Finding a Little Inspiration
Posted by the Speaker - 01/07/11 at 10:07:10 am
Inspiration is one of the best idea starters. But what is inspiration exactly? Inspiration by definition is something that inspires you to an action or influence. In plain English that means something that motivates you to move in a certain direction or do a certain action.
Inspiration can come from anywhere. Some people find inspiration in motivational speakers, quotes, art, nature, other people and pretty much anything else you can imagine. Inspiration is what creates passion for something. When you are inspired by an outside source to action it is usually because you have a real passion for it and the inspiration is guiding your passion.
The reason we need inspiration is to keep up our drive. If you feel bored or frustrated with a job or topic it can get a lot harder to trudge forward but if something inspires you, you will feel determined to see it through and most likely excel at it.
People look for inspiration when they are stuck and can’t move forward, when they fail and need to figure out how to pick themselves up and when they just need that extra push to get over the finish line. People also seek inspiration when they are faced with tough decisions.
If you are seeking inspiration just look all around you there are plenty of options to choose from. The right inspiration can get you right back on track doing what you need to be doing and being happy about it again. So be inspired!
The Life of Michael Jackson
Posted by the Speaker - 07/05/11 at 10:05:18 am
Michael Jackson is one of the most well known and well loved performers anywhere in the world. His music and dance have touched the lives of many for over 50 years. Michael first came on the scene as a young boy in a group with his siblings called the Jackson 5. The Jackson 5 had such top hits as “ABC”, “Pretty Young Thing” and “I’ll Be There.”
In 1971 Michael Jackson set out on his solo career and propelled himself to being the top pop star of the 80’s. In the 1980’s Jackson fever was everywhere songs like “Beat It”, “Billy Jean” and “Thriller” were chart toppers and songs that marked a whole generation of people.
Michael Jackson’s 1982 album “Thriller” is the best selling album of all time and is still many times the #1 song on MTV video countdowns some 30 years later. The 1990’s had a very different turn for Michael. In 1993 he was accused of sexual molestation a charge that would become a theme in his later life.
For many years after the molestation accusations Michael laid kind of low out of the spotlight focusing on being a father and was ready to hit the ground with a brand new tour right before his death.
On June 25, 2009 Michael Jackson was rushed to the emergency room and was pronounced dead on his arrival. In usual Michael Jackson fashion his death created a huge outpouring of people coming out to show their love and support for him.
The circumstances revolving his death have been suspicious and there are currently ongoing criminal trials against the Doctor who was at the house the day Michael Jackson died.

The life of Walt Disney is a fantastic one and although Walt Disney only lived to the age of 65, what he accomplished in his short life will leave a legacy on many of the generations to come.
Many of his characters are world famous and almost anyone can recognize the Disney logo. While Walt did not live to see his first amusement park open, he was the creator and designer and his vision came to life and many people enjoy this vision every single day.
Mickey Mouse started as the Jazz Singer and opened in 1928 and this was around the same time as Steamboat Willie which received rave reviews for its time. Mickey Mouse took America by storm and he was an instant success with more popularity then ever imagined in this day and age. The life of Walt Disney will always include a reference to Mickey Mouse as this is where Disney really got their start.
The first theme park was scheduled to open in 1971 and the life of Walt Disney was based around this moment. While Walt Disney was not alive to see this opening, his brother Roy Disney took over this special occasion. Sadly Roy Disney died just 2 months after this opening, but was alive to see this monumental occasion.
The Disney theme parks are the largest in the world and this has not been accomplished by anyone else. They are still a very popular attraction with some things being upgraded, but this is one park that still has a nostalgic feel taking you back to your childhood if you visited as a child. This is one of the many reasons for the parks unfounded popularity.
The life of Walt Disney also includes many film achievements and Disney in film is still very popular today. Hand animation is where Disney got his start and now the latest and greatest technology is used to create one of a kind cartoon experiences for all ages. These cartoons continue to be as popular as ever and this will keep the Disney name strong for many years to come.
The life of Walt Disney is a very interesting one and a legacy that has been left to be nurtured. The Disney parks continue to grow and expand with Disney keeping to its roots. It can be hard to imagine life without Disney and all of the wonderful creations that have been made.
