1. In this 5 minute TED Talk, David Brooks discusses the old-age dillema: should you live for your resumé or your eulogy? Worth giving a look, and definitely worth giving a thought.

2. I'm a sucker for old hollywood films and the movie-going traditions that were tied to that era. It's awful to see more and more theatres closing down every year, and - with the changing of our society - the loss of many of the little things that made the experience of going to the cinema an event. 

3. Amazing photographs of airports seen from above. 

4. Boys Don't Cry.... or do they? 

5. And lastly, a tiny bit of humour with Dear Doris Day. 

Cheers!

And remember: mum's the word.

Mid Twenties Crisis

  Last week, I was feeling a bit worried with how little I seem to have accomplished at 23. 

Paul Simon was 23 when he wrote The Sound of Silence.

John Lennon was 27 when he wrote A Day in the Life.

George Harrison, at 25, composed While My Guitar Gently Weeps, and at 26, Something.

Citizen Kane? This classic was directed, written and produced by Orson Welles at 26. 

Richard Branson founded Virgin at 20.

  I'm not assuming with this list that I'm some sort of a genius, nor that I was born with a natural 'out of this world' talent that must (almost mandatorily) be rewarded, no. 

  Still, I thought it would be nice to know I have the chance or possibility to achieve some success, in spite of the fact that I'm almost half way through my 20s...

  Long story short: In this two-episode essay, I found the little ego boost I was looking for.
