Every running shoe on the market is introduced to the public as the best, the sexiest, the prettiest and the most high-performance footwear to hit the market since competitive runners stopped running barefoot, but a new era has dawned: Athletic shoe manufacturer Merrell has found a way to infuse its new library of running shoes with motivational promises.

Your mum couldn’t keep better track of your life even if she tried, but wearing a FitBit Charge doesn’t require you to explain why you got home so late last night nor why you’ve chosen to date someone she doesn’t feel “is good enough for you”! On the other hand, the FitBit Charge doesn’t love you—but you could fall in love with it once you review some of the benefits this technological device offers in a handy, wrist-friendly way.

On the day Dipna Lim Prasad was born, 7th June 1991, Mount Pinatubo, a volcano in the Philippines, burst into life for the first time ever, and that nation hasn’t been the same since. The same could be said for the sport of international track and field when a Singaporean wonder woman came into the world on that very day: Despite injury and setbacks, Dipna Lim Prasad’s accomplishments are Herculean, which is why Singapore was proud to cheer her on as a member of its 2012 Summer Olympics team. She competed in 100-metre hurdle events, but some of the hurdles she has faced since then will impress you more, because Dipna is a powerful example of someone who doesn’t know the meaning of quitting. Look for her as a 2015 NIKE-sponsored athlete at SEA Games—29th May to 16th June—and if you spot her, it’s never too early or late to wish her Happy Birthday!
