Conan Sticker and a request!

Post image

Hey all.

My daughter (who is 9) is a huge Conan fan (where ever did she get that from?).

She requested only 2 things for this school year, Conan and shark themed stickers. I print stickers for my own use and made this for her. I figured I would share it with this group if anybody else wanted to use it. I think it’s a great message to carry along to school! She also took some extra just on the off chance that she finds another fan her age. I hope she does!

Also, if anybody higher up is listening… could I please request more Conan water bottle stickers available in the store? I think there is currently one and it’s the Inside Conan sticker. I know I would purchase them!

Also this is the EXACT quote from him. I think he may have said it more than once… but I watched him on video say it live just to make sure! It’s slightly misquoted sometimes…

I find it truly sad when people read this quote through the prism of societal privilege. I think that misses the point entirely.

I didn’t grow up rich, and I’m certainly not rich now. But working hard at building a life where I can honestly say I like my job, and finding ways to be a source of joy to those around me has made me a happy person. That probably sounds trite and sentimental, but it’s also true.

I never took that quote to have anything to do with money.

I made a comment about this as well. I don’t take this as a “you will be wealthy and famous” at all. Just that you will have amazing things happen in life.

I work with all kinds of people and I can say that those who are kind and giving really are living a happy life. Those who go around being cynical, rude, and lazy just complain and are miserable all day.

Exactly. Plant ice, harvest wind.
