Meet the Down's Syndrome man that became an Elite Athlete

A big respect to this guy, his name is Jonathan and he is a 31 year old man whose job is to push grocery carts to the grocery shop every day, while doing his job he also hands out stickers to kids he sees on the parking lot. But what is really amazing about this guy is that he has Down’s syndrome, but still manages to compete in power lifting. Not only is he a power lifter but also an elite athlete. He bench presses over 400lb which is really amazing for anyone to do, but this guy is a really nice guy who was raised by wonderful parents. His parents raised him in a way that there are no excuses in life and with no excuses they really meant none. Its people like Jonathan that really motivates me in life, he is showing us that we can really accomplish everything we want to as long as we want to.    

Youtube, the Best Motivator

I believe that in life you need a few things to boost you up so you can reach for success, one of them is motivation. Motivation is like an energy drink for the mind, motivation keeps you going when everything is against you. It could be everything in our life from going for a job or working out in the gym.

 Everyone sees motivation from their own perspective; some get motivated easily while some have issues with it. For me motivation has been my God, without motivation I would have never been here . When I feel that things are getting tough in life the first thing I will do is searching for things that could motivate me, it could be everything from a video clip or a motivational story. This way I keep going all the time without breaks and as I see it, this really works for me. 

Evert night before I go to sleep I watch one or two motivational videos on YouTube so when I wake up early in the morning I have no excuse from not going to workout.  

Is Hip Hop Dead?

Rappers today claim that their lyrics are coming from their hearts that their words mean something and that is true with some rappers, but unfortunately that is only true about 10% of the rappers we see today on TV. Most rappers rather show of their cars, money, liquor and jewelry than showing the true meaning of hip hop.  It seems today that we only listen to some songs because of their beats, because to be honest if you listen to the lyrics you will realize that some of these songs do neither make any sense nor even rhyme. These rappers are big because they are played most on TV and Radio so people do believe that these guys most be the best.

I believe  rappers like poets, they wright about feelings, sorrow, happiness and everyday issues in society to either make a change or just to show the world what they feel.
Don’t get me wrong, there are some rappers that can really be amazing but it seems that they do not get the same attention as these “wannabe” rappers on MTV. It is a shame that these rappers are destroying the image of hip hop. 

One rapper I believe is going to be huge rapper is this rapper called “Froggy Fresh”. Froggy Fresh started his rap career as Tyler Cassidy and he made some songs that were amazing I mean the lyrics are so deep and well written, but unfortunately he was an amateur rapper and also “nothing” special so people did not pay attention to him(The Pain). So what he did was changing his rap name to Crispy Kreme and made songs that were ridiculous and you can’t hold yourself from laughing (Baddest of them all). When he started to make funny rap songs people started to notice him and follow him as a joke. Today when he have many people’s attention he is making the real songs again and I can only speak for myself but this guy is doing the right thing and he got my attention,  I will support him! ( Same Old Kid)

Just take a min and listen to his songs, I get really hyped when I listen to the lyrics.

"I don't need for you to clap, I don't need for you to cheer
I just hope that when I speak that there's somebody there to hear" Froggy Fresh

JEREMY LIN

JEREMY LIN, JEREMY LIN, JEREMY LIN JEREMY LIN,JEREMY LIN !!!!!!
That is the name in everybody's head right now.
Everybody knows how this dude is. I get call all the time from friends in Sweden and they are asking me to buy his jersey and send it to them.
In 3 weeks, this kid went from a Zero to Hero. Weeks ago he used to sleep on his brothers couch and today he is about to make millions of dollars.
                                                                                         
He did not receive any scholarship for basketball in college so he decided to go to Harvard tp play basketball and study. After that he got drafted to the league. First he went to Golden State, where his home is, then he got traded to Houston Rockets. No playing time and no one believed in him. He was moved down to D-league and we was doing a pretty god job there. He got his chance to prove everybody wrong on February 4. He got the chance to prove his skills by the Knicks. The game was against New Jersey Nets and Lin had an amazing 25 points and seven assist. From there on, Lin has been killing every team. Against Lakers he had a career high of 38 points!
He shot the Buzzer beater winner against Raptors and tonight against Kings he had 13 assist.

I most say that I like him as a player because the most important thing for him is to make the team win either with    his help or without. That is amazing, how you can have that mentality. Not many players believe in team spirit.
I believe also that he is a big motivation for players that thinks that becoming a NBA player is impossible.

You just have to dedicate yourself to it and also believe in yourself. Like my mom always says, "If you don't believe in yourself, who will?"
