THOUGHT OF THE DAY: WINTER QUOTES

Trust me I get it; winter sucks!  Its the immigrant roots from tropical paradises I guess but winter chills me to the bones and ruins any traveling plans.  Instead of suffering together, here are some quotes about winter to either motivate or put a smile on your face:

There is a privacy about it which no other season gives you…. In spring, summer and fall people sort of have an open season on each other; only in the winter, in the country, can you have longer, quiet stretches when you can savor belonging to yourself.  ~Ruth Stout

Let us love winter, for it is the spring of genius.  ~Pietro Aretino

Winter is the time of promise because there is so little to do – or because you can now and then permit yourself the luxury of thinking so.  ~Stanley Crawford

I like these cold, gray winter days.  Days like these let you savor a bad mood.  ~Bill Watterson

Every mile is two in winter.  ~George Herbert

I was just thinking, if it is really religion with these nudist colonies, they sure must turn atheists in the wintertime.  ~Will Rogers

Winter is nature’s way of saying, “Up yours.”  ~Robert Byrne

THOUGHT OF THE DAY: GENIUS MOMENT

Every person is capable of a genius moment: a moment where their unique experience, point of view and environment met with inspiration arrives them at a new revelation that points conventional thought in a new direction.  This realization is important on an individual basis and also as a leader.  Everyone on your team has the ability to be great, a true leader fosters this potential and encourages it.  We are all average people with our next genius moment on the horizon.  Cheers to us!

THE ART OF ENTERTAINING – How To Throw A Perfect Party

Dinner parties are an elegant way for the mature and sophisticated to socialize with family and friends. While they can sometimes be stressful to organize, the payoff of a successful dinner party is a home full of satisfied guests, and incredible memories.

A dinner party doesn’t have to be a traumatic experience for the host; it is actually very simple to organize a terrific dinner party. Here is my step by step, how-to guide for throwing your very own stellar dinner!

Dinner party dilemma #1: The guests!

Obviously, the first thing that needs to be addressed in the planning of a dinner party is the guest list. My recommendation is to keep the guest list under 10 people. After all, having dinner is supposed to be about intimacy and friendship; the more people added into the mix, the more opportunity there is for chaos.  Also remember, you need to have adequate space to accommodate your guests, so only invite as many people as you can sit comfortably at your dinner table.

WOMAN GETS ARRESTED FOR RACIST RANT DUE TO PUBLIC OUTRAGE (NOT SAFE FOR WORK)

I am going to put a positive spin on this story and not focus on the racist woman in the video but rather the public outrage that spanned all cultures.  We need to speak out wherever this behavior displays itself.  In the footage below a woman goes into a vile rant based in racism and if you look at the videos views and feedback, you can see that it was not tolerated.  Who cares?  Will this online feedback got her arrested the next day.  Everyone that commented and showed their outrage stood up for something and a difference was made.
