Mix It Up
Which brings me to today's quote(s), from Booker T. Washington (born April 5th 1856):
“Success in life is founded upon attention to the small things rather than to the large things; to the every day things nearest to us rather than to the things that are remote and uncommon."
"I have learned that success is to be measured not so much by the position that one has reached in life as by the obstacles which he has had to overcome while trying to succeed."
April 5th also marks Spencer Tracy and Bette Davis' birthdays, and as I spent all evening at rehearsal (see, I did get out of bed!) I was clearly celebrating the legends in acting who have come before and the work that they inspire.
Today, in 1994, Kurt Cobain committed suicide. Of course, I was Nirvana obsessed as a pre-teen/teenager. It was when my depression/angst was all beginning and who didn't feel like Nirvana spoke directly to them? It was all a little before my time, but that didn't stop me trying to bring the Seattle grunge look to an English Boarding School in 1997.
