Do you have four minutes and thirteen seconds? Sure you do...
I sat down to write a serious, sober article on some aspect of leadership and then came across a video that I couldn't resist sending you instead. You'll find the link at the end of this short introduction.
Sometimes, we need a break. Sometimes, we need to give our brains some rest. Sometimes, no matter the stresses we're under, we need to stop and smile.
Next week NBC is airing a new "The Sound of Music" starring Carrie Underwood. I have no idea if it's going to be any good (I mean, how do you top Julie Andrews?), but a promotion for the show led me to this video.
Take four minutes and thirteen seconds...park your cares aside...and watch this video.
Just four minutes and thirteen seconds. And then you can go back to all that important stuff you were doing. Witness the fact that human beings, for all of our failings and inconsistencies and imperfections, can still create something beautiful.
Four minutes and thirteen seconds...I dare you not to smile.
And oh! Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
