MIND
William Kaye Estes 1919

A quiet, reserved scholar who often waited what seemed like an eternity before answering a question, Bill nevertheless became an effective editor of three of psychology’s premier journals

BODY
Venus Williams 1980
My daily routine, all my life, has been all about workouts. I wake up, go play tennis for a few hours, then I go to the gym, and I do a few muscle groups. I do cardio, ride the bike, run, and do plyometrics or a field workout where I’m just sprinting on the field, or interval training, so there’s a lot of different options.

*Play tennis for two hours, then go to the gym and lift. Then pick between the bike, running, or plyometrics.

“As far as my personal growth, my faith has been tested many times,” Cooper said. “I’ve faced adversity a lot, but I remain faithful. So if you remain faithful, and you don’t quit, I believe that the Lord will bless you in all things. That’s how my faith system works.”
*How does your faith system work? Not sure? Amari Cooper may be young, but he’s got a good one. Remain faithful and believe that the Lord will bless you in all things.

Don’t walk — or dream of walking — someone else’s financial path.

*Walk your own financial path. Seek out help, but it’s your money and your path. Listen to Kendrick Lamar for motivation.
ENTERTAINMENT
Barry Manilow 1943
CROSSOVER: Money – So Manilow hired someone to take care of his finances. What he didn’t do, however, was think carefully about hiring the right person.
“I hired the wrong guy,” says Manilow to CNBC. “From ‘Mandy’ all the way through to ‘Copacabana,’ I didn’t see anything. And I didn’t know it until my manager, Garry Kief, came along and said, ‘You know, you have only got $11,000 in the bank.’

*Listen to Barry Manilow while checking up on your money today.
FOOD
Ruth Graves Wakefield 1903 – Tollhouse chocolate chip cookies
http://www.women-inventors.com/Ruth-Wakefield.asp
In 1930, Wakefield was mixing a batch of cookies for her roadside inn guests when she discovered that she was out of baker’s chocolate. She substituted broken pieces of Nestle’s semi-sweet chocolate, expecting it to melt and absorb into the dough to create chocolate cookies. That didn’t happen, but the surprising result helped to make Ruth Wakefield one of the 20th century’s most famous women inventors. When she removed the pan from the oven, Wakefield realized that she had accidentally invented “chocolate chip cookies.”
