Poetry is an opinion so it’s hard for it to be bad, but this one definitely is.
Aug 17 – Thrift Store Day
17 AugLove this song. People be dancing to this in the club not knowing it’s about buying used clothes. Love the video too. Got mad respect for Mackelmore now.
Aug 15 – Failures Day
15 AugThis is a day to look back at our failures and embrace them. If not for that, we couldn’t grow as individuals. In fact, one of my favorite commercials of all time expresses just that.
My career deals with failure on a daily basis. I present ideas and they can fail internally, on the client level or on a consumer level. You have to always be ready for things to go wrong, but not being afraid to fail is what makes us courageous enough to push forward.
I remember when I was sure that I would win a certain award at school and I didn’t. Not only was that failure humbling, but it taught me to never put that much emphasis on things like that again. Success is what you make of it and no trophy, certificate or peer acknowledgment will ever change that.
Aug 13 – Left Handers Day
13 AugThere is a movement to make the world more Lefty friendly since the number of lefties has steadily increased every year. We also need to shed light on why left handers are more likely to be schizophrenic, dyslexic or attention deficit. (http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052970204083204577080562692452538.html)
But for some reason, Lefty’s are also some of the most powerful people. Watch the video to see the top 10 most powerful leftys ever.
Aug 04 – Friendship Day
4 AugIt’s crazy the impact Facebook has had on friendships. Even the way we might celebrate this day. But what will always be true is that friends are one of the most important parts of being a human. In fact, what makes us human is the ability to self-evaluate ourselves and form a sense of identity. A sense of identity, which often needs to be acknowledged by friends in order to be true. If you think you’re good, but none of your friends do then maybe you’re not good. So who we are could be a reflection of who our friends think we are. Not that we need anyone’s approval, but do you like being liked? Or in the Facebook era, getting likes?
