The Monday Morning Memo

 

In the solfege system
(Do, Re, Mi, Fa, Sol, La, Ti, Do),
intervals between syllables are
determined as follows: 
• The interval between La and Ti
is a major second (M2).
• The interval between Ti and Do
is a minor second (m2) or half step. 

Thus, the interval between La and Ti is a major second, and the interval between Ti and Do is a minor second. 

“Thank you for doing this, Will. One pilgrim alone is a merely zealot. But two pilgrims together, that’s a pilgrimage.”
– Leslie Higgins to Will, the kit boy,
on Ted Lasso, season 3, episode 6

“An archetype is any recurrent pattern recognized by the pattern-seeking right hemisphere of the brain. Archetypes exist in our minds and in the physical reality that surrounds us. Archetypes are the interface that allows us to interpret, understand, and catalogue what we are experiencing. Archetypes are the basis for all similes and metaphors. Carl Jung understood this. And so did Richard Feynman, winner of the Nobel Prize, who said, ‘Nature uses only the longest threads to weave her patterns, so that each small piece of her fabric reveals the organization of the entire tapestry.’ He was speaking, of course, of DNA, the organizing pattern of every type of life on our planet.”

Random Quote:

“When I was a young man, I managed a Ramada Inn in Iowa. My boss, Rueben, lived in Denver and was an excellent mentor. One day, after I missed getting our cash to the bank two days in a row, I got a call from Rueben saying, ‘Don, the most important task you have is to get the money to the bank each day.’ I said, ‘Yes, sir.’

Nearly 50 years later, most banking is now done electronically. However, I still drive down the block from our publishing company to our wonderful local bank, City National, and make the daily deposit.

It may be a foolish behavior in many people’s eyes, but for me there is a broader lesson in play. I see the bank as the finish line for each day’s corporate efforts. It’s tangible proof that our staff has performed admirably. Too often, we don’t take every opportunity to celebrate success. There is nothing as tangible as a bank deposit to show we are on the right track.

By the way, the fact that City National Bank has chocolate chip cookies in the lobby has nothing to do with my daily visits.”
