The last lecture

"If you're going to die and have only one last lecture to give, what would you say to your students?"  In fact it's a hypothetical question asked, but Dr. Randy Pausch knows he hasn't a long time to live any more. However, he doesn't sink himself in self-agony. So much truths in one youtube-film. Watch, listen and learn!

"I am dying soon, but I am choosing to have fun, today, tomorrow and everyday I have left!"

The Butterfly Circus

Of course, sometimes we're almost like circus artists, but that's not why I posted this film. I know it has nothing to do with our work, but nevertheless I wanted to share it with you because it has everything to do with life in general and it's simply beautiful.

Although I didn't do it always like that, I start to believe that you are the only key to success. Life is what you make of it. This very inspirational film is all about that. You can only be a happy and successful crazy waiter when you believe in yourself and live life in a positive way!

During his travels a showman of a circus discovers a man without limbs at a carnival sideshow. This man is travelling along with the circus and becomes driven to hope against everything he has ever believed.

The Butterfly Circus - HD from The Butterfly Circus on Vimeo.

You can also buy the DVD at Amazon.com!

Rapping Flight Attendant from Southwest Airlines

Not from the restaurant business but some inspiration from an airline. Apparently at Southwest Airlines they're doing things a little bit differently than the others. Look at enjoy!

Imagine presenting the daily specials like this with your clients as human beatbox. Wouldn't it be cool???

The secret pleasure of Four Seasons

Every waiter knows the secret pleasure of a waiter: hearing something that is not meant for you and taking action on it. Once on a hot day I heard a guest on 3 meters distant saying to a friend "Oh, I would die for a glass of water'". Several seconds later I stood there with it. The water had cost € 1,50 but her face expression was priceless! (and of course you pretend not to see that reaction;))

Four Seasons, a hotel chain with luxury hotels (in Paris they have the fabulous George V) is also listening to her guests even while they're not really talking to them. On TwitterA guy complained that the music in his room was very dull. I'm sure his face would be priceless when he came back to his room where the housekeeping left a bottle of wine and a kind letter with a list of all the radiostations attached.

Keep the secret pleasure alive! (and enjoy it....)

Handpuppets… without puppets

Hans Teeuwen is a Dutch humorist. Although not my kind of humour, this video (in Dutch, sorry) is funny. And there is some cursing in it, so be warned!

In this video you can see how you can play with no (or little) attributes. I did it once (but I didn't scream and certainly didn't name world's oldest profession!) and everything was laughing.

The human voice – Jean Cocteau (Ingrid Bergman)

Ingrid Bergman gives a virtuoso solo performance in this Jean Cocteau one-act called The Human Voice. The plot of this hour-long piece is a simple one: a woman, devastated after her lover leaves her for someone else, speaks to him on the phone one last time. (in the theatre and I suppose also here in this fragment, there's nobody on the phone of course)

You can talk on an imaginary phone (use your POS card!) with an imaginary person. Also when a kid plays with something (that looks) like a telephone, you can play this improvisation. A month ago, I talked with a Romanian kid. She understood nothing (I talked Italian) and I understood nothing! But we both (and everybody around us) had fun!
