Success is not a straight road. It’s filled with detours, roadblocks, and sometimes complete standstills. But here’s the secret: progress isn’t about perfection; it’s about persistence.

Today, November 11, marks the celebration of Saint Martin of Tours' feast day, honoring his extraordinary commitment to compassion and service. His inspirational quote, 'Lord, if your people still need me, I will not refuse the work. Your will be done,' reflects his unwavering dedication. Saint Martin's legacy is characterized by humility and charitable acts, including sharing his cloak with those in need.

The path to success isn’t always a straight line.

Embrace the twists, learn from the detours, and remember that every setback is setting you up for a comeback.

the late 1950s he went on U.S. government-sponsored tours around the world with a band organized by bebop jazz pioneer Dizzy Gillespie. Jones then led his own band through Europe.

Guard your presence because even gold will lose value if seen everywhere, just like ordinary stones. As I have said before, Michael Jackson's albums were phenomenally successful because he mastered the art of using absence to build anticipation. He would stay out of the public eye for years. No interviews, no tours, no sightings. Then, when the anticipation has reached fever pitch, boom, he reappears with a slightly altered appearance and a new album, and unleashes Michael-mania. When you notice that people start taking you for granted and disrespecting you, it is likely because you have made yourself too present for them. Napoleon Bonaparte said, "If I am often seen at the theatre, people will cease to notice me". Use absence more than you use presence. Long time no see is better than 'Oh, it's you again'. Be conscious of where you go. People treat friends and family like they treat money. The more they see money, the less they value it. The less they see moolah, the more they value it!

A man's work is nothing but this slow trek to rediscover, through the detours of art, those two or three great and simple images in whose presence his heart first opened.

Did you know? Clark gave his Oscar for It Happened One Night (1934) to a child who admired it, telling him it was the winning of the statue that had mattered, not owning it. The child returned the Oscar to the Gable family after Clark's death.
He was already good friends with Hattie McDaniel prior to their making Gone with the Wind (1939) together, and wanted her to play the part of "Mammy", but it was her coming fully dressed and nailing the part that got her the coveted role. When it came time for the premiere on December 15, 1939, producer David O. Selznick attempted to bring along McDaniel. MGM advised him not to because of Georgia's strict segregation laws, which would have prevented McDaniel from being at the same function, on an equal basis, with whites. Gable was so outraged he told MGM he would not attend the premiere unless she was allowed to attend, also. She eventually convinced him to attend without her.
