Director Garry Marshall is responsible for some of the most legendary TV shows and movies ever made, like “Happy Days,” the TV version of “The Odd Couple,” and ”Pretty Woman.”

But in his later years, the 81-year-old has been making a series of movies focused on holidays, like “Valentine’s Day” and “New Year’s Eve,” that outside of all-star casts have done precious little for critics or audiences.

In that same vein, we thought we'd go over what you should actually keep in your wallet on a day-to-day basis.

And, in the spirit of minimalism, it's honestly not a whole lot.

You probably only need:

There was a time when Sue Decker was a star executive and shoo-in candidate for the CEO job at Yahoo.

But a number of decisions, including her role in rejecting Microsoft's buyout offer, derailed her reputation. Eventually, she left the company after Yahoo chose Carol Bartz over her as CEO in 2009.

People who stand out for positive reasons aren't just memorable, though — they're also people we want to work with and do business with.

And that's why genuinely polite people stand out. (Not fake polite — sincere polite.)... Читать дальше...

If there’s one thing people love, it’s cats. Images of cats. Cute cat gifs. Adorable cat videos.
