Have you ever been to Build-a-Bear? You know how the employees give you a little heart pillow to wish on and put inside your bear, right before it’s sewn up?

Graft that process onto your daily run. Put a piece of Nike in your shoe.

We didn’t really get this ad so we read the pressie for clarification. This is what it says.

“The days of running in solitude are obsolete with the newest product to hit the market, Nike+. A device that tracks your runs through distance, time and calories burned, Nike+ is made to fit into the sole of Nike shoes and transmit information to an iPod Nano, the runners of the world can unite.”

Oh. Okay. Anyway, agency Wieden + Kennedy tapped Identity to produce the spot, which features a clusterfuck of athletes from around the world: Kaoru Uno (Japanese K-1 fighter), Ronaldo, Maria Sharapova, Martin Lel, Robert Cheriyot (Kenyan marathoners), Asafa Powell (world.s fastest man), and Dai Tamesue (hurdler).

Greif and Gleason’s 1980 research on how children learn politeness routines found that young children almost never say “please” or “thank you” spontaneously, they say it because a parent prompts them with “what do you say?” dozens of times a week, meaning the reflex adults later display without thinking twice was built through years of someone else’s prompting long before it became automatic.

Many adult children remember watching a father work sixty-hour weeks for decades so the family could have what he never did, then watched him die in his sixties without ever prioritizing his own happiness, and now see that same pattern quietly repeating in their own lives, under a different name.

University of Arizona researchers wired 79 people with a recorder sampling conversations every 12.5 minutes for four days and found the happiest had twice as many substantive conversations and a third as much small talk as the unhappiest, suggesting the discomfort was never a social deficit.
