“Make no little plans. They have no magic to stir men’s blood and probably themselves will not be realized. Make big plans; aim high in hope and work, remembering that a noble, logical diagram once recorded will never die, but long after we are gone will be a living thing, asserting itself with ever-growing insistency. Remember that our sons and grandsons are going to do things that would stagger us. Let your watchword be order and your beacon beauty. Think big.” Source: Make No Little Plans (Daniel Burnham)
If you’ve been singing the lines, “I’m sitting on this bar stool, talking like a damn fool, got the 12 o’clock news blues!” over and over and over during the past 10 days or so, then you’re in good company. Jimmy Fallon, the host of NBC’s uber-popular The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, has been singing the lyrics and jamming along to the song on the show on a regular basis of late, culminating in a shot-by-shot recreation of the song’s infamous 1981 video with actor Paul Rudd this past Friday, April 29, which you can view right here. “It’s the best song I’ve ever heard in my entire life,” Fallon exclaimed about “Too Much Time” to guest Adam Levine on the previous night of the show — and who can blame him?

To be agnostic means to hold the belief that the existence of something, particularly in the context of religion or the supernatural, is unknowable or cannot be proven. Agnostics take the position that it is not possible to affirm or deny the existence of a higher power or ultimate reality with certainty. They often advocate for a skeptical or open-minded approach to questions of spirituality and prefer not to adhere to any specific religious or metaphysical beliefs. Agnosticism is derived from the Greek word “agnostos,” meaning “unknown” or “unknowable.”

Lisa Merlo-Booth writes “People ask me all the time if I truly believe people can change. Usually they’re asking this question about a loved one who, they’re certain, will never change. My answer to them is almost always the same: “Absolutely. I’ve seen people who I swore would never change make complete and thorough life turnarounds.

The space of time in which a great work can now be accomplished is not marvelous. Brain, muscle, materials, and the means of rapid transport are instantly at command. If one has capital and a well-considered plan, the thing does itself. But that which is wonderful and which I can scarcely believe, although I have been in the midst of it, is the noble, artistic result which has come from the work of American artists who have had only a few months’ time to prepare those very designs for the great buildings of the Exposition which have actually been executed with little change from the sketches which were presented in February, 1891. A statement at a dinner in New York city (25 March 1893), as quoted in Daniel H. Burnham, Architect, Planner of Cities (1921) by Charles Moore, Vol. 1, Ch. VI, p. 72-73 Source: Daniel Burnham – Wikiquote
Growing up, we were taught that Christopher Columbus was an ‘explorer’ and Benedict Arnold was a ‘traitor’. It’s good to challenge these thoughts from time to time…
