JFK DAY
MIND
John F. Kennedy 1917
“If someone is going to kill me, they are going to kill me.”
Norman Mailer described this as “the wisdom of a man who senses death within him and gambles that he can cure it by risking his life”.
Many respect his coolness when faced with difficult decisions. Others admire his ability to inspire people. Still others think his compassion and his willingness to fight for new government programs to help the poor, the elderly and the ill were most important.
*This is why you want to live life to the fullest – so that you don’t fear death. While alive, be like JFK – have coolness, inspire people, have compassion, and a willingness to help the poor and elderly. If you haven’t figured it out yet, JFK is my favorite president.
BODY
Carmelo Anthony 1984
“But there were times I stayed away from all meats. I played with my diet a lot.”
“It was all fish and vegetables, juices, things like that.”
*Today you live off of fish, vegetables, and juices. Play basketball today and shoot every time you touch the ball – play no defense.
SOUL
Patrick Henry 1736
“Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! — I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!”
*Choose liberty over death.
MONEY
Bob Hope 1903
“If my estate is worth over $50 million, I’ll kiss your ass. I mean that.”
Forbes ultimately estimated a net worth of $115 million – more than enough to collect on Mr. Hope’s bet.
He never paid up.
*Don’t underestimate your worth. You may end up having to kiss someone’s ass.
ENTERTAINMENT
Annette Bening 1958 – watch The Kids are All Right
*Watch Annette Bening almost win an Oscar in The Kids are All Right
FOOD

If you had to eat one meal for the rest of your life, what would it be?
“I’d like to say only Indian food but sometimes it gives me heartburn because of the spices, so I’m going to be realistic and say what I call Mel B’s killer army slop: ground turkey, a lot of chopped garlic and red onion, two tins of tomatoes, red and green peppers, sometimes a chilli pepper and a little bit of sweet corn – boom!”
*Eat Mel B’s killer army slop and wash it all down with JFK’s favorite daiquiri.
