Did You Know? The History of the Middle Finger... Well, now...,.. here's something I never knew before, and now that I have come to know it, I feel compelled to share with my more intelligent friends in the hope that they too, will feel enlightened Isn't history more fun when you know something about it?
Before the Battle of Agincourt in 1415, the French, anticipating victory over the English, proposed to cut off the middle finger of all captured English soldiers. Without the middle finger it would be impossible to draw the renowned English longbow and therefore they would be incapable of fighting in the future. This famous English longbow was made of the native English Yew tree, and the act of drawing the longbow was known as 'plucking the yew' (or 'pluck yew'), Much to the bewilderment of the French, the English won a major upset and began mocking the French by waving their middle fingers at the defeated French, saying, See, we can still pluck yew!
Over the decades Americans have since changed up the words , the 'pluck yew' is now "f**K you" and the words often used in conjunction with the one-finger-salute! It is also because of the pheasant feathers on the arrows used with the longbow that the symbolic gesture is known as 'giving the bird.' And yew thought yew knew every plucking thing.

Years ago I learned something from Brené Brown that I still use every single day:
When you get home to your spouse/kids/dog etc..
Before you open the door
Put a smile on your face!
It doesn't matter how your day went. Or what you're doing next. Or if you're starving.
For 30 seconds, at least pretend that you're elated to see them.
Make them feel like you were looking forward to getting back home.
After all, they're your favorite people in the whole world. I hope.
Now, I know what you're thinking: "That seems like a cheesy, tiny thing, man. Hardly an earth-shattering revelation."
But your sets the tone for the rest of the evening within 15 seconds of walking in the door.
So really, it's not tiny at all. It's a huge deal.
Because you come home every day. And the things you do every day grind on you.
Jordan Peterson says if you can fix 25 little things like "coming home," you will have an extraordinary life.
Taking your family to Disneyland is insignificant.
Your kid's expensive birthday party will be forgotten within weeks.
Coming home?
That's your whole life. Fix it.
Start today.
