Week 2: 5-Weekly Gems
The Movie I am watching — Hair Love, by Pixar Pictures, an Oscar®-winning animated short film from Matthew A. Cherry, tells the super short story of a father doing his daughter’s hair for the first time, in preparation for a very important heartfelt visit.
The book that I am reading The Gift of Adversity, By Juri Love, a true survivor. In Japan, where she faced child sexual abuse, domestic violence, bullying, and as a teen, homelessness. Despite the adversity, she has overcome many obstacles and went on to attend Berklee College of Music. Upon graduation, Juri created a nonprofit to help juvenile offenders learn music. Touching story from an inspiring artist.
Something I found on Quora — How can one live life to the fullest? An interesting story about a gentleman that was walking through an elephant camp and noticed something about these massively powerful creatures.
A quote that’s on my mind — "Everyday stand guard at the door of your mind. " – Jim Rohn
What I’m listening to — Formula (YouTube) by Labrinth
