I thought maybe we all could use a daily pick me up. Sort of a daily Motivation Minute. Add whatever you like that gives you inspiration.
I wanted to post a video of a song that came out just about when I finished my engineering degree, but didn't know what thread to put it in. Maybe it could have gone in the DCS Raffle ticket thread, maybe in the Funny Stuff one. But here it is:
I came back to this song recently and really value the ideas in it. Let's hear about what lights your fire.

Thanks for that. I've had such a miserable day, its a small comfort knowing I'm not the only one.
I still have that song in my phone and its days like today it helps.

I heard a quote one day that said "Some people say motivation doesn't last. Neither does bathing. That's why we recommend it daily."
Here's a couple of my favorites:

I play this weekly, if not daily, for the guys in the wrestling room:
eBay selling at it's best I can tell you stock Delorians and quite a bit of slugs so the Turbo is a super nice up-grade.

Mark Twain said that courage is mastery of fear, not absence of fear. That one has always stuck with me.

Great thread, Jonathan. Very much like that link.
My humble contribution:
Life is full of ups and downs, and in the downs, I often remind myself: "What doesn't kill me, makes me stronger."

Wow, that's a good clip Sean. Ali was so confident and so inspiring.Originally Posted by sean
Those are great quotes guys! I thought of a couple others here too. This video I am pretty sure was posted on our forum here by another member, but it is worth another look. I see a lot of similarities in the Fiero community to our DeLorean community. The unquestioned help and support for a fellow owner speaks to me like we're a family of sorts.
The second video here is of a commercial that really spoke to me the first few times I saw it. I think the biggest reason for that is that I am a huge supporter of encouraging people instead of outcasting them or making jokes because they are different or suffer from a disability. I just love the message in this commercial:

No matter how bad one thinks it is, and no matter how hard one thinks they have it, there are others who truly have it more difficult....and they never think twice about going about their lives.
