Learn From A Mouse: Attitude Is Everything

I found this thanks to a really well crafted tweet from @TravisGreenlee. It read simply: ‘Is This The End, or Just The Beginning?’ and then a link. A kind of classic headline — vague enough that it could mean anything, intriguing enough to get someone to click. What i found was a brief post about the economy and the power we have in the face of circumstances beyond our control. We have the power of choice, we have the power to respond. For me, these choices and actions are rooted in attitude — the right attitude cannot guarantee success but the wrong attitude can certainly predicate failure.

Anyway, this video was on the post and it’s simply amazing. It’s about a mouse…and a mouse-trap. And if you’re like me, you’re going to spend a few moments cringing, waiting for the inevitable ‘CRACK!’ of the trap…but then something magical happens. Something entirely about having the right attitude in the face of circumstances beyond your control. Enjoy!

What kind of Foodie are you?

I dropped in at my favorite go-to ‘what the heck am I making for dinner’ web site today: Saveur. (This week I can thank the site for two amazing dinners: Achiote-Rubbed Butternut Squash Tacos and a Mexican Seafood Cocktail which requires only a Corona and some classical latin guitar music to set the perfect mood.)

So the Saveur Foodie Profile quiz caught my eye (use the link provided, it can be hard to find sometimes on the site) and here are the results. While it’s not dead on in the details, I’d say the spirit is pretty accurate: I’d sooner save up for some amazing food experiences than a new car, I like authentic cuisine that is unique to the locale I happen to be visiting, etc.

Your Profile: Deluxe & Delicious

You spend more on food than you do on either clothing or shelter.
