Amazing Pianist
A video of a young Chinese girl playing the piano is about to make your day.
The footage may force you to examine the excuses you make not to tackle those major challenges in your own life.
"Souvenir D'enfance" by Richard Clayderman is not an easy piece to play. The girl plays beautifully, with the sort of lyrical maturity not often found in youngsters new to their instruments.
Even more impressive, she first sat down at a piano a mere three years ago.
And if that wasn't enough to wow you, she has no fingers on her right hand.
Watch the amazing performance below.

"MIKE MONSOOR"
April 5th, 1981 ~ September 29th, 2009
Mike Monsoor,
Was Awarded "The Congressional Medal Of Honor" Last Week,
For Giving His Life In Iraq , As He Jumped On, And Covered With His Body, A Live Hand Grenade,
Saving The Lives Of A Large Group Of Navy Seals That Was Passing By!
During Mike Monsoor's Funeral,
At Ft . Rosecrans National Cemetery , In San Diego , California .
The Six Pallbearers Removed The Rosewood Casket From The Hearse,
And Lined Up On Each Side Of Mike Monsoor's Casket,
Were His Family Members, Friends, Fellow Sailors, And Well-wishers .
The Column Of People Continued From The Hearse, All The Way To The Grave Site .
What The Group Didn't Know At The Time Was,
Every Navy Seal
(45 To Be Exact)
That Mike Monsoor Saved That Day Was Scattered Through-Out The Column!
~
~
As The Pallbearers Carried The Rosewood Casket
Down The Column Of People To The Grave Side .
The Column Would Collapse . .
Which Formed A Group Of People That Followed Behind .
~
Every Time The Rosewood Casket Passed A Navy Seal,
He Would Remove His Gold Trident Pin From His Uniform,
And Slap It Down Hard,
Causing The Gold Trident Pin To Embed Itself
Into The Top Of The Wooden Casket!
Then The Navy Seal Would Step Back From The Column, And Salute!
~
Now For Those,
Who Don't Know What A Trident Pin Is,
Here Is The Definition!
~
After One Completes The Basic Navy Seals Program Which Lasts For Three Weeks,
And Is Followed By Seal Qualification Training,
Which Is 15 More Weeks Of Training,
Necessary To Continue Improving Basic Skills And To Learn New Tactics And Techniques,
Required For An Assignment To A Navy Seal Platoon .
After successful completion,
Trainees Are Given Their Naval Enlisted Code,
And Are Awarded The Navy Seal Trident Pin .
With This Gold Pin They Are Now Officially Navy Seals!
It Was Said,
That You Could Hear Each Of The 45 Slaps From Across The Cemetery!
By The Time The Rosewood Casket Reached The Grave Site,
It Looked As Though It Had A Gold Inlay From The 45 Trident Pins That Lined The Top!
This Was A Fitting End To An Eternal Send-Off For A Warrior Hero!
This Should Be Front-Page News!
Instead Of The Garbage We Listen To And See Every Day .

Wally Hermes Yachts
This widely circulated email forward features a series of images depicting a very large and luxurious yacht dubbed the "WHY 58x38". According to the email, the yacht is the result of a collaboration between Monaco based shipbuilding company Wally and Parisian fashion house Hermès .
A project to design and build such a yacht does exist. With a projected price tag of $160 million, purchase of the yacht will be in reach of only the very wealthy. A full sized model and designs of the yachts were displayed at the 2010 Abu Dhabi Yacht Show. The exhibitor profile for WHY Yachts notes:
WHY is the result of a partnership between Hermès and Wally, to develop a new type of motor yacht redefining the art of living on the sea. Fully involved in all aspects of the conception and design of the project, the iconic Parisian house and the iconic Monte-Carlo yacht brand have led to revolutionary yachts. Mostly described as the ‘leap of imagination' in today leisure yachting, WHY 58x38 and WHY 37x24 offer unparalleled living space at sea with extraordinary volumes, comfort, independence and stability, backed up with a truly environmental friendly set of technologies, delivering a drastically reduced energy consumption for both propulsion and generation.
And a March 3 article published in The Australian notes:
LUXURY on the sea is set to get even better with a new yacht designed to resemble a floating island.
Wally Hermes Yachts unveiled the designs for its WHY craft at the Abu Dhabi Yacht Show this week.
The French fashion house Hermes teamed up with Monaco-based ship-builder Wally to create the yacht, which will cost around $160 million.
The 58x38 metre yacht is designed to offer a more peaceful lifestyle, as well as be environmentally friendly.
More details about the WHY Yacht is available on the project's website.
It should be noted, however, that an actual working version of a WHY yacht has not yet been built and it is currently unclear when the first of such vessels will be completed and ready for sale. A March 4 Reuters news report indicate that Hermès is in fact withdrawing from the project:
French luxury brand Hermes is exiting a luxury yacht joint venture with shipbuilder Wally, saying it is not experienced enough to complete the project, its chief executive told Reuters. The two partners had unveiled a full-sized model of their mega yacht, "WHY", in Monte Carlo in September. "We are currently in the phase of carrying out the project, which is technically complex and which requires on-the-spot decisions," said Hermes CEO Patrick Thomas on Thursday. "It seemed a good idea to us to have only one decision-maker and we naturally decided to hand the reins over to Wally."
Thus, the images in this email forward are genuine in the sense that they provide an idea of how the WHY Yacht should look when and if it is completed. However, they do not depict a completed, working vessel as implied in the email.
