Isaiah 61:11 (ESV) - For as the earth brings forth its sprouts, and as a garden causes what is sown in it to sprout up, so the Lord God will cause righteousness and praise to sprout up before all the nations.
Isaiah 45:8 (NLT) - “Open up, O heavens, and pour out Your righteousness. Let the earth open wide so salvation and righteousness can sprout up together. I, the LORD, created them.
best advice I've received in a long time:
I went to a Social Media Training seminar where Ryland King, a guy who just graduated from UCSB year started a huge non-profit called EENG (Environmental Education for the Next Generation). I asked him how did he have so much motivation and energy to do so much while he was a full-time student.
He told me that he realized he was spending some time sitting in the library, eating cheetos, going on facebook, and half-ass studying when he could have been surfing or eating dinner with a cool girl or guy. He said that he recognizes that he needs breaks and when he procrastinates, he should procrastinate 100%. He won't go to the library unless he knows he's going to hyperfocus and study 100% of the time. The other way he spends his time is enjoying life & not thinking about doing work at all.
IT WAS SO AMAZiNG. I went to the library right after he said that and send out like 10 emails and finished a bunch of work.
He sort of offered me an internship so I just emailed him right now. I'm really inspired that he was able to do so much in so little time, AND make so many friends along the way.
This scared the shit out of me but it's so true: time is life's most luxurious commodity.
This Week's T.O. Events - Apr. 18-24
Roberta Brandes Gratz Speaks on The Battle for Gotham Urbanspace Gallery (401 Richmond St. W) Apr. 20 - 6pm FREE http://cce-presents-roberta-brandes-gratz.eventbrite.com/ Centre for City Ecology presents Roberta Brandes Gratz speaking about her book: The Battle for Gotham: New York in the Shadow of Robert Moses and Jane Jacobs. She is an award-winning journalist, author, lecturer, and urban planning critic. She is also the author of The Living City: Thinking Small in a Big Way and Cities Back from the Edge: New Life for Downtown. She has also been appointed by Mayor Michael Bloomberg to several commissions and advisory boards involving urban development, landmark preservation, and urban sustainability. Gratz is a long-time advocate of the urban policies proposed by Jane Jacobs. She argues that Jacobs' teachings are even more important and relevant in today's urban landscape than they ever were in the past. Her defense of Jane Jacobs comes about as current controversy is being stirred up by critics of Jacobs' work claiming that her work is dated and does not apply to the urban problems of the 21st century.
