2010’s year of the Tiger aligns together with the Element of Metal. The Metal element gives the Tiger its sharpness in action and speed of thought, battle ready! Tigers born in the Metal year also like to stand out in a crowd. With an assertive and competitive demeanor, they know what their goals are and go get it! This good-looking character unfortunately suffers from mood swings and temper tantrums. The Tiger is also known to jump to conclusions or to act too quickly without weighing the options or understanding the consequences. This is a flaw Tigers must learn to curb.
And to coincide with the Year of the Tiger, Nike have this cool video on their Tiger Cortez.

But while we’re on this topic, i just wanted to share an inspiring video of Steve Jobs guest speaking at Stanford University. Although this was filmed five years ago, words of wisdom is ageless.
Someone wished me a Happy 90210 Day… [pause] Right? Youknowwhati’msayin!
