Big Man on Campus

When reading this title ,the image of a typical “Jock” “Douche” and maybe even  “Meathead” spring to mind. However Steve Cook , breaks those stereotype to pieces, this Biology major and muscle man. Display that fitness and academics are meant to go hand in hand. We often read about strong mind and body brings success, however many also pick one route. In his 12 week video series Steve Cook inspires other college athletes and bodybuilders to stick with it. The reason why Cook’s program stuck out to me because it felt that this was a guy who had been through a similar situation like me. I have too thought of giving up the juggle between Athletics and Academic because at certain point it felt that I was being streched to breaking point. Between teachers and coaches , It was as if both demand everything from me ,at many times its seemed that it would been wiser to give up athletics. From nutrition to Time Management Cook’s  inspires Athletics to those looking for a healthier lifestyle. I guarantee it will been tough with the demands placed in you everyday but it will eventually pay off when you are confident in your skills and physique  🙂

This has great similarities with previous post Do Hard Things

Do Hard Things

Review : Do Hard Things. By Alex and Brett Harris.

This book was given to me by my Aunt for my Birthday and just as any teenage guy I similes, a cowardly said sure “I will read it” , but tossed the book aside with a ” Aint nobody got time for that attitude” and continued with my overly Important business . Almost a year older and wiser I decided it was time to give the book a try after finding it under a pile of things.

This book revealed a lot of things personally , with a simple message “Do hard things ” .

“Hard things”does not mean eating only Vegan products , or self denying for no reason.

Aimed at teens the concept of doing hard things seem unnatural to us. After all achieving nearest minimum target to keep afloat is what teens do best. Alex and Brett Harris aim to challenge this stereotype, At the time of writing and publishing still 17/18.

These brothers showed clearly that doing hard things and pushing boundaries is actually in the nature of teens. Energy and a vision for the impossible , is what drives young adults as seen in my previous post Gen Y. The Harris brothers challenge us to rebel against the low standards place on us teens of today. The challenge to not just be consumers but doers.
Alex and Brett still have their blog @ http://www.rebelution.com

Teen or not there is still hope, find your self a challenge and don’t look back. Make sure other also hold you accountable .

So comment below you rebelution 🙂

Generation Y

Great Conversation

Gen Y’s  Who are they? And why should we care about them?

Gen Y’s are those who are born between 1980 – 2000s. Also known as Millenials. So I guess I’m a Gen Y.

This Generation is the up and coming workforce soon to been driving the economy forward. However the old folks don’t think we are ready yet well let’s see. Millenials have been often label Narcissus , self-entitled ,self-centred and in need of tough love.

Little true as fact shown in this labels , but stats show that never before has any Generation before had such access to information and mass media on such a scale. This tech savvy young adult is a far cry from his/her predecessor highly educated and also unemployed . Inclusiveness is becoming a fundamental part of our culture and borders are no longer obstacles from sharing our Awesomeness to the world.

I can’t help but think perhaps the goals and objectives of the Generations have changed not the people. Young adults now want their work to make a difference in the world around them yet resist religious intuitions . Social Media has help to overthrow governments in the Arab spring to electing an African-American president define Gen Y. Those are big changes from a lazy generation living at home with mum.

So yes Generation Y may shop at Forever 21 when 29, still argue over cartoon characters. And yes we must work hard for everything we receive. However we are the Generation that Questioned . Why should ethics and Business be separate? Why should Dictators been allowed to rule? Why should people not be allowed to live on their passions?
