Work is king – In order to succeed you need to have passion, energy and be willing to put in a TON of work. People often get turned off by the word work. It tends to be synonymous with pain. In some ways that could be true. No matter what you do there will always be some aspects of it that you don’t enjoy doing. The best way to create your own success is to do something that you love. When you love what you do the work comes easy and everything else you’re looking for follows.

“Now that you know what’s possible let me tell you what’s required. You are required to work your f***ing ass off.”

“Resident Evil: The Final Chapter” (2017) One positive aspect of the “Resident Evil” series not being much to write home about is that it’s followed the opposite trajectory of most enterprises: It’s generally gotten better as it’s gone along. “The Final Chapter” links up to the original film so well you’ll almost believe it was the plan all along. If this really is the final chapter, it’s a satisfying bookend.

CLEAN OUT THE FRIDGE DAY

Jane Austen 1775

Karma will always come back to get you

Jane Austen and Justin Timberlake can agree on at least one thing: What goes around comes around. (Although, if her characters were based at all on real people, “Cry me a river,” is probably something she would’ve liked to say to a few of them.) If you’re going to be a jerk, you’re going to get what you deserve in the world of Austen. In Emma, superficial Mr. Elton wanted a rich and pretty wife, and he landed one, but, man, is she annoying. Spoiled Maria Bertram ran off with the aforementioned Mr. Crawford in Mansfield, bringing scandal to her affable and super-rich husband, and she ended up spending the rest of her life with her stingy and insufferable Aunt Norris. Caroline Bingley of P&P and Mary Crawford of Mansfield Park, though beautiful and cunning, don’t get what they’ve spent the whole novel scheming for and have to settle for something less. Sometimes the punishment is merely obscurity, but for some, that’s bad enough.

https://hellogiggles.com/reviews-coverage/movies/timeless-lessons-jane-austen/

Could modern cognitive theories explain character development in one of Austen’s most famous heroines — Pride and Prejudice‘s Elizabeth Bennett? Phillips thinks Bennett’s distractibility was key to Austen’s characterization of her lively mind — and that Austen herself was drawing on the contemporary theories of cognition in her time.

http://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2012/10/09/162401053/a-lively-mind-your-brain-on-jane-austen

  1. Pride and Prejudice– Oh dear, how could I rank Austen’s most popular novel at #3? Actually, lots of scholars would put it even lower. Austen herself speculated it was “too light and bright and sparkling” (hint: kidding). The pacing here is Austen’s best, and of course, to know Lizzy Bennet is to love her; the chemistry between her and Mr. Darcy is legendary for a good reason. P&P is Austen’s grown-up fairy tale. It’s all here — serious romantic tension, painful separations, surprise twists in the plot, triumph over the petty and the pompous, and a five-star happy ending.

https://www.amazon.com/Jane-Austen-Book-Club/dp/B000ZS8GW6

*I’m a big believer in karma. Hopefully through improving your mind, body, and soul this year, you’ve become a better person. A person who need not fear bad karma ever again. Your last suggested reading of the year is Pride and Prejudice. You’ve only got 2 weeks to read it before the end of the year.

Nero 37

Nero, on his own, could not make a decision.  It seemed as though the fire had removed his ability to be an effective leader.  His senior advisers – such as Seneca – urged him to act decisively.

Pondering what to do, Nero had an idea.  Rome would remain the capital, but he would take advantage of the fire’s destruction to start again.  The city had to be rebuilt – why not make it truly magnificent?

Nero envisioned a new Rome made of marble and stone, instead of wood.  Wide roads, forums, temples, art and other beautiful things would feature most prominently.

The separation of immigrant parents and their children at the U.S.-Mexico border this summer was one of those moments when Norman could not turn away. He flew to San Antonio, spent the wee hours of a midweek June morning filling Walmart shopping carts with toys, books and book bags, and then delivered the assorted items to those children. Still, Norman was disappointed.

Before his impromptu trip to San Antonio this offseason, he donated $100,000 and raised an additional $150,000 over a two-week period to assist residents of Puerto Rico after the island was ravaged by Hurricane Maria last fall. Half of his initial pledge went to the Boys & Girls Clubs of Puerto Rico. In honor of his fundraising efforts, Norman was named a “community MVP” by the NFL Players Association, which made a $10,000 contribution to a charity of his choice.

Last summer, Norman’s Starz24 Foundation raised money to provide middle school students in the District with backpacks and school supplies and raised nearly $100,000 for additional outreach programs.

But Norman doesn’t want credit. He wants help.

Naturally, I loved the showcases, the cars and “Barker’s Beauties.” But what kept me coming back was the daily lesson in the principles of behavioral finance. If you wanted to know how to exploit — or get trapped by — market inefficiencies and the often irrational behavior of competitors, “The Price Is Right” was essential.

How to Overcome Irrational Decision Making

Regardless if you believe in behavioral finance or not, the fact is we as humans make irrational decisions all of the time. In order to improve our finances, we have to improve upon the choices we make by decreasing the likelihood of irrational decisions.

How do we do this? There are a few steps to help us, including:

  • Get all the information: don’t just look for information that supports your beliefs. Seek out information that contradicts it and put all of the information together to make a smarter decision.
  • Keep emotions in check: we never make wise decisions when we are in an emotional state. As a result, we need to understand when our emotions are driving our decisions. The more you can sit back and calm down so you can think with a clear mind, the more likely you will be to make smarter choices.
  • Take your time: I touched on this with the point above, but here it is again. Take your time before you make any decision. Collect all information, wait for your emotions to not factor in, and allow yourself to think clearly about the issue. The faster we make decisions, the more likely we make the wrong one. Don’t give in to the pressure and take your time when making decisions.

*Before investing or making a big purchase, get all the information, keep emotions in check, and take your time.

And let me say it plainly: In that cause, and in this campaign, we welcome people of faith. America is not us and them. I think of what Ron Reagan said of his father a few weeks ago, and I want to say this to you tonight: I don’t wear my own faith on my sleeve. But faith has given me values and hope to live by, from Vietnam to this day, from Sunday to Sunday. I don’t want to claim that God is on our side. As Abraham Lincoln told us, I want to pray humbly that we are on God’s side. And whatever our faith, one belief should bind us all: the measure of our character is our willingness to give ourselves for others and for our country.

“Redd Foxx” wasn’t his real name.

Foxx was born John Elroy Sanford in St. Louis on December 9, 1922. He spent his early teens on the Chicago’s south side, moved to New York in the 1940s, and began hanging out with the man who would become known as Malcolm X. It was Malcolm who dubbed the young comic “Chicago Red” because of his reddish hair. Others called him “Foxy,” so Sanford combined both for his stage name: “Redd Foxx.” A quarter century later, his Sanford And Son character would be named after his father and brother: Fred G. Sanford.

Davis led a controversial life. He converted to Judaism after his accident. He overcame addictions to drugs, gambling, and alcohol. He dated actress Kim Novak, and was the victim of racist threats when he married Swedish actress May Britt; that interracial relationship cost him billing at President John F. Kennedy’s inaugural ball in 1961 due to concerns about the political fallout from his appearance. While Davis was active in the civil rights movement, he broke with many in the African American community by openly supporting President Richard Nixon in his 1972 bid for reelection—most African Americans opposed him.

This is how Rivers, a Charger since 2004, didn’t have to relocate even though his team did. In order to remain a San Diegan, Rivers invested in just about the most L.A. vehicle ever. Three days a week during the season he will make the commute from his San Diego home to the Chargers’ Costa Mesa facility. It’s a trek many know too well – and dread. Rivers will do it in a different, more efficient manner.

Essentially, his mode of transportation is a mobile man cave with the seats like those in a first class airplane set side-by-side in the back facing forward, plenty of room for a 6-foot-5 quarterback to fully recline while watching film on the 40-inch television screen separating the front seat and rear cabin. There is satellite TV, WiFi and a small refrigerator Rivers would rather you call a cooler.

For upwards of $200,000 (plus a driver’s salary), anyone can make the freeway melt away.

Still, we’re talking about a man who likes frills the way he likes interceptions. Rivers lives as about as modestly as one can when his career earnings are bumping up against $200 million.
