I think these following videos are wonderfully inspirational. We all know about Michael J. Fox’s fight with Parkinson’s Disease. What we may not know is that he’s a very gracious person, and a real inspiration to others. Watch this segment of an interview with Katie Couric, and you’ll see what I mean. I also wrote about Michael in this post, back in October of 2006.

This second video is the historic 1938 match race between Seabiscuit and War Admiral. It shows what you can accomplish when you have faith in someone, even in an aging horse that was considered useless.

Future by Design is a trailer for a movie that talks about Jacque Fresco, a modern day futurist and inventor.

During severe flooding in Mozambique, a dog and a monkey bonded, and remained inseparable afterwards. The dog apparently even fought to defend his little friend from other dogs. Wait till you see the droopy-eyed expressions on the two animals’ faces. You’ll think it’s the cutest thing.
