The year – 1883.
Under construction – The Statue of Liberty –with detailed supervision by designer Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi.
As metal workers banged out sheets of Lady Liberty, the curve on TOP of her crown received the same detail – as her feet.
This is significant as commercial flight – was decades away.
Bartholdi wanted every inch to be spectacular – even if no eyes would see much of the top.
Spectacular happened when Top 40 radio was – a baby.
The Real Don Steele was one of the original Boss Jocks on the legendary KHJ-AM/Los Angeles.
He could be spectacular in 8 seconds – and treated every break as an audition for the next show.
Self-help – from Tom Peters.
Being Spectacular requires minute-by-minute excellence.
Sculpting – entertainment – personal improvement.
Everyone has the same 168 hours a week.
The same 1448 minutes in a day.
The same 3,900 heart beats in an hour.
During our time, why endorse mediocre now – or ever?
