ABOUT ME

I never judge a book by its cover. I use the paragraph on the back, it tells you what the story is about. i dance like no one’s going to put it on YouTube. I’m not a racer….But i can fly. I remember the day when blackberry and apple were just fruit and still have no idea how to use an i-phone. i know three facts about you, one you can’t say M without your lips touching, two your trying it now and you look like an alien, and three now your smiling. I speak my mind. Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticize them, you’re a mile away and you have their shoes. I smile daily, even when the world is falling apart. I believe that in war, there are no unwounded soldiers. The minute you settle for less than you deserve, you get even less than you settled for. I'm not pushed by my problems, I'm led by my dreams. Laughter to me is an instant vacation. The journey at the end is the reward. Success is the ability to go from failure to failure without losing your enthusiasm. It's not how far you go, it's how go you far. I always do what I'm afraid to do. When one door of happiness closes, another opens. Life is short, art long, opportunity fleeting, experience treacherous, judgment difficult...that's why they call it adventure. I believe the first step in the acquisition of wisdom is silence, the second listening, the third memory, the fourth practice, the fifth teaching others. Being defeated is often a temporary condition. I know that I am making the right decisions, because out of all my options, the choices that I am making now are the most difficult ones. No day is perfect, but as long as they are improving that is all I can ask. I keep away from those who try to belittle my ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great make you believe that you too can become great. Courage does not always roar. Sometimes courage is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying, 'I will try again tomorrow." The happiest people don't have they best of everything, they make the best of what they have. I have enemies, but that just means I've stood up for my truths. I'm going to live life or die trying.
