I saw TITANIC in 3D this weekend with my daughter and there’s a great scene in the middle where Leo’s penniless Jack Dawson tells the first class company he’s dining with that he’s got everything he needs right there with him: air in his lungs, a blank sheet of paper and a sense of making every day count. Everyone toasts to “making it count.” On the Titanic, the passengers’ days–their hours––were numbered. But so our ours. The only certainty is that our [...]
Yogini, Meghan Currie, is a divine display of strength and grace. Her choice of Philip Glass as the perfect musical accompaniment inspires movement. At least it does for me.
Sometimes it’s okay to push the BIG RED BUTTON. SoulPancake, brainchild of co-creator, Rainn Wilson, spreads the LOVE. Give a heart a hug and show the love! This is what Content Engine is all about.
What is it about deadlines that gets the job done? To understand why they can are so motivating, I took a peek at the etymology of the word, “deadline.” Etymology, by the way, in narrative terms, is the “origin story” of words and their changing (or evolving) meaning through time. For example, “the whole nine yards” has nothing to do with football. Its derivation is thought to come from WWII, wherein gunners would “give ‘em the full nine yards” by [...]
An innovative and inspired publicity effort to promote the film, Chronicle. Watch as these figures alight to bring the film’s singular marketing image of people flying over Manhattan to life.
An awesome display of strength, grace, flexibility and balance — not to mention yogic presence — set to a perfect track of music to set the body in motion.
Appreciation. We all want it. We all need it. Feels nice to get it. It’s an acknowledgement of what we do and who we are. When we don’t feel appreciated, it can sap our motivation, our ability to perform, to do our best, to serve others. The paradox of appreciation is that in order to get it, you have to give it. If you want to feel more appreciated by others — your spouse, your clients, your kids, your colleagues, [...]
It’s the thought that counts. Isn’t that what they say? I wholeheartedly agree. And I tend to think the thought counting also saves a whole lot of trees. I like to carry with me an attitude of gratitude for all the wonderful things in my life. Often, when my heart is bursting with appreciation, I feel like penning thank you notes to everyone whom I credit with contributing to my blissful state of mind: my wife, my clients, an agent [...]
Not long ago, whenever my son would hear me draw my breath in quickly or make a sound approximating alarm, he’d look at me with the insouciant curiosity of a three year-old and ask, “What’s the panic?” Precisely, my son. What IS the panic? Can anyone tell me? Are movies dead? Have people stopped consuming entertainment? Has media gone down the tubes? Is this the death knell of our business? As my boy is ever quick to remind me, “Dad, [...]
“Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs even though checkered by failure, than it is to rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy nor suffer much because they live in the grey twilight that knows neither victory nor defeat.” ~ Teddy Roosevelt. This quote was inscribed on a plaque on a wall of my father’s office and now it’s inscribed in me. At the start of a new year it’s customary to take stock [...]
