It is a truth universally acknowledged that a list in possession of three or more items is in want of an Oxford comma.

Realizing now that a lot of people really haven’t read the Iliad or the Odyssey. They just watched Troy (2004) and think it was an accurate and faithful adaptation of the source material. Lol yikes.

26-year-old Polish guitar virtuoso Marcin Patrzałek responds to those claiming his music is fake.
He created this tutorial-style video to show exactly how he plays so incredibly well – and yes, it’s all performed live on a single guitar.
He is incredible! 👌

A scene from Looking for Richard, Al Pacino’s documentary about Shakespeare.

This man, homeless, a beggar, someone most people would walk past without a second glance, someone not thought to be worth a dime, speaks about Shakespeare with remarkable clarity and perspective.

Steve Jobs on Failure (1994):

"I've actually always found something to be very true, which is most people don't get those experiences because they never ask.

I've never found anybody that didn't want to help me if I asked them for help. I always call them up.

I called up, this will date me, but I called up Bill Hewlett when I was 12 years old, and he lived in Palo Alto.

His number was still in the phone book. And he answered the phone himself.

He said, yes?

I said, hi, I'm Steve Jobs. I'm 12 years old. I'm a student in high school, and I want to build a frequency counter. And I was wondering if you had any spare parts I could have.

And he laughed, and he gave me the spare parts to build this frequency counter, and he gave me a job that summer in Hewlett-Packard working on the assembly line, putting nuts and bolts together on frequency counters.

He got me a job in the place that built them. And I was in heaven.

And I've never found anyone who said no or hung up the phone When I call, I just ask.

And when people ask me, I try to be as responsive to pay that debt of gratitude back.

Most people never pick up the phone and call. Most people never ask.

And that's what separates sometimes the people that do things from the people that just dream about them.

You've got to act.

And you've got to be willing to fail.

You've got to be willing to crash and burn with people on the phone, with starting a company, with whatever. If you're afraid of failing, you won't get very far.
