NEW YEARS EVE

MIND

Val Kilmer 1959

“One of the elementary lessons you learn when studying acting is that of mastering the senses. Listening, for example. Real listening requires effort, concentration, and focus. If one wants to act well, one needs to receive information free from personal judgments in order to respond spontaneously and honestly. If you’re really listening, the ear is turned on to receive, and the inner monologue, your own dialogue, is turned off.”

*Go into next year knowing how to listen to people. Practice tonight at a NYE party. When someone is talking to you, receive the information free from personal judgment and respond spontaneously and honestly.

BODY

Gabby Douglas 1995

“When I stood on the podium at the 2012 Games and lowered my head so the gold medal could be placed around my neck, I reflected on many things,”

“I thought about all the sacrifices that had to be made, all the obstacles, and all of the time spent in order for me to achieve my dream. I thought to myself, ‘It was all worth it.’ It was also in that moment that I knew my goal of making it on the 2016 Rio Olympics team was possible.”

*With all of the money that you’ve saved this year, how much could you give back to kids from low-income and at-risk families? If not money, how about time?

MONEY

Savannah Guthrie 1971

“For some reason, I never forgot the time he took my sister and me to the movies when we were little. We were just beyond the age where we could have gotten those “under 10” tickets for a few dollars less. I remember asking my dad, “Why don’t you just get the kids’ tickets?

MIND

Charles Babbage 1791

The ‘Irascible Genius’

Proud and principled, he was capable of incontinent savagery in his public attacks on the scientific establishment, often beyond ordinary sensibility. He offended many whose support he needed behaving sometimes as though being right entitled him to be rude.

“If unwarned by my example, any man shall undertake and shall succeed in really constructing an engine … upon different principles or by simpler mechanical means, I have no fear of leaving my reputation in his charge, for he alone will be fully able to appreciate the nature of my efforts and the value of their results.”

Definition of irascible: marked by hot temper and easily provoked anger

Charles Babbage designed the first automatic computing engines. He invented computers but failed to build them. The first complete Babbage Engine was completed in London in 2002, 153 years after it was designed.

*Don’t be irascible today. You may offend people, whose support you need. Being right doesn’t entitle you to be rude. It may lead to you inventing the next great thing but never building it.

you forever, or you try to make sure that Adam didn’t die in
vain,” Walsh remembers Wright telling him.

moment. I went home, and I stopped feeling sorry for myself.”

From that moment on, John Walsh set out to make
sure his son did not die in vain.

MONEY

Martin Cooper 1928 – inventors of the computer and cell phone share a birthday today.

“Everything we do is an improvement,”

“The challenge is not to create technology for the sake of technology. Technology should only improve people’s lives. If you try to create a technology that is too advanced, people are not going to use it.”

“Good technology could be intuitive, better technology might be transparent, but the best technology is invisible. It solves your problem, it makes you more comfortable, it makes you more productive and you don’t even know it’s there. That’s where we’re going, but we’re a long way from there.”

*As this year is coming to an end, you may be thinking about getting a head start on a business idea for next year. Focus on solving real world problems – something that can improve people’s lives.

Take care of yourself

A fitness nut in his youth, Ripley was also a heavy drinker and, as his business empire grew, he stopped making time to exercise. At just 59 years old, he collapsed and died of a fatal heart attack.

This move will effectively double the holdings of the foundation named for his father, Conrad (who built the hotel empire from nothing).

*Christmas is a great day to let your family know what you will leave them one day. Remind them that it’s not too late to change their ways… and you your will.

**Also let them know about the vacation you’ve booked at a Hilton Hotel in Key West as their Christmas gift. While in Key West next Christmas you will take the African Queen cruise, visit Ripley’s Believe it or Not museum, and celebrate at Jimmy Buffett’s Margaritaville.

Spade built a formidable business empire — one she started out of her one-bedroom Manhattan apartment with her husband — over the course of two decades.

*You too can build a billion dollar business empire out of your apartment. But if that’s not enough and you don’t have the balance that you need in life, it doesn’t matter. If nothing seems to be enough. If nothing makes you happy, you’ve got to seek out help right now.

People are most likely to commit suicide around Christmas time. False. Contrary to popular belief, the suicide rate peaks in the springtime, not the wintertime.
