Hello All!
Well - I decided to start this blog because of Maureen Johnson's BEDA thing, but I didn't actually have the time to start it at the beginning of April, so I'm starting it now. Better late than never eh?
Thought I'd start off by sharing a quote I really love and believe is quite inspiring -
"Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they’ve been given then to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It’s an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It’s a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing." - Muhammad Ali.
I find that this quote has the ability to make you feel ridiculously motivated even at the darkest of times. And I really love it for that reason.
On another - sort of - related note, did you know that "Adidas" is an acronym for "All day I dream about sport"? I had no idea until about a week ago when my friend pointed it out at Uni. Fascinating. Oh, and the reason thats semi-related is because Adidas used the Muhammad Ali quote for one of their advertising campaigns as I understand it.
Speaking of Acronyms - I watched HayleyGHoovers new Annoyances video the other day - and along with all the other annoyances I agree with, this video had even MORE that I love. Particularly the forced acronyms one! And for those of you who haven't seen the video (although I highly suggest changing that by going to www.youtube.com/hayleyghoover), this is what we mean by a "forced acronym"
Give
Rice
And
Intellect to
Nepal.
See how the "GRAIN" part is clearly the bit they were focusing on, rather than what it stands for? Urgh - so annoying.
And by the way - Everytime I go out dancing or hear people clapping to music I sit and laugh at their inability to keep the beat and think of that video.
Ok, I think I'm off.
Remember: Don't ever create a company that uses forced acronyms or I may have to kill you.
