Can’t count the number of open mic nights at comedy clubs around Vancouver where he’ll just pop up and do a routine, and he’s always really encouraging of the other comics.

It’s funny how looking back at Robin Williams movies, you see some pretty good ideas for ‘living’.

That was a great list, very inspiring. The pic (you can click on it to go to the source) is from an article by a lawyer discussing why so many Harvard Law School graduates end up doing things other than law.

Best advice I ever heard was in the movie Dead Again, of all places. Robin Williams’ character is discussing smoking with Kenneth Branagh’s, and he says “either you’re a smoker or you’re a non-smoker. Find out what you are and be that.”

It was the best choice I have ever made for my life. Life is short. We all owe it to ourselves to live to the fullest. I like the picture. =)

I know so many people who did what they thought was brave and ended up in places that weren’t right for them. Think of Edith’s blog as a sushi smorgasbord (how’s that for multiculturalism?) and take what appeals to you.
