    The Secret Life of Dust by Hannah Holmes

    New on TikTok: Marcus Garvey said, “If you have no confidence in yourself, you are twice defeated in the race of life” (Garvey, Philosophy and Opinions 72). Elder Samuel reminds us that confidence grows through discipline. Frederick Douglass taught himself to read when the world insisted that knowledge would make him “unfit to be a slave.” Freedom demands hunger. It demands work. It refuses wishy washy effort. Share this with someone who is keeping our wisdom alive. Comment below: What wisdom have you learned that no textbook ever taught you? What did Marcus Garvey mean by, “If you have no confidence in yourself, you are twice defeated in the race of life”? He meant that confidence sets the conditions for any struggle you enter. What did Marcus Garvey mean by, “Without confidence, you are already defeated”? He meant that doubt undermines you before the world has a chance to try. What did Marcus Garvey mean by, “Rise up, you mighty race”? He meant that liberation begins with the courage to trust your own strength. https://ift.tt/GOuRJqM #MarcusGarvey #MarcusGarveyQuote #GarveyWisdom #DailyMeditation #KnowledgeIsPower { "@context": "https://schema.org ", "@type": "VideoObject", "name": "Keep Learning, Keep Rising", "description": "Elder Samuel reflects on confidence, discipline, and the fierce pursuit of knowledge that shaped Frederick Douglass’s path to freedom.", "thumbnailUrl": "https://ift.tt/kDfsICx ", "uploadDate": "2025-11-17", "duration": "PT15S", "contentUrl": "https://ift.tt/yBzILW1 ", "embedUrl": "https://ift.tt/yBzILW1 ", "publisher": "The Garvey Classroom", "mainEntityOfPage": "https://ift.tt/WkpD9j5 ", "transcript": "Freedom doesn’t show up by accident.
