Of course we know that July 4 is Independence Day in the U.S. But lots of other things have happened on that date as well. Here are just a few of them. 1. On July 4, 1845, Henry David Thoreau began his two-year living experiment at Walden Pond, near Concord, Massachusetts. 2. On July 4, 1862, little Alice Liddell listened to a story told by Lewis Carroll during a boat trip on the Thames—it would later become 'Alice's Adventures in Wonderland.' It was published exactly three years later, on July 4, 1865. More at the link in our bio.

"How we handle these lifetimes, these trying times, or life testers, is what decides a person's destiny," he says. Want to know more about how to go beyond your set-backs?
