Scott and director Kevin Macdonald will compile footage from users all over the world for ‘Life in a Day.’
My Life in Quarters
My first 21 years, I played. Rarely did I look beyond the next day.
My second 21 years, I left life dictate my path.
The next 21 years, I will be in control. I will dictate my path. I will simplify. I will do something great. I will build my legacy.
The following 21 years, I will mentor. I will teach.

Losers who don’t put shopping carts away: thanks for making it easy to remind my son how ugly laziness is & how beautiful integrity is

The great American writer left instructions not to publish his autobiography until 100 years after his death, which is now.
Several new applications have launched this week that are designed to easily reset a Facebook member’s privacy settings, following new changes from the company that make a sizable chunk of profile content public by default when it was once kept under lock and key.
Sometimes all you need to do is say HELLO.
How many people did you pass today without saying Hello to? Like me, probably far too many.
You want the world to be a better place? Start saying Hello more.
You’ll be surprised what it could turn into.
A few weeks ago I was standing in line to buy a sub - standing behind I guy I recognized from my gym. I said nothing. Didn’t really feel like having small talk with this dude who was obviously a mindless muscle-head.
But he turns around, smiles, says Hello, offers me a super friendly handshake, introduces himself - and we end up having a wonderful 5 minute conversation.
Turns out my new friend Michael is not anything like what I had envisioned - and it was really me who turned out to be the small-minded loser.
For the rest of the day I couldn’t stop thinking how about Michael and how I let myself fall into the terrible trap of judging. I was, and still am, ashamed of myself for doing that.
I guess we all need little lessons along the way to remind us how easy it is to fall into these negative traps - so for that I am thankful.
Had I just been open to the possibility of things - and willing to let things unfold before me, I would have been the one to offer the Hello. But I wasn’t. I needed to be reminded. And it has stuck with me hard!
And for that, I don’t think I will forever forget the time Michael said Hello to me.
