The Monday Morning Memo



The BeagleSword was portable
and the rabbit hole was a ride.

 

I’ve got a little Quixote in me.  

I’ll bet you do, too.


People said Quixote was crazy. 

Are you a little bit crazy?


They laughed at him. 

Do people laugh at you?

Quixote saw possibilities where
others saw only trouble and sorrow.

Do you see possibilities?


Quixote saw beauty no one else could see. 

Do you find beauty in strange places, too?


Quixote was all action.
He didn’t sit and whine, “If only…”
 

They said he was impulsive and impetuous. 
Has anyone ever said those things about you?


Sancho Panza stayed with Quixote
through thick and thin. He was his friend.

Do you have a Sancho Panza in your life?


If you said yes to any of these questions,
you have some Quixote in you.
 

But if all your answers were no, don’t worry:
It’s never too late to get started.

Random Quote:

“According to [Robert] Leonard, words serve as catalysts, setting off sparks of potential meaning that the listener organizes into more specific meaning by observing facial expressions, body language, and other redundant cues. We then employ another powerful tool: prior experience and the storehouse of narratives that each of us carries – what linguists call ‘schema.’ To every exchange we bring unconscious scripts; as any given sentence unspools, we readjust the schema to make better sense of what we are hearing.”

- Jack Hitt, "Words on Trial", The New Yorker, p. 27, July 23, 2012
