RT @BGSport Always be a first-rate version of yourself, instead of a second-rate version of somebody else.

This is a good thought… but is it really fit for re-tweeting?

I didn’t think so.  Therefore I traced this re-tweet back an few levels and found something amazing.

I found an absolute goldmine of inspiration tweets.  Tweets that read like a unicorn crapped them out onto a “Quote of the Day” calendar and sold it to Oprah’s publishing company.

And it comes from a man we could all learn alot from…

And that man is LL Cool J.

Aside from teaching us that ladies do, in fact, love cool jams (we got that right from the name… he’s been giving us lessons since birth) and from proving that if you’re writing a song for a movie about killer sharks, you can actually use the chorus “Deepest/ Bluest/ My hat is like a shark’s fin”, LL has taken it upon himself to enrich our lives.

Take a look for yourself www.twitter.com/llcoolj

It goes on and on. Every few hours.  And there are no “non-inspirational” tweets to be seen.

Twitter needs to start a new verification level called “Verified Schmaltz”.
