Inspiration September 19, 2008

Inspiration, sometimes, comes from the strangest of places. For example, Top Gun. The movie is so obviously an all brawn, testosterone-fuelled, full-of-big-shiny-toys guy movie. Yet, I totally enjoyed watching it. “There are no points for second place” is a great phrase. And the planes were awesome. Hey, if chicks can watch (stand, or worse, enjoy) chick flicks, why can’t we like guy movies! 
Another video that I really liked was Steve Jobs’ speech at Stanford. Whatever I may think of the man, I really do admire what he has achieved. Even if his speech did see to place luck and hard work on equal pedestals (that may be true, but I would be loath to admit it), the quote towards the end of the speech truly inspired me.
“Stay hungry, stay foolish”
I am not religious … but amen to that.
