Commit iPhone app, by Legend.
Very simple concept, and simple execution: setup something you want to improve by doing it daily, and confirm you’ve done it each day. Over time you build a chain of reinforcement.

Bach, “Little” Fugue (G minor, BWV 578)
A visual experience. :) I really like how it helps you “see” the music unfolding.
And if you’re feeling like a challenge, check out Beethoven’s Ludwig van Beethoven’s Große Fuge (Great Fugue), opus 133.

Leonard Bernstein’s Chichester Psalms (1965), 19m.
What a great piece, especially the second movement of Psalm 23/Psalm 2, which starts at 3:43, and is very moving.
This clip comes from a 1978 concert, conducted by the composer in Berlin.

Stop looking for the “right” career, and start looking for a job. Any job. Forget about what you like. Focus on what’s available. Get yourself hired. Show up early. Stay late. Volunteer for the scut work. Become indispensable. You can always quit later, and be no worse off than you are today. But don’t waste another year looking for a career that doesn’t exist. And most of all, stop worrying about your happiness. Happiness does not come from a job. It comes from knowing what you truly value, and behaving in a way that’s consistent with those beliefs.
Many people today resent the suggestion that they’re in charge of the way the feel. But trust me, Parker. Those people are mistaken. That was a big lesson from Dirty Jobs, and I learned it several hundred times before it stuck. What you do, who you’re with, and how you feel about the world around you, is completely up to you. — A Fan Asks Mike Rowe For Life Advice… His Response Is Truly Brilliant. (via hilker)
