ecantwell: On average, odd years have been the best for me. I’m at a point where everyone I meet looks like a version  of someone I already know. Without fail, fall makes me nostalgic for things I’ve never experienced. The sky is molting. I don’t know if this is global warming or if the atmosphere is reconfiguring itself to accommodate all the new bright suffering. I am struck by an overwhelming...

New Year's Resolutions
Me: What if I started getting up at 6 am every morning this year?
Chris: What? No. Why?
Me: To be more productive?
Chris: No.
Me: Okay. Maybe I'll go on a juice cleanse.
Chris: You don't need to go on a juice cleanse.
Me: Just to get the toxins out of my body. But this one online costs $325.
Chris: That's definitely a no.
Me: What if I had a different resolution for every month? Like, in January I will read for an hour every day, and in February I will eat raw food, and in March I'll do yoga every morning.
Chris: ...
Me: Well, I want SOME resolution.
Chris: The best thing for you this year would be to stop feeling compelled to change your life. Your life is wonderful. You're healthy. You're productive. Why don't we just try to enjoy the ride this year?

filosoffessa: qualcuno parte e qualcuno resta e aspetta. in mezzo il tempo come mare, quello che ci tocca sempre nuotare e talvolta si beve. quello che non ha un orizzonte finito e lascia intatto ogni desiderio. e allora è questo che ti auguro, di andare, se vai, e di tornare a colori. di restare, se resti, e di saper aspettare perché tutto, prima o poi, arriva. e di desiderare, sempre....

We don’t just encourage risk taking at our offices: we demand failure. If you’re not failing every now and then, you’re probably not advancing. Mistakes are the predecessors to both innovation and success, so it is important to celebrate mistakes as a central component of any culture. This kind of culture can only be created by example — it won’t work if it’s forced...
