We were made to be awesome - an inspiring video from Kid President
“You got a heart beat [thump thump thump], that means it’s time to do something!” I don’t know how old “Kid President” is, but I think he is old enough to school us older folks on life. He has some very inspiring words, coming from a young person who has some big dreams. I love this video. If you do to, as Kid President suggests, pass this along and bring a smile to someones face.

Graffiti street artist Dover.D used his amazing skills to decorate Tel Aviv’s City Hall escalators with some colorful art that blends perfectly together as the escalators go up and down.
