The idea for motivation was to inform a young generation that they could also be great.  To do this I took a Jay Z quote, “The motivation for me is telling me what I can’t be.” words recognizable that could also stand the test of time.  I also used contemporary figures as well as ones who had passed to show that being a hero is still possible.
