Motivation
When I get bored and lose motivation, I remind myself of how far I've come and where I'm determined to go. When I feel inadequate and jealous, I remind myself that envy is not the right emotion to feel and the right thing to do is strive to become something greater. I must not forget the importance of hard work. I mustn't give up now. I have very few role models in my life but through them, I keep fighting the good fight.
It's not about the shoes.
It's about knowing where you are going,
Not forgetting where you started.
It's about having the courage to fail,
Not breaking when you are broken,
Taking everything you have been given,
And making something better.
It's about work,
Before glory,
And what's inside of you.
It's doing what they say you can't.
It's not about the shoes.
It's what you do in them.
It's about being
Who you were born to be.
"Work before glory." I look forward to the day I can say loudly, "I'm on a boat."
Once Science Fiction
"Space, the final frontier." - Dubbed "Spaceport America", the world's first spaceport breaks ground and begins construction in New Mexico. The above is a rendering of what it will look like. Next thing we know, we see spacedocks building the USS Enterprise. 
This kind of technology where a screen is powered wirelessly (radio frequency) makes us that much closer to a world looking a lot like Minority Report. Driver's licences and passports with animated pictures of yourself! Newspapers that update their stories right before your eyes!
I just realized, is that a Gattaca reference? "Specimen card". Maybe I'm mixing up movies again. I would be very sad if J.K. Rowling attempts to sue and hold back technological progress. Haha.
From Gizmodo,
"It looks like a nondescript battery, but this is actually the world's smallest GPS, GSM and RF tracking device.
The recently released CATS.i measures just 45mm x 35mm x 12mm, and makers say it can be used to track cars, pets and even people. Given that they also claim this is the "most covert" tracking device of its type and is "almost undetectable when being worn", I'm not sure I want to know who their normal customers are.
The device uses a built-in GSM sim chip to report back its GPS data, either constantly or at set intervals, which can then be tracked online. It is battery powered but can also be hardwired to vehicles, or even solar power—though the makers don't specify how. Quad band GSM, GSP and RF ensures you should be able to monitor the people you are stalking—sorry, tracking—wherever they go."
So, basically, someone could reverse pickpocket one of these on me and track me wherever I go with a cell phone. Wow. I'm going to be super paranoid now especially with old tricks like casually bumping into me or the "hot girl" distraction. Nah, I'm not that important.
