The Improv of Bill Murray

I came across another Bill Murray article late last night, similar in tone to the last one. It should come as no surprise that everyone who comes across Bill holds him in high regard; he is always well respected and leaves fans in awe.
In this article, Steven Burneson talks about Murray's best quality: Improv. He details how he displays this skill in not only both funny and serious roles but in his real life actions. We all know about Bill's "no one will believe you" stories and Steven reflects on some of these; one in which Bill jokingly threw a Coke bottle into a crowd which struck a fan during a celebrity golf tournament in 2007!
After reflecting on Bill Murray's improv throughout his life, Burneson comes up with 3 life lessons:
1. Versatility is empowering
2. "Baby steps" can cure just about anything
3. Hardships in life are just gateways to funnier, better times

Sound like some good lessons to live life by. Read the full article here.
