Inspiration from all around

In light of some recent events, I thought I'd share with you some people who are giving me inspiration in my daily life right now. 

1 - Andrew Ladd, captain of the Winnipeg Jets.  This guy is a BEAST right now for the Jets who are surging, hopefully into a solidified playoff position for the post-season.  His grit, determination, and hard work on the ice is a delight to watch every Jets game and it's no wonder he wears the C for the 'Peg.

2 - The 2nd year CreComm students.  This past week we first years had the opportunity to watch the Independent Personal Projects at the Convention Centre and let me tell you... What an inspirational group of students.  Some of the work showcased was truly amazing and it's making me want to aim a little higher for my own IPP next year.

3 - My parents.  Both retired in their mid fifties and fresh off a two-month stint in Mesa, Arizona, my parents serve as inspiration to work hard and get a career already so I, too, can retire by 55.  Is that going to happen?  Not a snowball's chance in hell.

4 - My magazine group.  After months of hard work, our magazine project is finally wrapping up this week.  Our group has put in some hefty hours of research, interviews, designing, and editing to make it all happen and we're so excited for DEADWAX to hit the Magazine Fair on March 26th. 

Who's inspiring you right now?  Sound off in the comments and let it be known.
