If you search in my Archives, you’ll see that I wrote an article on a strange-looking motorbike called as ‘Electric Uno Bike‘. As a strong believer in free-style creativity, I was very attracted and amazed by this new invention crafted by canadian, Ben Gulak. Till then, I’m constantly keeping an eye on the evolution of this project and I got some news. It seems that the electric uno bike is progressing - that’s super cool. They even have their websites - UnoCylce - BPG-Technologies.

Last time , in Phenomenal World Record Winnings Of Michael Phelps At Beijing 2008 Olympic, we also mentioned Michael Phelps’ Iron-Will Power To Perform Beyond The Accomplished. Today, I want to show that Michael Phelps is really an inspiration and had the right attitude. Having the right attitude is necessary, or even crucial in any field, including blogging, in determining your success.
Michael Said: “Nothing is impossible. With so many people saying it couldn’t be done, all it takes is an imagination, and that’s something I learned and something that helped me [..]”
Besides, having an iron-will power to achieve, Michael Phelps is a brilliant mastermind; the ability to have an imagination to go beyond our own limits or the thought of others, is just exceptionally wonderful! He sets his aim and keep focusing on it. He adds his imagination, concentration, courage and deal with every step like a piece of puzzle and in the end assembling each pieces to mould and concretize his aim into history.
I have gathered 3 small-length videos on Michael Phelps just to show you the attitude and trust (in himself) of Michael Phelps.

An Iron-Will Power To Perform Beyond The AccomplishedI’m taken in deep-thoughts by the following words of Michael Phelps:
“Everything was accomplished,..What else could I do?” Michael Phelps said.
There’s so much profound meaning in this sentence. It shows us that this outstanding swimmer had above all an outstanding vision of what he should achieve. The rest was all a matter of perseverance!
