Since the olympics are on atm i thought of this. Its Eric from the 2000 Sydney Olympics, the guy who swam 1.52 for 100 metres freestyle(very slow). Some people might say that he shouldn't be in the Olympics. But the spirit and heart he shows is admirable, especially from the country he came from with no swimming pools.

They weren't the actual commentators, the show was a comedy show that was on every night of the olympics

TD Jakes. Lots of his videos on YouTube, well worth a watch.

It's a long video but if you have a few hours where you're not doing much you can have this on in the background/ watch bits at a time

Men get hung up on unimportant questions. Guys are always asking whether something is alpha or beta. Alpha and beta are means to an end. If being a beta gets you what you want out of life, who cares if you’re not alpha?

The question reminded of a wonderful parable:

A Philosophy professor picked up a large empty jar and proceeded to fill it with large rocks. He then asked his students if the jar was full? They unanimously agreed that the jar was full.

Then the professor picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar. He shook the jar lightly. The pebbles rolled into the open areas between the rocks. He asked his students again if the jar was full. Again, they unanimously agreed that the jar was full.

Then the professor picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar. Of course, the sand filled up everything else.

“Now,” the professor said, “I want you to recognize that this is your life. The rocks are the important things: your family, your partner, your friends, your health, your children, and things that if everything else was lost and only they remained, your life would still be full. The pebbles are the other things that matter like your job, your house, your car. The sand is everything else. If you put the sand into the jar first, there is no room for the pebbles or the rocks. The same goes for your life. If you spend all your time and energy on the small stuff, you will never have room for the things that are important to you.”

Jason Silva always gives me a boost of motivation. Most of his videos; mind = blown

What happens when motivation is the easy part, but finding what to apply it to feels impossible? Meh, awesome thread anyway.

Good read. In the one that I read, there was an extra excerpt at the end of it that went something along the lines of this:

"Then the professor took his coffee mug from the desk and up-ended it into the jar. The dark liquid trickled between the gaps of the rocks and pebbles before finally beginning to soak into the sand.

A student raises his hand.
"What's the purpose of that, Professor?"

The professor turned to the student and nodded approvingly.
"Its purpose," he said with a smile, "Is to show that there is always room for a cup of coffee."
