After Twitter user Jay posted a motivational photo of himself going off to work in his Baskin Robbins mascot costume, others who work as mascots followed suit by posting themselves in their absurd uniforms. The whole thing has turned out to be oddly inspirational.
Twitter has a tradition where every Thursday users post inspirational and reflective quotes under the hashtag #thursdaythoughts, we thought it might be nice to share the best of these to give us that extra push we need to get through the week.
Quotes like this can be extremely overused and come across as a little cliche, but we find that there's some importance to even the slightest degree of self-reflection.
This is Thursday Thoughts which means there's only one more day to go.

Four years ago James Young suffered through a tragic, life-threatening accident when he lost his arm and leg after falling in between two train carriages. The subsequent days were a dark time for Young, but he sought solace through a true passion of his--gaming. Young would play his Playstation 4 using his right arm and teeth in a feat of true dedication.
As fate would have it, Konami eventually featured an ad calling upon all interested gamer amputees to enter a raffle of sorts, in which the selected applicant would receive a prosthetic inspired by Konami's Metal Gear Solid. Young was fortunate enough to be selected, and even offer up his two-cents on the prosthetic's design.
The carbon-fiber limb is controlled by muscle signals from Young. He can shake hands, lift groceries, and pick up small objects like coins. Young has already taken the initiative to start up his own fundraising campaign, with hopes to further improve upon the technology for future users (an example being the arm weighs 10 lb, requires harness and gel, and can't be worn all day).
