Starting this week off with another one by the great Eliot Rausch.  A simple song, a simple video – perfection.

|“Don’t lose your soul no. See if you, if you do, you’ll become a robot sucking up gasoline.”

To the late and great, David Carr.

|“Think this is important: If you’re the kind of person who is scared and courageous at the same time, you might end up doing big things.”

Casey Neistat is well known around the internet as being one of the most influential filmmakers of our time, and has been a personal favorite of mine for a couple years now.  His stories are honest and genuine, and he doesn’t try to add fluff or unnecessary additions to the films he makes, which makes it even better.  Storytellers are most welcome here at Silo Number Seven, and I do hope you enjoy this one.

Another one that belongs in the “Adversity” collection – so, so inspiring.

I think one of the most difficult things in life is facing failure and picking yourself up to fight again.  It takes a lot of courage and watching individuals overcome in the second round is incredibly inspiring.  Love this video, and everything it represents.

| “That’s why I don’t think age is important, it’s what you’re doing at that age that’s important.”

If you’ve never watched this commencement speech by Steve Jobs at Stanford University in 2005, go ahead and spend the next 15 minutes and watch the video above – it won’t be regretted. The good folks at TED describe it this way:

| At his Stanford University commencement speech, Steve Jobs, CEO and co-founder of Apple and Pixar, urges us to pursue our dreams and see the opportunities in life’s setbacks — including death itself.
