During the championship football games on Sunday, there were several commercials that the networks played over and over again.
Some of them, I could have done without, like where “the guv-a-nah” Arnold stretched out before a ping pong game.
There was one great ad, however.
The one that caught my eye was a really well done commercial by Apple.
You can watch it at the Apple website here:

Did it inspire you?
I did a bit o’ research, and found that the spoken words are from Robin Williams in the Dead Poets Society movie from the late 1980s.
He is reading and interpreting a poem from Walt Whitman. Using it to inspire his classroom of male students.
The powerful portion of the prose was this, referring to life as a glorious play:
“That the powerful play goes on, and you may contribute a verse.”
– from “O Me! O Life” by Walt Whitman
Interesting thought, isn’t it?
That life is a play, and we can contribute a verse to it.
I did a recent interview with a gent named Josh Rodriguez for the February edition of Frac Sand Fortunes.

Josh has certainly contributed a verse.
He created a business, Major Industries, out of thin air using his hard work and determination.
Started at his kitchen table with a cup of coffee and a cell phone. Fully charged battery.
Now he has a business with exclusive rights to distribute frac sand from a mine in Wisconsin. He is actively growing it into a force to be reckoned with.
And he told me exactly how he did it.
This interview with Josh is raw, hardcore “step by step” frac sand biz info, and it’s one of the most informative interviews that I’ve ever taken part in.
I’m still writing my verse for the play of life.
How about you?
What will your verse be?
