Richard Branson TED interview

Virgin Group's founder and chairman, Richard Branson's life had never been easy. Being dyslexic resulted in poor academic results.

The boy who sees without eyes - Extraordinary People

Ben Underwood loves to skate, play video games, cycle around the neighborhood, and have pillow fights with his siblings. Seems pretty normal, but Ben isn’t your typical teenager: He’s blind. Ben had both of his eyes removed at age 3 due to a very rare form of retinal cancer that occurs in infants.

But how did he accomplish feats that a blind person can only dream of? Ben mastered human echolocation. He detected the location of objects by making frequent noises with his tongue, just like dolphins!
Sadly, Ben died on January 19 2009 at age 16 from the same cancer that took his vision, but his legacy lives on.

Watch the rest of the story here and share with your friends and family.

Why New Years Resolution’s Suck (And How to Fix Them)

I went for my yoga class last Sunday, and my jaw dropped when I saw how almost every single yoga mat in the room was filled up. For most part of the year, the yoga center is pretty quiet. Then it hit me: “Oh, New Year’s Resolutions…”

At the start of the New Year, many of us spontaneously produce a lengthy list of resolutions. By the end of January, most of those resolutions are promptly forgotten. It has only been a week but how well are you keeping up with your resolutions?

They aren't the easiest to maintain. Experts recommend setting simple goals that makes it REAL easy to accomplish. This is key when building habits! So simple, that you have absolutely ZERO excuses to even skip them!

Read this light-hearted article by personal trainer Steve Kamp and find out how you can make those fitness resolutions last!

http://www.nerdfitness.com/blog/2013/01/06/how-to-fix-new-years-resolutions/

Did you go to the gym in the last week? If so, you probably noticed every single cardio and weight machine taken up by eager beavers working hard on their New Year's resolutions to "work out more!" and "get healthy!" Who knows, maybe even the buried-in-the-back free weight section is busier than us...
