One quote, one word, one shoutout, one story, one neigh from Philosophical Horse and one question.
Greetings everyone. Happy Monday!
Take a moment to reflect on each snippet. Comment your thoughts below.
Le Quote 🗣
“If you find out you’re on the wrong train, get off at the next station. The longer you stay on the wrong train, the more costly it will be to get home” – Unknown (attribution lost in the wind, regrettably).
Le Word 💬
costly (adjective) causing suffering, loss, or disadvantage.
Le Shoutout 🧣
On the 18th of June, Le Scarf’s logo turned five (5) years old.
From posts to blogs to prints to newsletters, there have been many highs and lows.
That being said, one thing has never happened. There has never been a rogue conversation between two readers in the comment section about a topic unrelated to the post itself.
Until last week, that is.
Last week, both Clare and Meg decided the comment section was the perfect place to chat about soup.
The newsletter asked: “What is your advice?”
Naturally, Clare commented: “Learn to make soup.”
Inspired and in hot pursoup of the perfect soup, Meg replied: “Do you have a go-to soup recipe?”
Clare replied yes, and the rest is history. They exchanged numbers and spoke about soup on WhatsApp without any link to the newsletter.
What a moment to behold.
Shoutout Clare and Meg.
Le Story ✍️
Last week, Francois Viviers spoke to the Red & Yellow students about South Africa, marketing, branding, and doing something impactful with your life.
Midway through his speech, he gave an analogy about moving forward and growing as a business.
“If you drive behind someone on the N2, you can only overtake them if you change lanes,” he said.
After a brief reflection, I realised the analogy applies to life, too. Except, in life, the vehicle you get stuck behind on the highway often turns out to be yourself.
So, if you’re feeling stuck in life, check your blind spot, put on your indicator, and change lanes as smoothly and safely as possible.
Le Neigh from Philosophical Horse 🐴
“Neigh.” – Philosophical Horse.
Le Question 🤔
What would you happily spend five years of your life doing without any immediate financial reward?
Have a great Monday, everyone!
