most-convicting-est: "it is not enough to succeed; others must fail"
I think we've talked about this one with regard to grades--i.e. my getting an A really doesn't mean much unless most of the class failed.
This article was great. Trueman's writing makes me envious...
Have you ever read any of his other stuff? I really like his Wages of Spin book.
He's in an mp3 interview on the nine marks website. Not only can he write, everything he says sounds brilliant because of his accent.
