Singularity

Kaare Klint's special design classic – The Propeller Stool – was designed in 1930. However, it was not officially presented until the Joiners Guild Furniture Exhibition in 1964. The simple principle of the stool is a frame with crossing propeller shaped legs which - when folded - form a round stick.

Say what?

What’s the one piece of advice you wish you’d been given in your mid-twenties?

Don’t worry about where or who you’re going to be in five years. Like high school, you’re going to look back and wish you had done so many things differently. Know that and do them differently now. Focus on what’s in front on you. Work on the relationship you have with yourself first. Slow down. Enjoy today. It’s okay to not know. Eat alone in restaurants. Stop trying to prove something. Seek growth instead of validation. Shatter your veneer. Be heard. Draw boundaries. Pull from your Solid Self as much as you can. Sweat. Process (get therapy). Travel. Don’t compartmentalize people. Love fearlessly, even though you’ve been crushed before. Practice gratitude. Eat clean. Toss your scale. Pull yourself out of the victim position. Exercise your forgiveness muscle (you will need this). Don’t be concerned with what others think of you. Step out of line and jump into life, yours. Accept your story. Don’t chase paper. Seek truth. Be patient.

Ever Wonder How Anthony Bourdain Came to Be ANTHONY BOURDAIN? (and What He Looked Like in 1972?)

"He taught me early that the value of a dish is the pleasure it brings you; where you are sitting when you eat it--and who you are eating it with--are what really matter. Perhaps the most important life lesson he passed on was: Don't be a snob. It's something I will always at least aspire to--something that has allowed me to travel this world and eat all it has to offer without fear or prejudice. To experience joy, my father taught me, one has to leave oneself open to it."

Beauty is unbearable, drives us to despair, offering us for a minute the glimpse of an eternity that we should like to stretch out over the whole of time.
