NATIONAL CAPPUCCINO DAY
MIND
Margaret Mitchell 1900
It was boredom that caused 25-year-old Margaret Mitchell to write Gone With the Wind.
*You watched the movie just a few days ago, now read the book. See what boredom can lead to.
BODY
Giancarlo Stanton 1989
Stanton performs 100 push-ups and 100 pull-ups each day
*Perform 100 push-ups and 100 pull-ups today – no matter how long it takes. Get to a batting cage and hit bombs.
SOUL
Minnie Riperton 1947
Musicians and vocalists pay tribute to soul legend Minnie Riperton. Especially Riperton’s mid-’70s hit, “Loving You.”
*Listen to Minnie Riperton today with someone you love. It’s good for the soul.
MONEY
Bonnie Raitt 1949
Pitchfork: You found your biggest success in your forties – was it strange hitting the top at a comparatively late age?
BR: “But that’s not how I measure success. How I measure success is getting to make another record and being able to the come back to the same town and play again cause you sold out the last time. To me, I was successful all the way up to Nick of Time. I had a moderate, steady following, and for about four years there, I had a much bigger following. My career is based on the slow build of an audience based on putting on a good show live and putting out a record every couple of years. I was already doing really well in terms of my goals, to keep my fans coming back.”
*Remember that YOU measure your own success. What are your business or financial goals? If you are meeting those goals, it doesn’t matter what others think. Listen to Bonnie Raitt for justification.
ENTERTAINMENT
Milton Bradley 1836 – play The Game of Life
This game attempts to mirror life events many people go through from going to college, raising a family, buying a home, working and retiring.
The intent of the game is to have the most assets at the end of the game, assets are earned primarily by working and earning tokens with dollars amount on them.
*Get together with friends and family to play The Game of Life board game today. If you haven’t played it since you were a kid, you’ll be surprised at the life lessons that happen. See if it mirrors your life so far.
FOOD
Gordon Ramsay 1966 – cappuccino of white beans
“When you saw those two Kitchen Nightmares condensed into one – last year when they had those 298 ‘fucks’ – I wasn’t proud of that. There has come a time when, at the age of 43, I’m getting a bit tired of the foul-mouthed bully chef.”
National Cappuccino Day – November 8
Enjoy a cup on November 8 as we celebrate National Cappuccino Day!
“This soup is one of my signature dishes. A thick white bean puree is transformed into a light and frothy “cappuccino”, then garnished with exquisite truffle shavings.
