Life is good; and with effort, it can be better. The longer you lay down complaining about life and how tough things are, the longer you will stay down. I can only help you by getting off my butt, show you my mindset and commitment everyday, train like a ballerina and find my greatness... and when you are ready, you know where to find me. Find a reason, make a decision and get back to action. More on the reverse.

If like me, you are disappointed that the release date for the screen adaptation of The Great Gatsby has been pushed back from this December to Summer 2013,  then the news of Miuccia Prada's collaboration with the film might help ease the pain.

Earlier today, Facebook’s frontman, Mark Zuckerberg, announced that he would be working with Frank Gehry, an award-winning architect, to create the social networking company’s new campus which is to become the world’s largest open floor plan office space. “The idea is to make the perfect engineering space…” explained Zuckerberg, via his own Facebook account. The move comes at a time where the company’s share price drops below $19 – a stark contrast to the $42 it opened at back in May.

The way in which we use the internet has changed drastically over the past decade. With the advent of social media, the internet is more than just about discovering - it’s about sharing what we discover. Of course, none of this would be possible had it not been for the innovation of hardware; thanks to larger servers and faster internet connections, discovering/sharing has never been easier. Remember the days of dial-up internet, where your Mum would get pissed off because nobody could you use the house phone? More on the reverse.

So, you’re queuing up at McDonald’s, and while doing so, you scan their menu from left to right, up and down. It all looks so good, you tell yourself. The moment is impending. The anticipation builds, as does your hunger. As you approach the till, you take one last glance at the menu, but there’s no point – your mind is already made up. You know exactly what your order is: “Hi, can I have a Big Mac meal please?” You ask the man behind the counter. “That will be £3.82 please.” He replies. You hand over the coins, and in exchange he places a tray in front of you. The next 3-5 minutes are as follows: first, he pours you your drink. Then, he scoops up your fries. Finally, he collects your boxed-up hamburger together with sachets of ketchup, and before you know it, you have one Big Mac meal waiting in front of you, ready to be devoured. More on the reverse.
