MIND
Barack Obama 1961
Empower others. So often we think of leadership “as someone at the top who is ordering other people around,” Obama said. He learned that leadership was teaching people who thought they didn’t have a voice to speak up about the things impacting their lives.

SOUL
Billy Bob Thornton 1955
http://www.billybobthornton.net/
One of the first things he spoke about was what it was like growing up with his father, William Raymond “Billy Ray” Thornton, who he described as a hard-headed Irish man. Billy Ray, who used to beat young Billy Bob and take him to accident scenes, had a major impact on his son’s life.
Billy Bob added that although his dad was morbid and couldn’t articulate himself properly, he did, however, help him develop his curiosity, which came in handy when young Thornton started making movies. Billy Ray died when the Fargo actor was 18 and although he admits that he has never quite understood his dad, Billy Bob says he loved him very much.

The Queen Mother was passionate about puddings. Despite her appetite for food and drink, she lived to be 101
Dinner: Chicken Tropicana
Another recipe inspired by the Queen Mother’s trip to Noel Coward’s house in Jamaica. Served in a halved coconut, this is the ultimate kitsch Sixties dish.
Dessert: Tipsy Tart
This brandy-soaked tart provided the perfect excuse for a boozy tea time.
Drink: Bloody Bull
A variation of the classic Bloody Mary cocktail made with vodka, tomato juice and seasoning, the Bloody Bull was an invention of the flamboyant playwright Noel Coward.
