This music clip is from the Television series: "Kung-Fu...The Legend Continues". It's one of my favorites which is why I've placed it first on the page. The music has a very enchanting...mystical...almost spiritual feel to it. I hold a Brown Belt in Okinawan Shorin-Rhu Karate so this theme is very close to my heart. I just love it. I hope you do too.

Paul Potts, a young man from the UK, sings Opera for Simon Cowell and the other two judges on the 'Britain's Got Talent Show. If you've never heard Paul sing you've got a big surprise in store for you. The audience goes wild with a standing ovation. Simon Cowell says: "I didn't expect THAT!". I've watched this video several times and each time Paul brings me to tears. I know...men aren't supposed to cry, but Paul puts so much into his performance that you just can't help but be moved by his emotion and passion for what he feels. Paul is truly one of the Greatest I've ever heard.
Britain's Got Talent: "You'd be forgiven for judging the book by the cover when you meet 47-year-old Susan.

Jason, a Special Education student from Rochester New York was born with Autism but he still manages to get everyone 'pumped up' despite the fact that he is only the team manager and not actually on the team as a player.
His enthusiasm is so great that the Coach decides to let Jason suit up...just to feel what it's like to wear a jersey. However...with just four minutes left in the game, the Coach decides to put Jason in the game. Jason shoots six 3-pointers and the crowd and team go wild.
The Dick & Rick Hoyt Team has totally changed my perception of father and son bonding. Son, Rick suffered from birth complications and can’t walk or talk since he was born. Despite that, he and his dad have completed various seemingly superhuman marathons or triathlons together - with a combination of 26.2 miles acres of running, 112 miles of bicycling and 2.4 miles of swimming.
They also surmounted various mountains and treks across America. This video showcased a TV interview and excerpt of one of their inspiring conquests. One of the most touching motivational videos I’ve come across.
Clydesdale American Dream- If you love horses, and especially Clydesdales, then you'll love this video. A young colt wants to be just like his big brothers and pull the Budwiser Beer wagon too. His determination does not go unnoticed by two of his bigger Clydesdale brothers...."Kleenex time."
