Inspiration


What is inspiration?  Ask any two people and I doubt they'll define it in the same way. Maybe a better question is why do we do the things that we do?  What motivates us to get out of bed in the morning? Why do we, as human beings, so often relentlessly pursue the unattainable or impossible? I believe that first and foremost, we all want to simply be good people.  Yet at the same time, we want to transcend our human nature and accomplish something truly incredible. "Accomplish" maybe even isn't the right word.  Whatever it is, this does it justice.



FACT: Students who watch this video right before a big exam, on average, score 23.7% higher than those that only try to cram.

FACT: Those students are also known for forming rebellious, often violent, uprisings against the school administration. This is most commonly known as the "undergrad jihad."


Thank you for over-thinking it, Matthew Belinkie.
