Might order a @mralistairgreen cameo message but with a very very specific script (the opening monologue of my leading character in my sitcom) & then flog it to production companies saying he’s in & is very excited attached seeing as I’m CLEARLY NOT GOOD ENOUGH FOR THEIR PRECIOU

I was taught by Peter in my last year of 6th form.
He was a brilliant, witty, inspirational teacher. He was really kind.
Timothy Spall’s performance is probably as close to perfect as can be.
His physicality, his hands.. everything. #peterfarquhar

The Dewey family cat, who died in 1910, meant enough to his owner to be honored with a gravestone that stands today, over 113 years later. It reads: "He was only a cat, but he was human enough to be a great comfort in hours of loneliness and pain."

In 1971, Phil Knight was teaching accounting at Portland State University.

One day, he overheard a graphic design student say that she couldn’t afford to take a painting class.

Knight paid her $35 to design a logo for his start-up shoe company.

When he saw the design, he said,

“I don't know if I like it, but maybe it will grow on me.”

Knight didn’t have time to fuss over the logo. "We had a deadline," he explains. He had signed a contract with a factory to produce 3,000 pairs of Nike's first shoe. "Production was starting on the shoe that Friday."

Before then, they needed a logo.

“You don’t like it?” Knight’s chief operating officer asked of the student’s design.

“I don’t love it,” Knight said, “but we’re out of time. It’ll have to do.”

Takeaway 1:

It's said that if not for constraints and deadlines, nothing would get made.

George Lucas, for instance, worked on drafts of the first Star Wars for years. "I never arrived at a degree of satisfaction where I thought the screenplay was perfect," he said.

But then he struck a deal with a movie executive from United Artists—"At that point, it became an obligation," Lucas said.

"If I hadn't been forced to shoot the film, I would doubtless still be rewriting it now."

Takeaway 2:

At Nike's IPO in 1980, Phil Knight gave the student who designed the Swoosh 500 shares.

She never sold.

Since the IPO, there have been 7 stock splits. So those 500 shares have become 64,000 shares. At the time of this writing, Nike is at $110/share.

$110/share x 64,000 shares = $7,040,000.

It makes me think of something Robert Greene once told me:

“Above all else, focus on acquiring knowledge and skills. Knowledge and skills are like gold—a currency you will transform into something more valuable than you can imagine."
