Today's Daily Brain Teaser (Jul 07, 2014)

Ready To Go!



I can help you have some fun,

Sometimes I get stronger from the sun.



If you never give me a break,

You will find I may never again wake.



I am optimistic on one side,

I can be short, fat, tall, or wide.



Rectangle, cylinder are just a couple of my shapes,

And maybe I can even help you make some videotapes.



Sometimes you have to wait long for me to get ready,

Just hold on for a few hours and be steady.



I can help you get around to the market or mall,

and even help you make a call.



What am I?
