankind was doing. i believe we have played games, and watched games, to imitate the gods, to become godlike in our worship of eachother and, through those moments of transmutation, to know for an instant what the gods know.

It is not a mistake to commit a mistake, for no one commits a mistake knowing it to be one. but it is a mistake not to correct the mistake after knowing it to be one. if you are afraid of committing a mistake, you are afraid of doing anything at all. you will correct your mistakes whenever you find them.
Mistake Knowing Atheism

There’s no question that mistakes were made and as ceo, i have to accept responsibility for those mistakes. i was focused on lowering costs and making the hospitals more efficient. i could have had more internal and external controls. i learned hard lessons and i’ve taken that lesson and it’s helped me become a better business person and a better leader.
