CANINE GASTRIC JUICE DAY
MIND
TS Eliot 1888

To appreciate him requires an acknowledgement that his life and work were full of daring, astuteness and a preternaturally acute ear for language. Anything else is bullshit.

*Read the poetry of TS Eliot today. He will change the way you think.
BODY
Serena Williams 1981

For me it’s so important to mix it up. I ran, and then I biked. Then I did elliptical. That didn’t work out so well, because it was boring, so I tried yoga. I started dancing because I couldn’t train when I was sick. We started making up moves, and it was fun. Now I run for 10 minutes, and then I dance.

*Run for 10 minutes and then dance. Play tennis with your sister.
SOUL
Olivia Newton-John 1948

After her struggle with cancer and the loss of her love, Newton-John has become respected and admired just as much for her courage as for her music.

*Olivia Newton John is currently battling cancer for the third time. Think of holding a fundraiser with all proceeds going to her cancer centre. Maybe a drive-in showing of Grease
MONEY
Ivan Pavlov 1849
https://www.nobelprize.org/prizes/medicine/1904/pavlov/biographical/
HE FINANCED HIS LAB BY SELLING CANINE GASTRIC JUICE AS A CURE FOR INDIGESTION.
Pavlov kept his physiology lab running by selling something that he had easy access to: canine gastric juice. While conducting experiments on dogs’ digestive systems, Pavlov collected gastric juice from hungry dogs that stared at a big bowl of meat all day. Pavlov paid an assistant to run the gastric juice collection operation, and he sold thousands of containers of the juice each year to people around Europe, who drank it daily to treat dyspepsia (indigestion). Yum!

*Think of ways that you can raise money to keep your entrepreneurial ideas alive. Sure you can get investors and small business loans, but that is money that comes off the top. Start raising and saving money for your business today.
ENTERTAINMENT
George Gershwin 1898
http://smtd.umich.edu/ami/gershwin/?page_id=66
I’ll begin by pointing out that many people, to this day, consider George Gershwin to be the most gifted musical composer that America has ever produced. And I am one of those people. And it’s especially true when you consider that he died of a brain tumor at the age of 38. So, his incomparable wealth of music was all produced within a mere 20 years. What kind of genius does that make him?
*Listen to the most gifted musical composer that America has ever produced – George Gershwin.
FOOD
Johnny Appleseed 1774 – Johnny Appleseed Cake

HIS APPLES WEREN’T FOR EATING.
The apples that Chapman favored for planting were small and tart “spitters”—named for what you’d likely do if you took a bite of one. But this made them ideal for making hard cider and applejack. This was a far more valuable crop than edible apples. In The Botany of Desire, Michael Pollan wrote:
Up until Prohibition, an apple grown in America was far less likely to be eaten than to wind up in a barrel of cider. In rural areas cider took the place of not only wine and beer but of coffee and tea, juice, and even water.
Where water could house dangerous bacteria, cider was safe. (And delicious.)
