No idea what I just watched, but all I knew is that it needed to be shared here. The cinema, the music, the camera angles. Definitely one of the best pieces I’ve EVER seen by Leonardo Dalessandri.
Written March 30th, 1973, a letter by Mr. E.B. White in response to a man who had lost his faith in humanity:
Dear Mr. Nadeau:
As long as there is one upright man, as long as there is one compassionate woman, the contagion may spread and the scene is not desolate. Hope is the thing that is left to us, in a bad time. I shall get up Sunday morning and wind the clock, as a contribution to order and steadfastness.
Sailors have an expression about the weather: they say, the weather is a great bluffer. I guess the same is true of our human society — things can look dark, then a break shows in the clouds, and all is changed, sometimes rather suddenly. It is quite obvious that the human race has made a queer mess of life on this planet. But as a people we probably harbor seeds of goodness that have lain for a long time waiting to sprout when the conditions are right. Man’s curiosity, his relentlessness, his inventiveness, his ingenuity have led him into deep trouble. We can only hope that these same traits will enable him to claw his way out.
Hang on to your hat. Hang on to your hope. And wind the clock, for tomorrow is another day.
Sincerely,
E. B. White

We can only hope that these same traits will enable him to claw his way out – love this line. Have a good weekend folks!
Based on the piece “So You Want To Be A Writer” by Charles Bukowski, “Live True” is an incredible call to action to a life lived with purpose and intention, rather than instruction. Well composed.
|when it is truly time, and if you have been chosen, it will do it by itself and it will keep on doing it until you die or it dies in you. there is no other way. and there never was.
It’s no doubt that GoPro has become one of the most widely-used cameras to document life’s adventure, but what’s even better is that their customers do all the marketing for them! GoPro recently released the GoPro 4 (complete with 4K capabilities) and has managed to continue in the vision of what their company is all about – life’s adventures.
“No matter where you were 5 years ago, I hope that today you are closer to your dreams. I know that everything hasn’t gone exactly the way you planned, it hasn’t for me either. But our job isn’t to plan. Our job includes 3 responsibilities: 1. To dream 2. To believe that dream is attainable 3. To work hard everyday towards that dream. Let God handle the rest.”
J. Cole has successfully made it into the top 20 list for the wealthiest artists that exist at the moment. Dream, believe, work hard, and let God.
I’ve been a huge fan of what Gavin has created over at ZenPencils for a while now, and figured this was a perfect opportunity to stir the pot from the usual videos that have been going up recently. In a nutshell, Gavin takes inspirational quotes from well-known people and turns them into comics and cartoons, and has been incredibly successful at combining the two!
In the cartoon above, he adapts the quote from a commencement speech that Shonda Rhimes (screenwriter, director and television producer) gave at Dartmouth (seen here.) In it, she gives incredible advice on not only following your dreams, but understanding the work, persistence, and sacrifice that goes along with it. Talk is cheap, action is not!
