Well, have a look at these beautiful examples of login forms for websites and apps. These pictures are incredible.
Finally a tribute to Nelson Mandela who passed away this week, but made the world a little better place.Okay, a lot better of a place. Check out these awesome quotes from him:
-
I am fundamentally an optimist. Whether that comes from nature or nurture, I cannot say. Part of being optimistic is keeping one’s head pointed toward the sun, and one’s feet moving forward. There were many dark moments when my faith in humanity was sorely tested, but I would not and could not give myself up to despair. That way lays defeat and death.
-
I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear.
-
Difficulties break some men but make others. No axe is sharp enough to cut the soul of a sinner who keeps on trying, one armed with the hope that he will rise even in the end.
-
It always seems impossible until it’s done.
-
When a man has done what he considers to be his duty to his people and his country, he can rest in peace.
Peace out monkeys!
