The secret of success is actually quite simple if you think about it. Success is just about those people who keep on going when everybody else would have stopped.
Recently, they have achieved a small success and their future is looking brighter then a new pair of 20 inch rims. URB Magazine has a big contest every year, and Haylo’s song ‘Don’t Let Her Go’ was one of the songs personally selected to enter the contest. Since then things have taken off. Fallout Shelter has been selling clothing, meeting new fans, and even was contacted by a big time Artist looking for beats. It’s a small step, but quite a motivating taste of the possibilities that lie ahead. Read more...(362 words, 1 image, estimated 1:27 mins reading time)

For this week’s Video Friday, I wanted to show an interview I shot over the last year and a half as an inspiration to anyone pursuing their lifelong dream against all odds. It involves a small Brooklyn record label called ‘FallOut Shelter‘. I was lucky enough to meet these engaging young men before they exploded on the NY music scene. I even wrote a post about their incredible journey a little while back. I suggest reading that post to get an idea of their inspirational story.

At Yin vs Yang, we feel that humor is one of the best ways to deal with everyday life. Nothing provides more humor for me then my pets. Anytime I’m having a bad day, I simply chill with my cats and dog. They bring a joy to my life not possible to translate into words. All the late night walks, accidents, vet bills, and annoyances that come with the responsibility of a pet do not come close to matching the joy they provide in life.
With that in mind, enjoy this video of some unexpected, and choreographed, animal clips. Being a pet lover, this definitely brought a smile to my face.
Enjoy the weekend!!!

My mother sent me this amazing video the other day, and I thought I would share. It features my favorite subjects, animals, and also carries a great message about the natural instinct deep inside every mother.
The video brightened up my day, and genuinely lifted my spirit. I think we could all enjoy that on the verge of another wonderful weekend…
I bet many of you know that Steve Jobs is the CEO of Apple. However, I bet a lot of you didn’t know that he was fired from Apple too. This inspirational speech he gave to the graduating class of Stanford is filled with priceless advice from the life experiences of one of the greatest entrepreneurs of our time…
In my last post I told you how I got my ass kicked on a regular basis. I’m sure you had a laugh. Such is life. Another childhood story about courage.
I’m sure many of you have a brother or sister, cousin or family member whose aim in life was to torture your existence. I have older boy cousins. They are about 10-13 years older than me. Their idea of fun when we were little was things like, filling my sneakers with tadpoles,driving me on a snowmobile and flipping it on purpose, to shooting BB guns at me as I run for my life. Those BB’s hurt like hell! Read more...(1094 words, 2 images, estimated 4:23 mins reading time)
The social interactions between human beings on a daily basis are quite interesting to me, especially when a funny wrinkle is tossed into everyone’s monotonous day. But what amazes me most about this video is the inspirational effect a small, simple sign can have on such a large crowd. It definitely made me smile.
Growing up I was always rather shy. I got picked on a few times in school. It wasn’t as if I was really afraid of other kids, rather, just unprepared. One time when I was young an older kid on our block used to pick on me relentlessly. I mean this kid would take ice cream out of other kids hands (I grew up in Brooklyn and there was a whole army of these type of kids)…Anyhow one day this kid made my little sister cry (mind you my sister was 3 and I was 8 ) I can’t remember specifically what had happen, but we got into an altercation over it and he punched me in the chin. It didn’t hurt all that much. For some odd reason I didn’t hit him back. My grandfather was standing in the window. I was shocked more than anything I guess. Probably a little too young to have an inflated ego to mend. Old enough to know that I just got punched by the neighborhood bully… Read more...(627 words, 1 image, estimated 2:30 mins reading time)
I try to display a video every Friday that provides some inspiration to our lives. All of them are great in my opinion (big surprise there , but this one is on a whole different level.
Now, I understand in our society that giving up 10 minutes of your day to watch a video some stranger recommended on his crazy blog is not on the top of your list of priorities. But just for today, I am letting you know, that this is a top priority. In fact, it is the most important 10 minutes you will spend all day. It is 10 minutes you will not soon forget.
It always takes people facing the greatest turmoils to reveal the deepest truths in us all.
This is one last lecture you don’t want to miss. Enjoy the video. Read more...(148 words, 0 images, estimated 36 secs reading time)
