2. Team Hoyt

Do you ever feel that you have never achieved anything in life and maybe it was bad luck or karma that keeps you from succeeding. Watch this video. Team Hoyt is a father (Dick Hoyt) and son (Rick Hoyt, b. 1962) in Massachusetts who compete together in marathons, triathlons, and other athletic endeavors. Rick was disabled at birth by a loss of oxygen to his brain because his umbilical cord was wrapped around his neck, and he also suffers from cerebral palsy. Dick carries him in a special seat up front as they bike, pulls him in a special boat as they swim, and pushes him in a special wheelchair as they run. Official Team Hoyt Site and more details on WikiPedia

3. Nick Vujicic Is a Giant of a Man

I happened to see this video while it was being played in a church in Bangalore 3 weeks back. Nick is is my hero plus he too darn funny. Once you finished watching the video you can check out his MySpace Profile and Pictures some of the pictures are too touching. Nick Vujicic was born limbless, missing both arms at shoulder level, and having one small foot with two toes protruding from his left thigh. Initially his parents were devastated, however Nick turned out to be otherwise perfectly healthy. His life was filled with difficulties and hardships. Nick graduated from college at the age of 21, and began his travels as a motivational speaker, focusing on the topics that today’s teenagers face. He also speaks in the corporate sector, however his aim is to become an international inspirational speaker, in both Christian and non-Christian venues. He regularly travels internationally to speak to Christian congregations. By the age of 25 he hopes to become financially independent, however he wishes to promote his words through shows like The Oprah Winfrey Show, as well as writing books. His first book, planned for completion by the end of 2007, is to be called ‘No Arms, No Legs, No Worries!’ See his site calle Life Without Limbs and more details on WikiPedia.

Another video of Nick Preaching watch it, its funny. I can’t believe someone with no legs and hands can be so full of Joy and Fun.

4. Al Pacino’s “Inch By Inch” Speech

If you don’t like emotional or sentimental talk then watch this Pep talk from Al Pacino’s “Inch By Inch” Speech from the movie “Any Given Sunday” I promise it will boost you up. A few lines from the video.

You know when you get old in life things get taken from you.
That’s, that’s part of life. But, you only learn that when you start losing stuff.
You find out that life is just a game of inches. So is football.
Because in either game life or football the margin for error is so small.
I mean one half step too late or to early you don’t quite make it.
One half second too slow or too fast and you don’t quite catch it.
The inches we need are everywhere around us.
They are in ever break of the game every minute, every second.

8. Rocky Balboa: ain’t about how hard you hit

Another Movie Clip this time Rocky Balboa gives you some good advice on life.

The world ain’t all sunshine and rainbows. It’s a very mean and nasty place… and I donÂ´t care how tough you are, it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently, if you let it. You, me or nobody, is gonna hit as hard as life. But ain’t about how hard you hit… It’s about how hard you can get hit, and keep moving forward… how much you can take, and keep moving forward. That’s how winning is done. Now, if you know what you worth, go out and get what you worth. But you gotta be willing to take the hits. And not pointing fingers saying: You ain’t what you wanna be because of him or her or anybody. Cowards do that and that ain’t you! YouÂ´re better than that!”.

9. Steve Jobs Stanford Commencement Speech 2005

The last video is Steve Jobs Stanford Commencement Speech 2005. Where he talk about Life, Apple, Failures, Fighting Cancer and how he pushed forward. you can read the full transcript of the Speech here.

I have looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself, “If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?” And whenever the answer has been “no” for too many days in a row, I know I need to change something. Remembering that I’ll be dead soon is the most important thing I’ve ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life, because almost everything–all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure–these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart.

Video Of Apple iPod 6G Interface – Fake Or Real?

Arpit Jacob — Mon, 23 Jul 2007 14:27:49 +0000

My name is Dennis Bjørn Petersen and I’ll write a few posts while Arpit is working on his Wordpress Theme for the Sandbox competition. At the moment I run two blogs – The Beta News, which features news about web 2.0 and programs in beta test, mixed with interviews with famous bloggers, blogging and adsense tips, reviews of gadgets and interesting links. The other one is FIFA 2008 News, which gives you the latest news about EA Sports’ upcoming FIFA Soccer/Football 2008.

Apple will most likely release the next revision of the Video iPods around August 7th. Sources indicate that these video iPods will be almost one inch shorter and about a quarter of an inch wider viewing appearance than current models. The space between the screen and the click wheel is removed to make room to the slightly larger screen, but the design overhaul doesn’t stop here. The region between the click wheel and the bottom of the iPod is removed too.

Some sources have also indicated that the Black Matte version of the Video iPod will also be “less shiny and more MacBooky”. Personally I think this sounds a bit like the Creative Zen Vision:M I recently purchased, but I’m sure iPod fans doesn’t agree with me on this.

The design revision of the iPod isn’t the most interesting buzz about Apple products this week. A video showing the new interface on the 6th generation iPod has surfaced. It was revealed on MacRumors Forum, but Apple quickly released the hounds err…lawyers and it was quickly taken down. The video can still be found on YouTube though, but due to inaccuracies in one of the Beatles albums shown in the video, most think it’s a fake.

Question is though, why did Apple react? Is it showing a grain of truth after all? iPod fans are already speculating if the click wheel will be removed and replaced by a touch screen known from the iPhone. Others think it will have WiFi, camera or Bluetooth, while some think the click wheel will prevail since Apple doesn’t want to compete with the iPhone. I’m pretty sure we’ll see the touch screen, probably not in the 6th generation, but then surely in the 7th generation iPod.

What would you like to see in the next generation of iPod? Do you think the video is real or fake? Is the touch screen reserved for the iPhone only or should it be on iPods as well?
