"I’ve been through so many styles and trends that have been like that. That’s your first reaction when you see something new that you aren’t part of. It’s a generational shift. I’m 60, I’ve been through this a lot. You never can do what the kids do. What you do is look at yourself and find your own way to address the fact that the times have changed and that you have to pay attention. You can’t be a designer and say, “Oh, this is timeless.” Nothing is timeless! Times change. The minute you say, “This is some fashion phase, I’m going to ignore this, because my work is timeless,” pay attention—you’re fooling yourself!"

"I know it'll get better. We've been through all kinds of economic problems in this country for a couple hundred years. Our genius in the United States is not in avoiding problems, it's in overcoming problems. We've overcome every problem we've ever faced... Three of four years from now everything will be fine."

Fire

Watched the MICHEAL JORDAN speech the other day as he was inducted into the HALL OF FAME. The guy sure has put on a few pounds but he was classic MJ. He speech was witty, entertaining and well received. But was struck me was how he continued to speak about his drive and how every time someone criticized him, beat him, or told him he couldn't do something it drove him to work harder so he could prove them wrong. That's an important lesson. Instead of getting down on ourselves we should look for ways to make ourselves better, turn something good into something bad. To watch the video click HERE.

Satisfaction

After being alive for over a quarter of a century I always wonder if its true what people say: happiness is a choice? Having a gratitude attitude makes some positive people and allows them to put out good energy that attracts great experiences into their life. I at times wonder if I do that. Over the past few days I've been reflecting and wondering not if I'm happy but satisfied. Satisfied with what I'm putting out in the universe and the answer is no. I'm happy with what I have but unsatisfied with myself. I guess I'm happy with the universe but just need to work on me.

Bruce Lee

“I am learning to understand rather than immediately judge or to be judged. I cannot blindly follow the crowd and accept their approach. I will not allow myself to indulge in the usual manipulating game of role creation. Fortunately for me, my self-knowledge has transcended that and I have come to understand that life is best to be lived and not to be conceptualized. I am happy because I am growing daily and I am honestly not knowing where the limit lies. To be certain, every day there can be a revelation or a new discovery. I treasure the memory of the past misfortunes. It has added more to my bank of fortitude.”

Also on it are DRAKE and LIL WAYNE for LEBRON JAMES new documentary movie MORE THAN A GAME. As far as verses goes both Eminem and Kanye are great on it and the chorus is catchy.

Christopher Nolan's Latest

Boys Are Back

While I wasn't really feeling the last season of ENTOURAGE this season is much better. Ari is at his best, Vince is back on top, Llyod wants to make career moves, and Turtle's dating Tony Sopranos daughter. The new seventh season is hilarous and the guest stars like DAVID SCHWIMMER and BOB SAGET are even funnier. If you haven't already, I suggest you start watching this gem of a show.

Lizard Brain

One of my favorite authors SETH GODIN spoke at the new 99 PERCENT CONFERENCE a few months ago. It was finally uploaded online and you can watch it HERE. His presentation centers around the concept of shipping and meeting deadlines and budgets. From his point of view the hard part isn't being creative - its actually doing things and getting away from the excuses we tell ourselves or as he calls it the "lizard brain". Personally I loved his idea and it changed my perspective on my work ethic and question if I'm starting and finishing.

John Wooden

"Success comes from knowing that you did your best to become the best that you are capable of becoming. Success is peace of mind which is a direct result of self-satisfaction in knowing you did your best to become the best you are capable of becoming. Success is never final, failure is never fatal. It's courage that counts."

J.J. Abrams Mystery Box

Even though I've never watched either of his television show nor his movies except MISSION IMPOSSIBLE III which I enjoyed, I found his talk at TED rather stimulating. His process is very simple yet though provoking - he makes the kleenax box sound interesting and he has a terrific sense a humor. Click HERE to watch JJ ABRAMS speak at the prestigious TED conference. Anybody that crafts story or is interested in being creative then you should spend the eighteen minutes.
