Happy Valentine’s Day to All of You
BOOK OF THE WEEK
Simplify Your Workday
By Barbara Hemphill & Pamela Quinn Gibbard
This book came out in 1998. I read it many years ago and every so often I review the sections I highlighted. I still think it is a fantastic book and so easy to read. I wish I had written it.
Offers advice on managing time, streamlining one’s work routine, organizing one’s office, utilizing technology, handling stress, and working at home (Source: Amazon)
MOVIE OR TV SHOW OF THE WEEK
What Men Want
I just saw this film and it certainly isn’t a great film, but it is entertaining and has some nice messages.
Take a minute to watch this trailer and see what you think.
MUSIC OF THE WEEK
Normally, I discourage addictions. But since Valentine’s Day is coming up, you may as well face it; you are:
Addicted to Love
By Robert Palmer
ART OF THE WEEK
The Lovers
By René Magritte
EXTRAORDINARY PERSON OF THE WEEK
Cupid
In classical mythology, Cupid is the god of desire, erotic love, attraction and affection. He is often portrayed as the son of the love goddess Venus and the war-god Mars.
His Greek counterpart is Eros. Although Eros is generally portrayed as a slender winged youth in Classical Greek art, during the Hellenistic period, he was increasingly portrayed as a chubby boy. During this time, his iconography acquired the bow and arrow that represent his source of power: a person, or even a deity, who is shot by Cupid’s arrow is filled with uncontrollable desire.
THIS WEEK’S JOKE
Well, 50 euros is a lot of money.
PHYSICAL TRAITS
Please don’t let drugs and alcohol destroy your life, like it did this great actor.
CHARACTER TRAITS
I understand what Trent is saying and I believe it is true for the majority of us, but it is certainly more challenging for a few people.
SOCIAL TRAITS
LEARNING TRAITS
There are some people who never learn this, please don’t be one of them.
MISCELLANEOUS
Just in case you ever start thinking to highly of yourself, remember this.

Happy Valentine’s day to you! Even of I don’t like Valentine’s Day, I do like Greek Mythology. My favourite story is that of Amor/Eros/Cupid and Psyche. Which kind of matches the whole “follow your heart but take your brains with you”.
And loved the €50 fine after dying, lol!
