Cup of Inspiration

Impossible burger with its vegan patty looking and tasting like real beef is no longer impossible.

But, the following take by Standard Chartered Bank takes the beef for making Instant noodle with full 'creditability'.

Facebag

What if you can put a face to your bag? How would it look like? 

Would there be a trend for people to get their face on their bag without appearing to be narcissistic?

Riding With The Stars

Your mind can be tricked in a good way. If you have a bad dream of being chased by a ferocious dog, that's not good.

On the other hand, if you are taking the train and it is bedecked with stars, you start to notice that the carriage is giving you a positive vibe that appeals to the star in you.

Check this out and ride with the stars.

Yes, truth be told, the environment can have an influence over you and re-conditioned your feelings. If you like, you can try painting your room with stars and change your self-belief.

From Tragedy to Feeling Wonderful

Welcome to the wonderful world of electric guitars where the likes of BB King and Eric Clapton teases and serenades you with the rhythm, screech and squeal of their repertoire of guitars to accompany their songs.

Brand's Is Popping Up!

The story behind Brand's essence of chicken as gleaned from it's website goes like this:

"King George IV's flagging health inspired the Royal Chef, Mr Henderson William Brand, to create an essence of chicken beverage to boost His Majesty’s health.

After retiring from the Royal Kitchen in 1835, Mr Brand concocted BRAND’S® Essence of Chicken for commercial sale as food for convalescence. This essential tonic packaged in a unique tin can proved popular among the public."

Today Brand's is sold in 19 countries and continue to be popular for boosting energy and concentration. It's popularity is set to soar with innovative marketing for a makeover of it's packaging and overall appeal.

The Fireworks Will Come

In the darkness of night or the darkness of your soul, that's the place to never forget that the fireworks will come. 

The champion on the inside of you is like a boxer who keeps training and roll with the punches that life throws at you. You stay in the ring and keep getting up again and again, and guard your thoughts, above all, with dictums such as  "Do Not Give Up" and "Keep Getting Up 7 Times and More".

A good way to make it through the night is by making small changes which could well go a long way. Consider steering the small rudder of a boat or ship by making just a little degree of adjustment and you can surely see that the vessel will in the long run reach a different port of call altogether.

Do not despise the small changes or small beginnings. Make some changes if you are not heading where you wanna to be or if you are not making any progress. 

Your efforts to adjust your daily habits will slowly but surely lead you to a choice belvedere from which you can catch some fireworks as you relish your progress and success.

Remember, the days and nights may be long, but the years are always short with hindsight. For example, if you are now a working adult you can recall how how long the days were as a student when you had to plough through piles of  homework and prepare for the examinations. Yet, the years had elapsed at the twinkling of an eye.

The fireworks show that dreams do come true and you will have your moment of elations and jubilations if you set yourself up for it. You would not know whether you will pass the audition, ace that job interview or clinch that business opportunity. But, you stay in contention and never stop believing in fireworks.

After the night, dawn breaks and you will have a beautiful morning. When winter is over, spring will not delay. 

Daily Refreshing wishes you a deeper appreciation of life as you get passed your long nights, noting that we don't always appreciate life when things are easy until we have faced and overcome difficulties. 

The Beautiful Game

Football or soccer is often regarded as the beautiful game. 

Usually most matches are ordinary drama with 11 players from each team competing for a ball and trying to get it into the opponent's goal.

However, there are those special occasions where the game transcend the ordinary and seal the miracle moments in football.

Here are just three recent displays which could well capture your imagination that you can achieve your goals by not giving up, doing things differently and persisting with determination, self-belief and hardwork.
