    Cute Puppy GIF

    Can a GIF be an infographic? Even with a dog this cute, I don’t really know just how you would create a GIF that would be an effective infographic.

    To tell the truth, I’m just sharing this cute dog here, and the question I asked above is just an excuse to share the cute dog.

    Guy Kawasaki's Top 10 Advice Tips

    Guy Kawasaki’s Advice to the Class of 2013 –
    The Top 10 Lessons You’ll Need

    10. Live off your parents as long as you can. Take whole semesters off to travel overseas. Take jobs and internships that pay little or no money. Investigate your passions on your parent’s nickel. Or dime. Or quarter. Or dollar. Your goal should be to extend college to at least six years.

    9. Pursue joy, not happiness. Happiness is temporary and fleeting. Joy, by contrast, is unpredictable. It comes from pursing interests and passions that do not obviously result in happiness.

    8. Embrace the unknown. One of the biggest mistakes you can make in life is to accept the known and resist the unknown. Do exactly the opposite: challenge the known and embrace the unknown.

    7. Learn to speak a foreign language, play a musical instrument, and play non-contact sports. These are the things you’ll appreciate and can do when you are older.

    6. Continue to learn. It gets easier to learn once you’re out of school because it’s easier to see the relevance of why you need to learn.

    5. Learn to like yourself or change yourself until you can like yourself. Fix your problem. Fix your life.

    4. Don’t get married too soon. I got married when I was 32. That’s about the right age. Until you’re about that age, you may not know who you are. You also may not know who you’re marrying.

    3. Play to win, and win to play. Compete to the depth and breadth and height that your soul can reach. Your greatest competition is yourself.

    2. Obey the absolutes. Preserve the absolutes as much as you can. If you never lie, cheat, or steal, you will never have to remember who you lied to, how you cheated, and what you stole.

    1. Enjoy your family and friends. Nothing—not money, power, or fame—can replace your family and friends or bring them back once they are gone.

    David After Dentist viral video

    In May 2008, a father took a video of his 7-year-old son David after having a tooth removed at the dentist. He released this viral video in January 2009. The video has had 118,820,018 views in a little over 4 years. And 136,592,704 million views in nine years.

    As his father noted, This was taken in the parking lot of the dentist office. He was so out of it. The staff was even laughing. This lasted for a few hours and he was fine. He even laughed at the video that night. He is very smart and always has something interesting to say about many different issues. His philosophical reaction to the medication didn’t really surprise us.

    Charlie Bit Me

    Uploaded about six years ago, this viral video of a younger brother biting the finger of his older brother has had over 522 million views on YouTube.

     

     

    As the father noted: Even had I thought of trying to get my boys to do this I probably couldn’t have. Neither were coerced into any of this and neither were hurt (for very long anyway). This was just one of those moments when I had the video camera out because the boys were being fun and they provided something really very funny.
