Inspirational Quotes for Business and Work: Motivation


Have you ever had one of those days where you feel like the world is out to get you? Or you just feel like throwing in the towel on whatever you are doing or working on? Many times when we get that feeling, we tend to need a little motivation and often times we find that motivation through music. Here are some of our motivation songs. Many are musically unlikely choices, but are lyrically able to stir your deepest desires.

The Touch by Stan Bush
While it may seem like a throwback to yesteryear, The Touch by Stan Bush was originally featured in Transformers: The Movie but its lyrics has stood the test of time. With lyrics like “You’re at your best when when the road gets rough/You’ve been put to the test, but it’s never enough/You got the touch/You got the power” Yes they man be a bit cheesy, but they nonetheless illustrate that you have the ability to do what every you want.



Nothing’s Gonna Stand in Our Way by Spectre General

Another homage to Transformers: The Movie, this song by Spectre General has an uncanny way of keeping us motivated even on our darkest days.



Can you picture that? By Dr. Teeth & The Electric Mayhem

As you can see there is a recurring theme this playlist. Dr. Teeth & The Electric Mayhem bring a this motivation anthem with lyrics like “Fact is there’s nothin out there you can’t do/Yeah, even Santa Claus believes in you./Beat down the walls, begin, believe, behold, begat./Be a better drummer, be an up and comer. Can you picture that?” Even Santa Claus believes in you! What more motivation do you need? Can you picture that?



Git Up Git Out by Outcast ft Goodie Mob

“You need git up, git out and git somethin/How will you make it if you never even try/You need to git up, git out and git somethin/Cuz you and I got to do for you and I” That’s all that really needs to be said about this one.



It may not be the motivation that you're used to, but it is the type of motivation that will inspire you to believe in your dreams and embrace your destiny.


Quotations About Motivation

"Management is nothing more than motivating other people." --Lee Iacocca

"The only way to get people to like working hard is to motivate them. Today, people must understand why they're working hard. Every individual in an organization is motivated by something different." --Rick Pitino

"Motivation is the art of getting people to do what you want them to do because they want to do it." --Dwight D. Eisenhower

"Money was never a big motivation for me, except as a way to keep score. The real excitement is playing the game." --Donald Trump

"The whole idea of motivation is a trap. Forget motivation. Just do it. Exercise, lose weight, test your blood sugar, or whatever. Do it without motivation. And then, guess what? After you start doing the thing, that's when the motivation comes and makes it easy for you to keep on doing it." --John Maxwell 

"There's always the motivation of wanting to win. Everybody has that. But a champion needs, in his attitude, a motivation above and beyond winning." --Pat Riley

"People often say that motivation doesn't last. Well, neither does bathing -- that's why we recommend it daily." --Zig Ziglar

"The only lifelong, reliable motivations are those that come from within, and one of the strongest of those is the joy and pride that grow from knowing that you've just done something as well as you can do it." --Lloyd Dobens and Clare Crawford-Mason

"Far and away the best prize that life offers is the chance to work hard at work worth doing." --Theodore Roosevelt

"Desire is the key to motivation, but it's determination and commitment to an unrelenting pursuit of your goal -- a commitment to excellence -- that will enable you to attain the success you seek." --Mario Andretti

Cool new gadgets I want

iNnovation: 2 Freakishly Futuristic iPhone Add-Ons

When the iPhone came out, did anyone really expect it to spawn all kinds of bizarre add-on devices that could make this seemingly innocuous smartphone powerful enough to do pretty much whatever we want it to? Well, we have a feeling some people did, because iPhone gadgets with associated apps have been bouncing out left and right. One of the most interesting (and useful) ones we’ve seen lately is this $50 dongle that turns your iPhone or iPod Touch into a universal remote. It’s made by L5 Technology, who debuted the device at CES 2010. According to them, it’ll actually control any compatible device within about 30 feet via a free app from the app store. Just select the devices you want to control, drag and drop buttons where you want them, and you’re good to go.

Another handy invention to debut at CES was the Mophie credit card reader device. It’ll let you take payments with nothing more than your iPhone, a third-party app, and this little device which attaches directly to your phone. Imagine how much easier this would be for merchants than carrying around a computer to take credit cards at trade shows and other remote locations.

Neck-Mounted Camera Lets You Blog Every Second of Life

You thought those personal blogs detailing every moment of some random person’s every day were annoying? Get ready for an even more personal level of sharing: the Vicon Revue is a wearable digital camera that takes pictures all day with no effort on the user’s part. The first version released is a research model used as a “memory aid” for people with Alzheimer’s or other memory issues…but the consumer version will likely be used for photographic picblogging of the fascinating minutiae of strangers’ lives.

The camera is equipped with a whole suite of sensors that tell it when to start snapping furiously. When the wearer’s environmental conditions – like the lighting level or ambient temperature – change, it snaps one pic per second. Otherwise, it takes a new picture every 30 seconds.If you’re the type of person who is inclined to record every second of every day, the Vicon Revue offers a simple way to do that without putting a lot of work into it. And since the camera is worn around the neck instead of held up to the face, it’s possible that the people you interact with will feel more at-ease than they would with a conventional camera pointed at them.

Cool Underwater Camera Casts Off to Catch Sea Life Pics


Here’s an invention for everyone who loves watching marine life at the beach but doesn’t want to actually get into the water. The Beriscope looks like a child’s toy, but it’s actually a little more sophisticated than that. The spherical end of the gizmo – which is actually a camera – is attached to a long tether that allows the ball to descend into the water. The user then places the device up to their eyes to watch the underwater show.

Throwing the camera into the water is a bit like casting a fishing line: you rear back and then let it go with all your might. When you’re ready to bring the camera back up, just twist on the opposite hand grip and the cord retracts like magic. Everything is coated in protective rubber, minimizing the chance that the device will be broken on the way down or the way back up.

It’s easy to imagine a gadget like this being used to scout out potential diving spots or just to get a taste of what it’s like under the water for those who aren’t able to scuba dive. It would be nearly impossible to direct the ball camera to a specific place, so this camera seems best left to those who are able to go with the flow and watch whatever underwater visions might happen to float by. But if the designer, Jaewon Choi, were able to add a light to the design, we can see it becoming a hot rental item at beaches all around the world.
