My Personal Inspiration by Michal Virag
My
personal Inspiration- Muhammad ALI (Cassius
Clay)

By Michal Virag
My personal inspiration would by Muhammad Ali, because I
really like his personality, self believe , attributes, skills, and qualities
.When I was 14years old, I have started to boxing in a local boxing club called
‘’Kometa Brno’’ boxing club. On our second boxing lesson our trainer showed as
video of Ali’s highlights in the ring and I was just astounded by his
performance. I will never forget when I
have saw Ali in action for the very first time. Ali will always be my IDOL
Muhammad Ali is considered one of the world’s greatest
boxers and a three time World Heavyweight Champion. His professional record of
56 wins to 5 losses is unprecedented.
After retirement, he was championing social causes,
travelling the world to fight hunger, poverty and racial and religious
discrimination.
Muhammad Ali was born in Louisville, Kentucky as the younger
of 2 boys. Before he converted to Islam, he was known as Cassius Clay.
Clay was discovered by a boxing coach at a very young age of
12.
He was trained under various coaches as an amateur boxer and
had an amazing record of 100 wins to 5 losses. The end of his amateur career
began when he won the Summer Olympics gold in 1960 and his professional career began.
Clay always had a unique fighting style, not adopting the
high arm guard, but relying on his speed to avoid opponent’s punches. His
famous phrase was, “Float like a
butterfly, sting like a bee.”
Muhammad Ali has received several awards and recognitions,
including:
•Presidential Medal of Freedom, 2005

•Otto Hahn Peace Medal in Gold by the UN Association of
Germany
•Muhammad Ali Centre was opened in 2005
•Arthur Ashe Courage Award, 1997
He
who is not courageous enough to take risks will accomplish nothing in life.

MY PERSONAL INSPARATION
My personal inspiration
is Alexis Sanchez the Arsenal Football Club player I have chosen this man because
I have always liked arsenal and he is by far my favorite player.
After his
debut season of first-team football with Cobreloa, Sánchez was signed by
Italy's Udinese Calcio in 2006. Following successful loans at Colo-Colo and
River Plate, he began playing in Serie A. In 2011, he was signed by Barcelona
for £25 million, becoming the most expensive transfer in Chilean football
history. Sánchez signed for Arsenal in July 2014 for a fee reported to be £31.7
million, making him the third-most expensive signing in the club's history
after Mesut Özil and Granit Xhaka.
Sánchez has
been a full international for Chile since 2006, and has earned 100 caps, making
him the team's second-most capped player of all time after goalkeeper Claudio
Bravo. With 34 goals, he is their third top scorer of all time. He played in
two FIFA World Cups (2010 and 2014) as well as three Copa América tournaments,
winning two of the latter.
Alexis has allot
of skills and qualities as he is a professional footballer he has to have loads
like.

I would like to have better communication skills because in the workplace
they are crucial you will need to tall to new people every day and you might
even be in a work place where you need to talk to someone from a different country
and you will need this skill to do that well.
I would also like to have better marketing skills if I am going to be
working in say admin marketing skills are key because you will need to deal
with money and other companies you don’t want to get anything wrong and have to
pay for it.
My Personal inspiration by dylan brownlie
My Personal inspiration
My inspirational person would have to be William Shakespeare
because he changed the imagination of the world and opened their eye to a whole
new idea of poetry.
Short bio of William Shakespeare
William Shakespeare was born in Stratford-upon-Avon on 23rd
April 1564. His father William was a successful local businessman and his
mother Mary was the daughter of a landowner. Relatively prosperous, it is
likely the family paid for Williams’s education, although there is no evidence
he attended university. In 1582 William, aged only 18 married an older woman
named Anne Hathaway. They had three children, Susanna, Hamnet and Juliet. Their
only son Hamnet died aged just 11. After his marriage, information about the
life of Shakespeare is sketchy but it seems he spent most of his time in London
– writing and acting in his plays. Due to some well-timed investments
Shakespeare was able to secure a firm financial background, leaving time for
writing and acting. The best of these investments was buying some real estate
near Stratford in 1605.
The skills and of William Shakespeare
Some of his skills would have had to have been speaking and
writing skills as they were already a big part of his work and also he used
people skills as well to understand how they would feel about his work. I would
personally like to have these skills because they could get me very far in life
and greatly improve my work in the work place and collage.

Week 2 Video on Social media
Here's a short YouTube about social media from Common Craft you might
enjoy. If you like the format we might try making our own video like
this.
What do you think? Could we do this if we worked together? Are there social media tools that would be useful in publishing and sharing video media?

Hope you are as excited as I am to be studying Digital Culture: Social Software.
Social media is having a terrific impact on our lives - but is it all positive? or are there negatives as well?
This Unit is designed to help you become aware of the impact of digital technology on contemporary culture
You will be 'learning' by using a range of social software that promote communication and collaboration.
These tools include, but are not restricted to, email, chat, newsgroups or forums, instant messaging, blogs, wikis, social networking sites and virtual worlds.
