Moodboard inspiration

TaskWork:Prepare & propose 3 project ideas/topics.-3 similar things to what you are thinking about -2 sources of inspiration -1 ‘heroes’ who you associate with the work you are doing

Inspiration. 
Everyone has their own way of finding inspiration. For me, i seek them in images website 
(etc: tumblr,wehearit). Especially inspire quote. Before answering the task,  i create a few moodboards with images that I found interesting and make my mind work a little to think about the idea.

Based on these images, words that float in my mind are
" Teen / YOLO / society / influence / excuse / negative "
The term YOLO (you only live once) is trending and become popular among the youth culture.
But, what is meant when they say YOLO ?
The meaning of YOLO is one should enjoy life  which similar to Carpe Diem philosophy ‘Live every day as if it were your last’. It encourages people to enjoy and appreciate life while we still can
but most of them misinterpret the word YOLO as an excuse to do something negative.
For an example : let's party and smoke all night, because YOLO .

The issue here is about What YOLO mean to you ? good or bad ?
What is the impact of this term influence the society/you.
Create a platform to portray and encourage people use yolo in positive way

The quote "when it rains look for rainbows , when it dark look for stars" , this inspire me 
when something happen , we can always look for something as solution. 
What if I create a platform where people can share their thoughts and help each other to solve problem in more specific topic. something like People inspire people. Everyone can be inspirational and the platform is like a digital exhibition of everyone thoughts. 
Is different with some other inspiration search engine website like Pinterest or tumblr because is too wide. There a campaign called Before I die board i saw last time in Penang syok guesthouse where people share their thoughts what they will do before they die and write onto the board. Is pretty interesting to read what other people thinking. Somehow is creative. And other example the campaign that going on now #100happydays where people take 100 pictures of their 100 happy days in a row in social media and they will be rewarded with a book that recorded all the moments they shared.

The key words from this :
inspiration / sharing / people / campaign / reward / thoughts / solution /
