1) Favourite Quote:
“If everyone is moving forward together, then success takes care of itself.” -Henry Ford

I chose this quote by Mr. Ford for a reason. The world today is divided heavily through economical and political means. But when you look around, you can see how fast everything the world is developing. Now imagine how fast society would be progressing if there was no political division, if everyone worked together. Humanity would progress so much faster it would be unbelievable. This is why I chose this quote, because it’s a reminder of the potential humanity has. This quote could also be applied to a smaller scale. If you start a business and have a team that is uncoordinated, inefficient, and has no work ethic you will get nowhere. It’s possible to achieve success without working together but working together makes it so much easier.

2) Add a Video:

This is my favorite video for no particular reason other than the fact that there’s a Toyota Hilux being bashed around in every way possible.

3) Add a Picture:

 

My favorite car, the Porsche 911 Gt3 RS
