Film: The Bad News Bears
An aging, deadbeat former baseball player takes his lovable band of underdog losers to Little League heights. It’s a classic David vs. Goliath story and a reminder that even with limited resources, you (and your business) can find success through heart and passion alone.
Book: What Is the What by Dave Eggers

This 2006 novel tells the tale of one of the so-called Lost Boys of Sudan. Forced to flee his country and walk hundreds of miles across deserts, he faces incredible dangers by roving militias and wild animals before arriving at a refugee camp and, eventually, the U.S. — where additional harsh challenges await. Sounds uplifting, right? Actually, it is. Brutal but told with unexpected humor, it’s an endlessly inspiring story of resilience against hardship.

If you’ve ever needed motivation to clean off your desk, this is it.
