Friday motivation: Steve Jobs

To say Steve Jobs was brilliant still doesn't do him justice. Above is a 1994 clip from Jobs expressing what he feel separates walkers from dreamers. Check it out.
In addition, it's only right I also share Jobs' Stanford commencement speech.

On this Day: Jackie homers

On this day in 1947, Jackie Robinson hit his first major league home run off Dave Koslo of the New York Giants at the Polo Grounds.

Kicker trick shots: MUST SEE Video

World meet Havard Rugland. Harvard Rugland meet World.
Rugland's impressive kicking techniques may be exactly what the Pro Bowl needs.

Delusional ball

Klieg lights beam through his iris as his shoes cement in hardwood

Sweat gallops down the bridge of his nose reminding him of his bruised sternum

Knees feeble but his mind full of ardor

A wobbling effort towards the 15-foot landmine

Screams, chants and taunts dressed as a trivial distraction 

Everyone feverishly awaiting the outcome of his shots

But he has already painted this ending

The finale scripted by every kid in a gym

Swish, game tied

His rigorous training and preseason sacrifices reliant now on one shot

Immortality or failure 

Just a piece of leather in his palms

A timeout is taken postulating it may amend fate

Silly assessment in his eyes but understandable

30-second break to revive the tension on his shoulders

No words from his coach, just a look as he staggers back out

The pain from his feet thicken as his blisters swell

His fingers numb as he clinches the ball again

No superstitious routine, just a simple heave of the rock

This attempt much more meticulous than his first

His jaded arms rise as he aligns his elbow

Never a fan of observing the trajectory

This one merited a slight glance

The crowd flummoxed over his premature celebration

He walks to his bench as a Giant with his chest broad 

Swish

Game over

Then a tap on his back shoulder

“Hurry up. Practice is about to begin”
