Erika (17788 KP) rated Deadpool (2016) in Movies
Oct 7, 2017
While this movie was entertaining, there really wasn't much to it. I recently re-watched it, and all I could think of during it was why I decided to waste my time watching it again. I love Ryan Reynolds, so the humor was good, but other than that... blah. It's completely overrated, as is Deadpool as a character.
Suswatibasu (1701 KP) rated Grit: The Power of Passion and Perseverance in Books
Oct 7, 2017
Work hard, and smart, don't just rely on talent
I'm always a little dubious about books in the self-help genre as 200 pages can be translated into one tagline. However, as a book, Grit is intelligently put together, with interesting research and anecdotes which was pleasant to read. You do need to use external resources that she provides from time to time, which I didn't do, so some of it may not make complete sense.
And unlike a lot of pretentious self-help books, Angela Duckworth is a pioneer in her field, and she keeps the self-congratulations to a minimum.
