Incredible video. Afghan dad jokingly says school is only for boys. Watch his remarkable daughter - who can’t be more than 5 or 6 years old - respond with these arguments.

Afghan girls have been denied access to schools and universities. This little girl's courage represents the collective voice of countless Afghan girls who yearn for equal educational opportunities.

As an advocate for girls' education the father's teasing is simply to highlight an important message: that the Taliban - another backward regime - are harming the people of his country.

It’s time the world is done with them.

Ditto the “Islamic” Republic in Iran #regime

Creative chaos is great for storytelling. Fascinating backstory of Jaws

[Billy Oppenheimer @bpoppenheimer]

In Jaws, you don’t see the shark until 1 hour and 21 minutes into the movie.

That wasn’t the plan.

According to the script, the mechanical shark, “Bruce,” was supposed to get way more screen time. But Bruce was built for and tested in a North Hollywood freshwater tank.

Oops:

Jaws was to be the first major motion picture shot in the Atlantic Ocean. The first time the mechanical shark got into the ocean, the electrical substructure was destroyed by the salt water.

So director Steven Spielberg had to film the movie without his main character.

This, Spielberg said,

“torqued up the suspension of the movie…Rather than seeing the shark in every scene, I played a lot of the fear from the people in the water, from seeing their legs kicking, from the point of view of the camera moving along the surface of the water. That’s what turned the movie into more of an exercise in suspense than just a horror film.”

“So if you had the shark when you wanted it,” Spielberg was asked, “you probably would have had a different movie?”

“I probably would have made a movie that wouldn’t have been as successful,” Spielberg said. “I think the film would have made half the money had the shark worked.”

Jaws had a record-setting $7 million opening weekend and grossed $100 million in its first 59 days, passing “The Godfather” as the highest-grossing film in history.

Takeaway 1:

The iconic POV scenes in Jaws were forced out of necessity.

Innovations are often forced by limitations. Tony Hawk, for example, is credited with being the first skateboarder to ollie into his aerials.

"It wasn’t like I was trying to create movement," he said. Hawk was too small and skinny "to get the inertia to get in the air like other skaters."

Because of his limitations, Hawk changed skateboarding forever...

Takeaway 2:

In Jaws, you don’t see the shark until 1 hour and 21 minutes into the movie.

“This goes to show,” @_coleschafer writes, "that anticipation is scarier than confrontation."

The Stoic philosopher Seneca famously wrote, "We suffer more in imagination than in reality.”

---

"If you break the human struggle down to one word," Jerry Seinfeld says, "it's CONFRONT. And so, I approach everything that way."

Confront the reality that the shark is broken. Confront the problem you're putting off. Confront the hardest task on your to-do list. Confront the workout. Confront the blank page.

Anticipation is scarier than confrontation.

The Queen was always more than just our monarch; she was the change in our pocket, the lyrics in our anthem and the unwavering constant in our lives.

Plus she was best mates with Paddington. If you ask me, that’s a legacy worth celebrating

I needed to hear this today

[Mark Manson @Markmanson]

The easiest way to start is to start small.

- Run 100 meters
- Meditate for one minute
- Write one paragraph
- Skip one dessert
- Read one page

Then challenge yourself to do more. You'll find that doing something small often motivates you to do more and keep going.
