In the chorus, J-Hope shouts that he “ wants some more.” In an April 2018 log, he’d confessed that he realized a person’s greed has no limit. For this reason, it’s poetic that “MORE” was released exactly seven years after he’d tweeted, “I’ll study hard in order to share good music with you!!!!!!!!” “11th year of self-study / The underlines by my highlighter are merely the aesthetic veneer of my studies / Endless learning / My art results from crashing and falling.” In a log recorded in October 2014 while preparing his mixtape, he’d shared that the only answer for success is to work hard.

The second verse uses art to convey the long history of his ambition. The first verse takes water imagery from Hope World, but in comparison to “Daydream” where he stated that “everyone’s experienced being caught like a fish / in a net called desire resulting from life’s thirsts” and accepted the fleeting nature of such dreams, there’s a freedom and forward movement to the same passion here: “ Yeah I’m thirsty / I need it, to go surfin’ on the beat / I’m a fish that’s met water / Soak up the music … Keep my passion, I gotta go.” You’ll get the Monitor Weekly magazine, the Monitor Daily email, and unlimited access to content can also be viewed on the site it originates from. If you’re looking for bran muffin journalism, you can subscribe to the Monitor for $15. We’re about kicking down the door of thought everywhere and saying, “You are bigger and more capable than you realize. We have a mission beyond circulation, we want to bridge divides. We’re known as being fair even as the world becomes as polarized as at any time since the newspaper’s founding in 1908. We’re run by a church, but we’re not only for church members and we’re not about converting people. The Monitor is a peculiar little publication that’s hard for the world to figure out. And I’m going to argue that we change lives precisely because we force open that too-small box that most human beings think they live in. We’re the bran muffin of journalism.īut you know what? We change lives. We’re seen as being global, fair, insightful, and perhaps a bit too earnest. If you were to come up with a punchline to a joke about the Monitor, that would probably be it. Sometimes, we call things ‘boring’ simply because they lie outside the box we are currently in.” My work in Kenya, for example, was heavily influenced by a Christian Science Monitor article I had forced myself to read 10 years earlier. “Many things that end up” being meaningful, writes social scientist Joseph Grenny, “have come from conference workshops, articles, or online videos that began as a chore and ended with an insight. Breakfast and late-night menu additions also will likely be in the wave.Ībout a year ago, I happened upon this statement about the Monitor in the Harvard Business Review – under the charming heading of “do things that don’t interest you”:

The chain also has tested a Double Jack burger this year. One of those new menu items could be the Crispy Onion Buttery Jack burger that GrubGrade recently noted is in test. This year, Jack bought local ad time during the Super Bowl and it is expected to do the same during Super Bowl 50 on Feb. Jack added a permanent “better burgers” line-the Buttery Jack burgers-at the beginning of 2015, and included several more upscaled LTOs such as the Jack’s Blazin’ Chicken, Black Pepper Cheeseburger and Jalapeňo Breakfast Burrito.īut you ain’t seen nothing yet, Chairman-CEO Len Comma told analysts today that in its Q2 (beginning at the end of January), Jack in the Box will launch a wave of improved core-menu items equal in scope to all the menu improvements done piecemeal through the first half of 2015. If you compete with Jack in the Box, circle the end of January 2016 on the calendar because the chain says it will be coming big and strong with new and improved menu items.
