I have had two epiphanies about myself lately. The first is that I love to plan things, I love the idea and the effort that can be put into working in a good cause. When I say this I don't mean from an low man on the totem pole perspective, I mean behind the scenes but main organizer perspectives. I believe this will help me in my ambitions to become a philanthropist.
Number two is that I enjoy a challenge but I don't mind if it doesn't turn out exactly as planned. For example, I emailed Fred Adams and Stephen Greenblatt for my Shakespeare class. I have only heard back from Fred and that turned out really well. Don't care that it did not work out with Greenblatt because I didn't really lose anything in the effort except for the two minutes it took to send him an e-mail.
Where this is coming from is from the fact that I am currently working on enlisting a group of actors to do a dramatic reading of a Shakespeare play that I can digitally record and play for my class. I will be asking them to do this pro bono so we have to wait and see if anyone is willing. Well while looking up names I came across three that I would love to enlist however ones who I will probably not be able to contact, however, this will not stop me from trying!
The three names are: Paul Bettany, Kenneth Brannaugh and Colin Firth. Don't worry I am not delusional but you've got to try right?
