Thriller by Michael Jackson
I remember watching that music video as a kid.

Nucky Thompson (Steve Buscemi), whos the main character, he was awesome.
He was tough, he was rugged, but he was polished and classy.
Hes well respected, hes feared, hes who all the ladies love and the men idolize.
He was a true boss.
That was a pretty cool period of time.
It was interesting, they always kept you on the edge of your seat.
You thought you knew what was going to happen and then they threw you a curveball.
It really got you hooked.

TED Talks
I listen to a lot of TED talks and motivational speakers.
There are two speakers right now that I really enjoy: Eric Thomas and Les Brown.
Those are the two guys that really get me fired up.
They really empower you.
And you allow your life to be dictated by someone else.
So these guys talk about taking authority, taking control of your life.
Making sure that what youre doing at this very moment is what you really enjoy.
