Special Short Videos: Coco Chanel and Surfing Big Waves
It is more fun to talk with someone who doesn’t use long, difficult words but rather short, easy words like, “What about lunch?” A.A. Milne From time to time, Succeed and Soar offers two special and very short videos, chosen to encourage, refresh, enrich creative thinking and inspire. Video #1: Gabrielle Bonheur Chanel was born in a poorhouse hospice. Her mother was a laundrywoman. Her father was an itinerant street vendor. At eleven, she was sent to an orphanage founded to care for “the poor and rejected.” There, she learned to sew. In time, Gabrielle became the world-renowned fashion designer who created the first, self-named perfume, Chanel No. 5. Along the way, Gabrielle changed her name to Coco. Life also taught her some valuable lessons, like: The best things in life are free. The second best are very expensive. If you were born without wings, do nothing to prevent them from growing.

This short video presents those who’ve achieved the skill, self mastery and courage to surf the giant waves. Thrilling. I hope you enjoy. Write me. Let me know what inspired and uplifted you.
