“"My #1 guiding principle for a successful life (learned from J Brad Britton): "Do the right thing; not the easy thing." Everyday, you are constantly faced with choices to do either the right thing (any activity that moves you closer to where and who you want to be) or the easy thing (anything else). In every moment of choice, choose to do the right thing over the easy thing, and your becoming successful is inevitable.” WantMomentsMovingChoicesEasyPrinciplesSuccessfulBecomingGratitudeActivityEverydayInevitableRight ThingBradSuccessful LifeEasy ThingsBecoming SuccessfulGuiding Principles Author:Hal Elrod

“Eating at a new, highly recommended restaurant is like a Very Important Blind Date, a contract with uncertainty you enter into with great expectation battling the cynicism of experience. You sit waiting, wondering about the upcoming moments of revelation. Somewhere in the back of your head is the dour warning that disappointment is inevitable but you don't really believe it or you wouldn't be there. The best eaters are always optimists.” BelieveImportantMomentsWaitingWonderFoodEatingExpectationsBlindCookingDisappointmentInevitableUncertaintyRestaurantsRevelationsCulinaryContractsWarningCynicismOptimistGreat ExpectationsBlind Date Author:Stuart Stevens

“André Bazin wrote that art emerged from our desire to counter the passage of time and the inevitable decay it brings. But in “Boyhood,” Mr. Linklater's masterpiece, he both captures moments in time and relinquishes them as he moves from year to year. He isn't fighting time but embracing it in all its glorious and agonizingly fleeting beauty.” YearsArtMomentsMovingDesireFightingInevitableGloriousCapturePassagesDecayMasterpieceFleetingMoments In TimePassage Of TimeBoyhood Author:Manohla Dargis
