Jordan Brand: Love Of The Game

    Jordan Brand has a new ad campaign that brings us a little closer to the players they endorse. Each player tells their short individual story and explains their love for the game of basketball. With the smooth music and warm visuals, I found these videos very refreshing. Add to the fact that I too share a love for the game. We started off with MJ’s segment, I encourage you to take the time to watch and listen to the rest of the players on the Team Jordan roster after the jump.

Man Moment: Don Draper

“When a man walks into a room, he brings his whole life with him. He has a million reasons for being anywhere. Just ask him. If you listen, he’ll tell you how he got there. How he forgot where he was going, and then he woke up. If you listen, he’ll tell you about the time he thought he was an angel, or dreamt of being perfect. And then he’ll smile with wisdom, content that he realized the world is not perfect. We’re flawed because we want so much more. We’re ruined because we get these things and wish for what we had.”

Don Draper

A Brief Word

     “To bind men together in a brotherhood based upon eternal and immutable principles, with a bond as strong as right itself and as lasting as humanity; to know no North, no South, no East, no West, but to know man as man, to teach that true men the world over should stand together and contend for supremacy of good over evil; to teach, not politics, but morals; to foster, not partisanship, but the recognition of true merit wherever found; to have no narrower limits within which to work together for the elevation of man than the outlines of the world.”

Strong Is Beautiful

    I was watching Sportscenter the other day and came across this commercial  by the Women’s Tennis Association. I really liked the message behind the campaign and what each of the women had to say. Check each of them out after the jump.

Well Cuffed

When you put on a suit you are making a statement. Whether good or bad, that suit is echoing your personal preferences. It is this essential and iconic quality that makes it simultaneously the most important part of a man’s appearance and the most predictable.

We know that if a man desires to look good he will buy himself a nice well-fitted ensemble, but how can you tell those who really know what they are doing from those who spent an hour looking at the latest trends? Surely the suit is too public and too exposed to be a true test of a man’s savvy.

The answer lies with the cufflink. This light little apparatus is often overlooked when combined with a suit, tie and shoes. It is because of this that the cufflink is the true sign of an experienced gentleman.

How Bad Do You Want It?

     How bad do you want it? Don’t watch this video, feel inspired for the next hours or so and then fall back into mediocrity. This is REAL LIFE.  There are people in this world who have endured the same thing that this man has just to reach a certain goal, whether it may be success, wealth, fulfillment or even living out a life long dream. What will it take for you to reach your goal? Undefeated boxer Floyd Mayweather’s signature motto is “Hard work, dedication, prayer and belief,” but whatever it is that you’re trying to accomplish in life, it all starts off with one simple question, how bad do you want it? If you’re about that life……go get it. Period.

A Truly Inspiring Story — God is Love

One of the Most Inspiring Stories, I have ever had the honor of listening to. Some people believe our lives are broken-down into a few defining moments, and watching this video has been added to my list of defining moments, and I’m sure the events that took place, have truly defined the gentleman in this video (Ross Capicchioni). Watch the video, I can almost guarantee you will fill the same, an Exemplary definition of “Inspiring Greatness in the Everyday Man”.
