Election Eve Anthem – “One Day More” from Les Miserables
Is there anyone who is NOT counting the hours until Election 2012 becomes history? The electorate is nearly as weary of the campaign as the candidates who have been working at a feverish pace for weeks. There will be no political opinion from this quarter today, but I wanted to mark this potentially momentous event by sharing the lyrics of the song “One Day More” that ends the first act of Les Miserables as well as the finale.
The song itself bounces between the rebel students, the lovers Marius and Cosette, and the main character Jean Val Jean. I’ve selected the main elements of the song for the sake of clarity. Whether you vote Blue or Red, or somewhere in between, these words weigh heavy on the Election Eve.

Are the Limitations on Your Achievement Self-Imposed?
The whole idea of limitations is something a human came up with as an excuse. The first time a human realized he could do more than he thought was a new burst of speed in response to the hungry saber tooth tiger chasing him. That was the first time the concept of “motivation” entered the equation. What crutch keeps us from achieving? Are we limiting ourselves?
