(view spoiler) [We realize that Lydia did not commit suicide. I don't think she absolves them of their sins, in fact it holds them directly accountable for them and drives their change. It is that last bit of irony that we really know what happens that pulls the story together. Each of the points in time above is when the character realizes that they did not know her, and from that point accepted their culpability and sparked their change. ![]() ![]() Overall it is sad, but everyone was better off thinking that she killed herself rather than it being an accident or killed. ![]() She was able to tell her mom that she didn't want her dreams (the cookbook), to tell her dad that she will be her own person and does not need to be popular (the cops telling him her friends never talked to her), and to tell her brother that she is OK and he doesn't need to save her anymore and he can be the person that he wants to be and she will not overshadow his dreams and achievements (through Jack and Hannah and the fight). Lydia in a way achieved exactly what she wanted, but of course she didn't what to die. (view spoiler) [Personally I think there was a lot of complexity in the ending. ![]()

The first sheet is executive mansion stationary and the words written on it are written in pen, with some pencilled in amendments at the bottom. The second sheet is on foolscap paper, and the words are written in pencil. That is partly because the Nicolay copy of Lincoln’s speech, which was only around 270 words long, appears on two distinct sheets of paper. ![]() The copy which will go on display in the library’s Great Hall on Friday is one of two that were in the possession of the 16th president's secretaries, John George Nicolay and John Hay.

I’ve identified four elements to becoming a Rugged Entrepreneur. Ruggeds make the leap toward success in a way that separates them from the millions who fall short because they invest the time and effort to develop and hone the specific set of powerful skills you’ll discover in these pages. What is a “Rugged Entrepreneur”? It’s what I call a special breed of entrepreneur. When building the business you’ve always dreamed of, you must first establish a rock-solid foundation, something I’ve learned from many years of experience as a Rugged Entrepreneur. If we are luckier still, we have also been taught to establish a sturdy foundation for those dreams to stand upon. If we are lucky, we have been taught to dream since the time we were very young. Have you ever dreamed about owning your own business? Maybe becoming a market disruptor? Would you know where to start? Do you have a coach, a mentor, or a teacher who can show you how?
