FATS AND BIGGIE DAY

MIND

George Mitchell 1919

http://cgmf.org/p/home.html

Through 15 years of failure, he ignored the supposed wisdom of the crowd. “In science, you have to be very aware of consensus,” says Steward, the former Mitchell Energy manager. “It’s based on people’s theories and models at the time. And sometimes it’s damn wrong. And in this case it was damn wrong.” In the end, Mitchell proved that there is no innovative force quite so powerful as the problem-solver able to balance the world’s disbelief with a resolute belief in himself.

*Ignore the wisdom of the crowd. You know when something is damn wrong. Be a problem-solver with a resolute belief in yourself.

Josh Hamilton 1981

https://www.si.com/mlb/2017/05/08/josh-hamilton-four-home-run-game-anniversary

Hamilton is immensely talented, maybe more than any other baseball player ever. But we again have been reminded that his demons never will be exorcised and always will be only a drink or drug away.

BONUS Ricky Williams 1977

http://rickywilliams.life/

Co-owners Jim McAlpine and former NFL star Ricky Williams (suspended multiple times for marijuana use) hope that Power Plant Fitness will help remove the stigma that pot just makes you lazy and hungry. “Marijuana, if you use it in a responsible way, accentuates the parts of sports that you love and helps you to do them better,”

MONEY

Armand Hammer 1898

https://www.armandhammer.com/

But the most remarkable thing about Armand Hammer is that he created this personal empire largely by negotiating extraordinary deals with nations that have usually been hostile to the United States – and even more hostile to American capitalists. The son of one of the founders of the American Communist Labor Party, Hammer became a multimillionaire capitalist, thanks in large measure to his relations with the leaders of the Soviet Union. He has maintained cordial relations with Soviet leaders for more than half a century, providing Moscow with a vital link to Western industry and technology.

https://www.nytimes.com/1981/11/29/magazine/the-riddle-of-armand-hammer.html

https://hammer.ucla.edu/collections/armand-hammer-collection/

He remains one of the few private citizens in the world allowed to fly his personal jet into the U.S.S.R. Now, a squabble over a small family inheritance threatens to bring Hammer joltingly back to earth.

TURN BACK TIME DAY

MIND

Dolley Madison 1768

http://www.history.com/topics/first-ladies/dolley-madison

The New Dolly (many companies ignored the “e,” although she spelled her name “Dolley”) was a safer, less complex version of the old. She appeared on china plates, in doll form, on cigar wrappers, and, later, on packaging for cakes, ice cream, and dairy products. Her name was used to sell wine, silver and dinnerware patterns, bedspreads, stockings, hats, and even watches. To Americans, “Dolly Madison” implied grace, elegance, and a national pride.

https://nypost.com/2017/01/24/a-night-on-the-red-bull-billionaires-posh-private-island/

https://www.redbull.com/us-en/

Before launching, Mateschitz hired a market research firm to test Red Bull’s acceptance. The result was a catastrophe. “People didn’t believe the taste, the logo, the brand name,” he recalls now with a smile. “I’d never before experienced such a disaster.”

He ignored the recommendations, and went on with his project.

James Stewart 1908 – watch The Philadelphia Story

https://www.jimmy.org/

IT RESULTED IN JIMMY STEWART’S ONLY COMPETITIVE OSCAR.

The beloved actor had been nominated for Best Actor the year before, for Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, and would be nominated another three times after this. But The Philadelphia Story was his only lifetime win, surprising those (including himself) who thought Henry Fonda deserved it for The Grapes of Wrath. (Some observers felt it was Stewart’s compensation for not getting the Mr. Smith win.) In 1995, Stewart won an Honorary Oscar.

SANDWICH DAY

MIND

Bertrand Russell 1872

http://bertrandrussell.org/

The need to be tolerant of the belief and views of others: Though Russell described himself as an atheist and on some occasions as an agnostic, he was very tolerant of the religious beliefs and opinions of other people. He never denied the existence of God and neither did he acknowledge his existence. He was once believed to have said he cannot deny the existence of the Christian God just the same way that he cannot deny the existence of the Olympic god. His opinion on religion was that despite its positive benefits, it is mostly harmful to people. But despite his stand on the subject of religion, he never condemned the followers or adherents of any religion. This proves the need for tolerance and respect for the views of others even if you don’t believe in such views.

https://www.freeforall.org/4-important-lessons-we-can-learn-from-bertrand-russells-life/

He was arguably the greatest philosopher of the 20th century and the greatest logician since Aristotle. Analytic philosophy, the dominant philosophy of the twentieth century, owes its existence more to Russell than to any other philosopher.

Pope John Paul II 1920

http://www.jp2shrine.org/en/about/jp2bio.html

John Paul II didn’t become a heroic soul despite his suffering, he became one precisely because of it. His response to personal pain wasn’t to retreat from the world, but to embrace it with the love of Jesus himself, whose Sacred Heart is simultaneously the icon of profound pain and perfect charity.

Bob Saget’s net worth is $100 million. The star behind our buddy Danny Tanner is well-known for the polarity between his family-friendly TV roles and his so-very-NSFW stand-up act.

ALASKA APPRECIATION DAY

MIND

William Seward 1801

http://www.sewardhouse.org/

To most people the name William Henry Seward brings to mind the Secretary of State under Abraham Lincoln and Andrew Johnson. It was during Johnson’s presidency that Seward negotiated the purchase of Alaska from Russia on March 30, 1867 for 7.2 million dollars. At the time this purchase was thought to be a waste of money and was given the nickname of “Seward’s Folly” or “Seward’s ice box”. (The cost was approximately 2 cents per acre). On Jan 3, 1959 Alaska became our 49th state. After Seward retired at the end of the Andrew Johnson administration, a neighbor in Auburn asked Seward what he considered his greatest achievement as Secretary of State. He replied, “The purchase of Alaska, but it will take the country a generation to appreciate it.”

Its roast pork, extra sharp provolone and then it’s topped with broccolini. It’s just one of the most balanced sandwiches I’ve had.

For years, Sopranos actress Jamie-Lynn Sigler attended the Race to Erase MS Gala—an annual black-tie fundraiser in Los Angeles—to lend her star power to help find a cure for the neurological disease. What no one knew was that Sigler wasn’t there to support a friend or merely embrace another important cause—she was there as someone living with the disease.

He Dresses Simple

If you notice one thing about this young billionaire it is that he wears the same style of outfit every day. He wears the same gray t-shirt, jeans, and hoodie. His entire wardrobe probably costs less than $700, and it probably costs less than $200 a year to keep his wardrobe updated. Considering that the average American family spends around $1,700 a year on clothing, Zuckerberg definitely has the right idea on saving money.

Know Your Money:  Do you know what you spend money on? Do you know what you are invested in? Do you know where all of your accounts are? Do you know how to access them?  Jasmine, our heroine, did not have the answers to any of these questions.  She had no budget. She had no concept of how much things cost.  She just bought whatever she wanted indiscriminately.  She had no idea what her money was invested in.

Stephen Colbert 1964

http://www.cc.com/shows/the-colbert-report

Accept suffering? Learn to love loss and pain, even the loss of family? These are countercultural ideas. Clearly they have immense meaning for Colbert, and this acceptance has granted him great freedom. This makes sense from a religious point of view. After all, Jesus’ crucifixion is at the same time the most regrettable crime ever committed by humanity, and the source of our salvation. But Colbert’s words are still shocking. LOVE that tragedy? How is it possible?

It won’t be like this for long.

In “It Won’t Be Like This For Long,” Rucker reminds us all of the importance of perseverance and courage. We’ve all hit rough patches in our lives, and maybe even lost our faith and hope. That’s why it’s so important to push through the hard times. Rucker says, “It won’t be like this for long. One day soon we’ll look back laughing.” Yes, it’s a basic reminder, but one that we sometimes so easily forget!

If the sayings of the late Yogi Berra are to be taken literally, quite a few dead people will be attending his funeral.

Rami Malek 1981 – watch Bohemian Rhapsody

https://twitter.com/itsramimalek?lang=en

Rami Malek said he felt “incredibly insecure” the moment he put in the prop teeth designed to make him look like Freddie Mercury – and immediately realized how important the real teeth had been to the development of the Queen icon’s character.

Malek has been connected with Oscar rumors for his performance in Bohemian Rhapsody, which opens in theaters on Nov. 2. He previously revealed he’d had the prop teeth coated in gold and kept them as a memento, noting it was “probably the most ostentatious thing” he’d ever done, and that it was “in the spirit of Freddie.”
