Follow the Thinkers ~ Inspiration and Motivation for Every Day

Thank goodness for my Facebook memories. They are wonderful reminders of things I shared that I don't mind re-sharing again and again and again. This poster was shared via my profile timeline in 2014. Unfortunately, the link is broken. Unfortunate? NO! Fantastic! It gives me an excuse to create a new blog post and share the poster again!

The MLK quote below is not on the poster. But I think it is something all of these thinkers would agree paves the way for everything and anything else that inspires us and moves us forward.

“It is not enough to say we must not wage war.
It is necessary to love peace and sacrifice for it.”

Looking for a Successful Male? He's in the Details.

Had an opportunity to peruse the Special 15^th Anniversary Edition of a magazine called “Details”. There was a detailed article in the magazine paying tribute to successful males "whose influence has shaped every facet of our culture and defined the young millennium" (direct quote from the Table of Contents).

His name? Bradley Cooper.

◆ ◆ ◆ ◆ ◆ ◆

Bradley Cooper made the cover of the October 2015 anniversary issue as one of The Most Influential Cultural Figures of the New Millenium.

Mr. Cooper along with several other 21^st century men deemed groundbreaking icons are profiled on pages 103 - 133.

Totally OK with all the leading men showcased in the portfolio with one exception.

Number 15: Edward Snowden.

Mr. Snowden is the whistle-blower who is being given credit for exposing the U.S. government's surveillance abuses, in the name of national security, truth, justice, and the American way ... blah blah yadda yadda.

Per the article writer, Bret Begun: "How history will judge him is anybody's guess."

No guess for me. Wrote out my judgment as to his actions, January 27, 2014, and posted it on Google Plus. Click here. He left the USA. He is one leading man I will not be following.
