A friend asked me the other day..
‘Mark why don’t you take any nice pictures anymore…🤣’
When taking this picture today in this rather lovely pond…I suddenly realized I had forgotten how to pose 😄
A few years ago I could pull out a pout on cue and pretend I was Cara Delevingne😅 ..but nowadays I just love making videos and entertaining you guys (hopefully)
I have always hated the word ‘influencer’ because taking 100’s of pictures & selfies and then posting them on my page doesn’t really make a difference or have an impact on anyone in my opinion!
That’s why I have always preferred the word Content Creator or Entertainer!
Because all I’ve ever wanted to do is to put a smile on people’s faces and to entertain! (Hopefully 🙏)
I would rather spend 5 hours editing a video than spend 5 hours editing the sky & removing dark circles under my eyes..which you guys can clearly see by now that I have a lot of 🤣🤣
People will quote that ‘a picture can say a thousand words…’
Unfortunately I need at least 30 seconds to do that 🤣🤣🤣
Hope you all had a great week and keep doing what you love to do 🥰

The origins of ‘fool’
Wednesday is April 1, when people in many countries worldwide celebrate the custom ( ) of “April Fool’s Day.” On this day, they play pranks ( ) on each other, the pranksters gleefully ( ) calling those hapless ( ) enough to fall for ( ) the joke an “April Fool.”
Nobody really knows for certain ( ) when, where or why the custom started. We have more certainty over the origins of the word “fool” itself, although some details remain unclear.
The word, which refers to ( ) a silly, stupid, or ignorant ( ) person, is thought to originate ( ) in the early 13th century, deriving ( ) from Old French fol, meaning a madman or insane person. The French word, in turn, comes from the Latin follis, meaning a leather bag or a bellows ( ) and, by extension later on, an empty-headed ( ) person.
Fool also referred to a rogue ( ) or a sinful ( ), wicked ( ) or lecherous ( ) person — around 1300, a “fool woman” meant a prostitute ( ), for example — and also a court ( ) jester ( ), a person whose purpose was to entertain ( ) the king and court, whether because they were pretending to be buffoonish ( ) or whether they actually were like that.
One theory is that the idea of the court jester “fool” derives from folles — the plural form of follis (bellows) — referring to the puffed cheeks of a buffoon.
It is unclear which sense came first, that of the idiot or the jester.
「愚人」的起源
下週三是四月一日,許多國家的人在這天都有過「愚人節」的慣例,互相捉弄,惡作劇的人樂不可支地把那些不幸被騙倒的人稱作「April Fool」(四月的愚人)。
沒有人能確知愚人節這習俗到底是在何時、何地或為何開始的,但我們對「fool」(傻瓜)一字的由來比較能夠掌握多,儘管有些細節仍不甚明瞭。
「fool」這個字,現今指的是傻氣、愚笨或無知的人,通常被認為是源自十三世紀初期的古法語字「fol」,意指瘋子或精神失常的人。而這個字又是源於拉丁文「follis」,意為皮製的袋子或風箱,後來引伸為腦袋空空的人。
「fool」亦指惡棍或有罪、惡毒或淫蕩的人──例如在西元一三○○年左右,「fool woman」指的是妓女,亦指弄臣,也就是在宮廷中負責娛樂國王和朝臣的人,無論這些弄臣是故意裝瘋賣傻,還是本來就如小丑般滑稽。
有一說則是認為,「fool」字的「弄臣」之意,是源於「folles」──即「follis」(風箱的拉丁文複數形)──指的是小丑鼓脹的臉頰。
「fool」一字是先有「傻子」之意,還是先有「弄臣」之意,我們並不清楚。

【お金を使う時に持っておいた方がいい判断基準】
3日ほど前、映画『えんとつ町のプペル』のムービーチケットを応募者全員にプレゼントするキャンペーンをスタートさせて、すでに4万名を超える応募があったんです。
これを受けて、「電通すごい」とか「東宝ヤバイ」とか「吉本本気」といった声がチョイチョイあるのですが、西野の名誉の為に言わせていただくと、これ、別に、電通さんや東宝さんや吉本興業といった大きな会社が推し進めている企画ではなくて、【西野亮廣】が個人でやっているんです。
忘れられないように、もう一度言いますが、これは「西野の自腹」なんです。
その自腹が、現時点で「チケット代×40000人」です。
適当に計算してみてください。
ちなみに今日もまだ募集しているので(ヤケクソ!)、ここから、まだ増えると思うのですが、個人で払うには結構な額だと思います。
応募はコチラまで→https://poupelle.com/
今日は、この買い物が「高い」か「安い」かを考えたいと思います。
僕はこんな仕事をしているので、必ず予算の問題がつきまとうんですね。
個展をする時なんかは、基本、当初の予算を二周りぐらい上回るので、よく会社が死にかけているんですけど、そんな活動をずっとしていると見えてくるお金のルールがあります。
それは……
「お金は上手に使うと、動かせる額が大きくなる」
ということです。
なので、プロジェクトを受け持っている後輩(つまり予算内でプロジェクトを遂行しなけれないけない立場にある人間)には、「お金を貯めるな。積極的に上手く使え」といっています。
ゴールは彼らが取り扱うプロジェクトが大きくなって、彼らが大きな影響力を手にいれて、彼らがたくさんの人を楽しませて、たくさんの人を助けることなので動かせる予算は大きい方がいい。
そんなことを踏まえて、今回の炎の自腹企画「映画『えんとつ町のプペル』のムービーチケットを応募者全員にプレゼントするキャンペーン」が高かったか安かったか……というところなんですけども、「ちょっと分からない」です。
ぶっちゃけ、まだ分からない(笑)
高い買い物になるかもしれないし、安い買い物になるかもしれないし、「どっちにでも転ぶなぁ」といったところです。
一つ確かなことは、「どっちかには転ぶ」というところですね。
これが凄い大事だと思っていて、「どっちにも転ばない買い物」ってあるじゃないですか?
現代において、これが一番無駄遣いだと思っています。
ここにきて、ようやくクラウドファンディングが一般化しました。
#毎度おせーよ
要するに、「心意気」みたいなものが買われやすくなった。
世の中の為にとか、皆を楽しませる為に、「バーン!」とお金を出して、「死んだ〜!」とチャーミングに言えたら、「もう、しょうがねぇな」みたいな感じで助け舟を出してくれる人が出てくる。
出てきやすくなった。
もちろんチャーミングでコーティングするというのが大前提ですが、派手に転ぶと、ここの関係が買えるので、その買い物はそこまで高くない。
一方で、どっちにも転ばない選択って、安全策のようで、まわりが助け舟を出す機会を切り落としているので、ちょっと高い。
ここから少し本質的な話になるんですが、基本的に「教育」というのはコケないようにアテンドしていくじゃないですか。
「自立できる人間が正解」みたいなノリで。
実は、それって今の時代、結構なリスクだなぁと思っていて、今、どう考えたって、一人で戦う人間よりも、まわりが助けたくなる人間の方が強い。
予算も集まるし、知識も知恵も集まる。
「教育」というものに、オンライン互助の仕組みが組み込まれていないのは、結構、致命的だと思っています。
仕事柄いろんな人と会いますが、一人で生きている人の知識量って絶望的です。
自分の脳ミソに情報を入れてくれる人が自分一人しかいないのは、かなり分が悪い。
知識だけじゃなくて、お金の問題もそうなのですが、やっぱ「助け舟を出したくなるヤツ」が、今、圧倒的に強い。
話を戻します。そして、一言でまとめます。
お金を使う時の判断基準として、「高い」「安い」以外に、「この使い方は、助け舟を出したくなるのか否か」という基準を持っておいた方がいいと思います。

[the judgement standards that you should have when you use money]
About 3 days ago, I started a campaign to present the movie ticket of the movie ′′ a in town ′′ to all the applicants, and there was already over 4 million applications.
With This, there is a voice that says ′′ Dentsu amazing ′′ and ′′ Toho crazy ′′ and ′′ Yoshimoto serious," but if you let me say it for the honor of nishino, it's not dentsu-San and toho-San It's not a plan that a big company such as yoshimoto kogyo is pushing, but ′′ Ryo Nishino ′′ is doing it personally.
I'll say it again so I can't forget, but this is ′′ Nishino's streamline
The Streamline is ′′ ticket teenager x 40000 people ′′ at the moment.
Try to calculate it properly.
By the way, I'm still hiring today, so (desperation! ), I think it's still going to increase from here, but I think it's a pretty good amount to pay personally.

Today, I would like to think about whether this shopping is ′′ expensive ′′ or ′′ cheap
I'm working like this, so I'm sure to have a budget problem.
When you do a solo exhibition, the basics, the first budget is about two around the corner, so the company is often dying, but there is a rule of money that you see that you are going to be able to do such an activity.
It's......
′′ when you use money well, the amount you can move will be bigger ′′
That's what it means.
So, for juniors who have a project (that is, people who are in position to have to perform a project in the budget)," don't save money. I'm going to use it positively
The goal is that the project they handle is bigger, and they have a big influence, and they make fun of a lot of people, and help a lot of people, so the budget that can move is better.
Based on such a thing, this time's flame streamline project ′′ the campaign to present the movie ticket of the movie ′′ a town ′′ to all the applicants ′′ was expensive or cheap...... but," I don't know a bit
I still don't know what to do lol
It might be a high shopping, and it might be a cheap shopping, and it's about to fall in both of them,"
One thing for sure is," it's going to fall in either way,"
I think this is really important, isn't it ′′ shopping that doesn't fall in either,"
In Modern times, I think this is the most waste.
Here we come, crowdfunding has finally become general.
#毎度おせーよ
In other words, something like ′′ Spirit ′′ has become easier to buy.
For the world, to entertain everyone, I put money out with ′′ barn!" and ′′ dead!" and I'm charming," I feel like I'm going to have a good time," I'm not going to be able to do it anymore," The one who will give me a favor is coming out.
It's easier to come out.
Of course it's a charming coating, but when you fall fancy, you can buy the relationship here, so the shopping is not expensive.
Meanwhile, the choice that doesn't fall in either is like a safety plan, and it's a bit expensive because it's cutting off the opportunity to put out the help around.
It's going to be a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of
With Nori like ′′ Independent people are correct
Actually, it's a lot of risk in the current era, and now I think about it, and the people who want to help around me are stronger than the people who fight alone.
Budgets come together, knowledge and wisdom gather.
′′ Education ′′ is pretty deadly that the workings of online mutual assistance are not built in.
I meet all kinds of people at work, but the knowledge of people living alone is hopeless.
It's pretty bad that there's only one person who can put information in my brain.
It's not just knowledge, it's also a problem of money, but the ′′ one who makes you want to put out a favor ′′ is now overwhelmingly strong.
I'll bring back the story. And I'll put it together in one word.
As a standard of judgement when using money, besides ′′ high ′′ and ′′ cheap "" I think it's better to have the standard of ′′ how to use this to make a favor,"
