9 Reasons Why Failure Is Not Fatal
Written by the99percent Illustration: Oscar Ramos Orozco Failure. Fear of it is universal, experiencing it is inevitable, and running from it is dependably routine. As a culture we can’t seem to shake the negativity of the term – even though most success stories have a shared foundation in some kind of accidental realization, wrong-footed first attempt, or outright error. Here, we pool our favorite videos and articles on the subject as a gentle reminder that our only real failure is to live life without it.1. 2. You once described the inventor’s life as “one of failure.” Not all failures lead to solutions, though. 3. 4. The business literature nowadays talks a lot about the need for failure in the pursuit of excellence. 5. 6. Abject failure This is the really dark one. Structural failure It cuts — deeply — but it doesn’t permanently cripple your identity or enterprise. Glorious failure Going out in a botched but beautiful blaze of glory — catastrophic but exhilarating. 7. 8. 9.
Improv Everywhere
Improv Everywhere (often abbreviated IE) is a comedic performance art group based in New York City, formed in 2001 by Charlie Todd. Its slogan is "We Cause Scenes". The group carries out pranks, which they call "missions", in public places. The stated goal of these missions is to cause scenes of "chaos and joy." Some of the group's missions use hundreds or even thousands of performers and are similar to flash mobs, while other missions utilize only a handful of performers. Improv Everywhere has stated that they do not identify their work with the term flash mob, in part because the group was created two years prior to the flash mob trend.[1] While Improv Everywhere was created years before YouTube, the group has grown in notoriety since joining the site in April of 2006.

Operation Mindfuck
Operation Mindfuck or OM is an important practice in the Discordian religion. The concept was developed by Kerry Thornley and Robert Anton Wilson in 1968[1] and given its name by Wilson and Robert Shea in The Illuminatus! Trilogy.[2] It is most often manifested as a decentralized campaign of civil disobedience, activism, art movements, especially performance art and guerrilla art, culture jamming, graffiti and other vandalism, practical jokes, hoaxes, reality hacking, chaos magic, words of power, trolling and anything else that is believed to bring about social change through disrupting paradigms and thus forcing the victim to question the parameters of one's reality tunnel. Purposes[edit] There is a disagreement among Discordians as to whether or not, through OM, they should seek to improve society, topple it or claim that the practice is in fact only for entertainment. In The Illuminatus! Projects[edit] Current progress in Operation Mindfuck includes: See also[edit] References[edit]
Paris | How not to be a tourist
Paris is a 2.2 million inhabitant city that welcomes 28 million tourists each year; it is then tough not to be a tourist! Just quickly forget Charles De Gaulle airport to dive fast into a city that looks like a live museum, a busy noisy crowded diverse jungle, a unique experience of lights and shadows. Compared to other capital cities Paris is not too vast; taxis are expensive and somehow difficult to grab, so go for public transport or just walk or bike while staying away from crazy drivers who don’t give way. Left Bank, Right Bank: both sides of the Seine River are worth the trip. Go Right for iconic-boring places (Arc de Triomphe, Montmartre) or hidden gems (streets and fashion at Le Marais, Belleville Chinatown, Marché d’Aligre). Go Left for the overcrowded Eiffel Tower, but don’t miss the Quartier Latin, the fashion shops of Saint-Germain des Prés or a café at Montparnasse.
Cacophony Society
According to self-designated members of the Society, “you may already be a member.” The anarchic nature of the Society means that membership is left open-ended and anyone may sponsor an event, though not every idea pitched garners attendance by members. Cacophony events often involve costumes and pranks in public places and sometimes going into places that are generally off limits to the public. Cacophonists have been known to regale Christmas shoppers with improved Christmas carols while dressed as Santa Claus, and later invite strippers to sit on Santa's lap (SantaCon). San Francisco chapter[edit] In 2013 a digitized collection of The San Francisco Cacophony Society's Rough Draft newsletters was uploaded to Internet Archive.[3] Los Angeles chapter[edit] The Los Angeles branch of the society listed events in their monthly newsletter, "Tales from the Zone." In 2008, The Los Angeles Cacophony Society was revived by San Francisco Cacophonist Heathervescent and Rev. Portland chapter[edit]

Luther Blissett
Origem: Wikipédia, a enciclopédia livre. Retrato oficial. Luther Blissett é um pseudônimo multi-usuário, uma identidade em aberto, adotada e compartilhada por centenas de hackers, activistas e operadores culturais em vários países, desde o verão (no hemisfério norte) de 1994.[1] Na Itália, no período 1994-1999, o chamado Luther Blissett Project (mais organizado no seio da comunidade aberta que utiliza o pseudônimo), adquire notoriedade tornando-se uma lenda, uma espécie de herói popular, um Robin Hood da era da informação que organiza zombarias, passa notícias falsas à mídia, coordena heterodoxas campanhas de solidariedade a vítimas da repressão. Origem do nome[editar | editar código-fonte] O nome Luther Blissett[2] foi inspirado em um atacante futebolista inglês, de origem jamaicana, que jogou no pequeno clube de Watford durante a década de 1970 até os anos 1990. Notícias falsas[editar | editar código-fonte] Em 1995, o programa de TV "Quem o viu?" "Esta revolução não tem rosto" (Wu-Ming).
5 great ways to end a speech
The moment of truth has arrived. You had them at the open. The audience was clearly focused, nodding as you delivered your message. Eyes locked as you wove through a carefully crafted medley of stories, anecdotes and analogies, all supporting your message. The time has come to conclude, at which point you exclaim: “In conclusion, I appreciate your time. And then nothing happens. Everyone quietly claps, or just nods, and leaves the auditorium or conference room. What can you do to prevent such a muted response? 1. ”In order to guarantee that we save ______ tomorrow, we need to _____ today. 2. “So, coach entered the locker room after a pretty tough game in which a number of us had standout performances, and the result was … a big loss. 3. “What choice will you make when you leave here today? 4. “We can have____, or we can have ______. 5.
