ATTITUDE:
"We cannot change our past. We cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable.
The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude. I am convinced that life is 10 percent what happens to me and 90 percent how i react to it.
And so it is with you."

The Pregnant girl. She got raped.
The boy you called lame. He has to work every night to support his family.
The girl you pushed down the other day. She's already being abused at home.
That girl you called fat. She is starving herself .
The old man you made fun of cause ugly scars. He fought for our country.
The boy you made fun of for crying. His mother is dying.
You think you know them. Guess what? You don't.
Re-post if you are against bullying. I bet 99% of you won't."
You tell on yourself by the friends you seek,
By the very manner in which you speak,
By the way you employ your leisure time,
By the use you make of dollar and dime,
You tell what you are by the things you wear,
By the spirit in which you burdens bear,
By the kinds of things at which you laugh,
By the records you play on the phonograph,
You show what you are by the way you walk,
By the things of which you delight to talk,
By the manner in which you bear defeat,
By so simple a thing as how you eat,
By the books you choose from the well-filled shelf:
In these ways and more, you tell on yourself.
So, there’s really no particle of sense,
In an effort to keep up false pretense .
-Marie Losavio
If you surround yourself with positive and encouraging people, you will never be made to feel inadequate. Don’t surround yourself with haters."
Mark Twain
The pigs Snowball, Napoleon, and Squealer adapt Old Major's ideas into "a complete system of thought", which they formally name Animalism. Soon after, Napoleon and Squealer indulge in the vices of humans (drinking alcohol, sleeping in beds, trading). Squealer is employed to alter the Seven Commandments to account for this humanisation, an allusion to the Soviet government's revising of history in order to exercise control of the people's beliefs about themselves and their society.
Commentary on Animal Farm by Orwell
Never say you're busy to someone who needs you.
Never cheat on the one who has trust in you.
Never forget those who always remember you."
A grandmother is a lady who has no children of her own. She likes other people's little boys and girls. A grandfather is a man grandmother. He goes for walks with boys, and they talk about fishing and tractors and like that.
Grandmothers don’t have to do anything except be there. They are old, so they shouldn’t play hard or run. Instead they drive us to the market where the mechanical horse is and have lots of dimes ready. Or they take us for walks, and they slow down past things like pretty leaves or caterpillars. They never say, “Hurry up.”
Usually grandmothers are fat, but not too fat to tie your shoes. They wear glasses and funny underwear. They can take their teeth and gums off. I
It is better if grandmothers don’t typewrite or play cards, except with us. They don’t have to be smart, only answer questions like why dogs chase cats or how come God isn’t married.
Grandmothers don’t talk baby talk like strangers do, because it is hard to understand. When they read to us they don’t try to skip pages, and they don't mind if it's the same story over again.
Everybody should try to have a grandmother, especially if you don’t have t.v. because they are the only grown-ups who have time.

but it might be better,
to paint a picture or write a letter,
to bake a cake or plant a seed,
to ponder the gap between want and need?
Dust if you must,
but there's not much time,
with rivers to swim and mountains to climb, music to hear and books to read,
friends to cherish and life to lead.
Dust if you must,
but the worlds out there,
with sun in your eyes and wind in your hair,
a fluter of snow a show of rain,
this day will NOT come around again.
Dust if you must,
but bare in mind,
old age will come and it mightn't be kind,
and when you go - and go you must -
YOU, yourself will make more dust!"
By: E. J. Rae
Just because they hang around you and laugh with you doesn't mean they're for you.
Just because they say they got your back. Doesn't mean they won't stab you in it.
People pretend well.
Jealousy sometimes doesn't live far.
So know your circle.
At the end of the day real situations expose fake people. So pay attention."
one foot in heaven 1941
Though at times it may seem
I like to sit alone outside
Just the world and me
The city is just too busy...
Too many people
Too much anxiety
So here I come to be alone
With the waves and the sea
But you,
I'd let you sit with me."

18. The love of your life should be the loves in your life.
the many things you love, not one person or living things at all actually.
19. Some people really, really, really suck. Trying to get through to them with all of the tools that will work with people who don't suck won't work.
20. You're not perfect. You don't have to be. No one else is perfect either (even if their beds are made every morning).
21. Being victimized is an unfortunate part of life. Being a victim leads to an unfortunate life for a while, break away from anything that victimizes you as soon as you can.
22. We all have sh^%. Getting yours together helps you get into the game.
23. Texting someone is not "making a real effort" and it's not how you build relationships.
24. People lie. Especially to themselves. They also lie about others. Some are bi-polar or schizophrenic who do this (most of them actually). If someone is crazy, they are crazy, there will be no explanation at all for what they do, except perhaps jealous and/or delusions. should these people be alive. no, of course not. they had that right one hundred years ago. but right now they are alive and by the time they are done, the human species will no longer exist because they will kill them all off and then kill off each other.
27. Pay attention to your audience, take a little time, take a deep breath and then say exactly what you mean to say in a way you would not mind printed. or not, their problem is their problem and there are therapists everywhere, including priests in confessionals where you don't need an appointment to be there and its FREE.
28.We are in this world together, but our lives are traveled on our own. This means you are the only person in this entire world with all of the information surrounding your life.
29. A partner should add to a partnership. If not, it is better to keep everyone else's names off of the operating agreement. Many people are just good actors and they are acting the entire time, generally to gain something for themselves that has nothing to do with you at all. they are users/takers, not givers and not in a relationship with you nor anyone else.
but what makes me happy is that you went without suffering and I had the chance to tell you how much I loved you.
Enjoy heaven and I hope to see you again one day." SamJ
May you see your children's children.
May you be poor in misfortune,
Rich in blessings.
May you know nothing but happiness
From this day forward.
May the road rise up to meet you
May the wind be always at your back
May the warm rays of sun fall upon your home
And may the hand of a friend always be near.
May green be the grass you walk on,
May blue be the skies above you,
May pure be the joys that surround you,
May true be the hearts that love you."
