One of my favorite #motivationalspeech from @rockymovie the movie . I-posted it as what’s he’s saying is very appropriate for today for all individuals , every day is a battle and a such need to get up and fight daily .
Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain’t all sunshine and rainbows. It’s a very mean and nasty place and I don’t care how tough you are it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain’t about how hard ya hit. It’s about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward. How much you can take and keep moving forward. That’s how winning is done! Now if you know what you’re worth then go out and get what you’re worth. But ya gotta be willing to take the hits, and not pointing fingers saying you ain’t where you wanna be because of him, or her, or anybody! Cowards do that and that ain’t you! You’re better than that!
I know people are going through a rough time now , SOME OF you are going into the: -FIGHT OF YOUR LIFE -Fighting for your future -Fighting for your career -Fighting for your family. Some of you are FIGHTING for your life… and i’m telling you so many are : DO NOT QUIT! DO NOT GIVE IN. the Future is amazing and awaits you ,
We all have friends or colleagues who are negative? Then , you know they aren’t the most enjoyable people to be around , a problem for every situation . Negative people are real downers in any conversation and situation. No matter what you say, they have a way of spinning things in a negative direction. Some negative people can be so negative that it feels draining just being around them , negetivity places a blanket over you .
On Tuesday of this week, Japan will begin restarting its nuclear power programme, officials said, after a two-year shutdown sparked by public fears following the Fukushima crisis.
The restart comes more than four years after a quake-sparked tsunami triggered meltdowns at the Fukushima plant, prompting the shutdown of Japan’s stable of reactors in the world’s worst atomic crisis in a generation.
Resource-poor Japan, which once relied on nuclear power for a quarter of its electricity, restarted two reactors temporarily to feed its needs, according to deVere Group sources. However, they both went offline by September 2013, making it completely nuclear-free for about two years.
Japan has ushered in tougher safety rules to avoid a repeat of Fukushima, including more backup prevention measures and higher tsunami-blocking walls in areas most susceptible to them.
The government of Prime Minister Shinzo Abe is keen to get some of about four dozen reactors back up and running. So are the power companies that own them, fed up with having to make up lost generating capacity with pricey fossil fuels.
“It is important for the country’s energy policy that the government go ahead with reactor restarts once they are confirmed as safe,” top government spokesman Yoshihide Suga told reporters Monday.
“The biggest priority is safety.”
The reactor No. 1 at the Sendai nuclear plant, nearly 1,000 kilometres (620 miles) southwest of Tokyo, has been loaded with atomic fuel. Its operator announced Monday the reactor would be switched on by 10:30 am (0130 GMT) Tuesday.

The final fight at the Tony Evans and deVere Group EFN V. Meet the Fighters: John “The Butcher” Trollope vs Patrick “The Roppongi Rampage” Wheen. Who will win?
6月19日のグランドハイアットでのTony Evans and deVere Group EFN Vの第8試合はJohn “The Butcher” Trollope vs Patrick “The Roppongi Rampage” Wheenです。どちらが勝つと思いますか？
Age – 38 Nickname – “The Butcher” Nationality – Filipino-American Assessment day weight – 94.8 kg Been training since – January 17, 2015 Company – IKEA Japan Position – Project/Team Leader Why did you begin boxing? I got into boxing because of my wife, who is also an EFN V fighter. She began training roughly 5 months earlier and I could see the positive impact it had on her; both physically and mentally. She was more energized than normal after her training sessions and couldn’t stop talking about boxing. Her energy was contagious and I wanted to support her in reaching her goal to make the EFN cut. I decided to sign-up for a boxing boot camp in January to learn the basics in order to properly train together. We were quickly hooked and found ourselves training regularly. We even got our 6 year old son hooked! There is nothing better than a sparring session with your better half to show your love on Valentine’s Day. Why are you fighting? I’m a softy when it comes to kids, especially when it comes to kids who face tough battles. If fighting for only 6 minutes (maximum) can make a small, but positive impact on the lives that need the support of Shine On! Kids … then sign me up! Favorite quotes – ““If you are going through hell, keep going”. Winston Churchill
“You truly do not know how tall you are, until you are forced to rise”
“I choose to listen, rather than wait to speak”” Message to kids – Even though we have not met, I have you in my thoughts each time I train. You push me when I need that extra push. I can only hope that I can make you proud, or at least make you smile. I’m in your corner! YNWA (You’ll Never Walk Alone).
Age – 31 Nickname – “The Roppongi Rampage” Nationality – British Assessment day weight – 97.3 kg Been training for – 3 months (this time) Company – Deutsche Bank Position – Associate Why are you fighting? I like fighting Favorite quote – “I’d rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy” Message to kids – You`re facing much bigger challenges then ours and unlike us, never stop fighting!!!
Childhood cancer is the number one cause of death for children in Japan after accidents. A child is diagnosed with cancer in Japan about once every 3-4 hours each day. While the prognosis for many childhood cancers has improved significantly, the treatment process is still long and grueling. Children undergoing treatment for cancer in Japan are generally hospitalized for quite a long time – 6 months to one year or more. This puts an incredible burden on the patients and on the family supporting them. For example, mothers go to the hospital daily, staying from early morning until their child goes to sleep at night. By necessity, their world becomes the hospital, even if this is at the expense of spending time with the rest of their family. For the children undergoing cancer treatment, hospitalization can be isolating (often children under 12 are not allowed to visit the cancer ward) and frustrating. Most kids in treatment really want nothing more than to do normal kid things – like play with friends, eat what they want and go to school.
Goals
Drawing from the personal experience of the Ferris’, listening to the needs of parents and with the guidance of a quality Japanese medical advisory team, Shine On! Kids is working towards the following goals:
To empower children with cancer and their families through innovative programs using arts in medicine, animal therapy and skilled counseling.
To realize excellence in medical teams and treatment by providing additional medical staff, enabling collaboration among medical teams and supporting targeted research.
To raise awareness of childhood cancer in the community through academic circles, general public volunteering and corporate sponsor involvement
