youngarn from nigeria JULY 8, 2013
You can either be a plus or minus to ur generation, to be a plus, u must first see & appreciate the good that is in u before u can bring it out to impact others(ur abilities and gifts). Believing in urself is a must if u want ur generation to know that u came into this world.

Anderson from Colatina, ES - Brasil JULY 8, 2013

Marlis from United States JULY 17, 2012
I recently was in the hospital for yet ANOTHER emergency surgery. My 18th surgery in 10 years, most of them not planned. It is what it is. I don't know about elsewhere in other hospitals but the ones I've been in have marker boards on the wall for nurses to right their name, the date, goals for the patient etc. I like to take over the goals section. I find a quote to post to inspire myself and those that are helping me. If nothing else, it makes someone smile. I have one vice in this world though I'm not sure if a decaf coffee from Starbucks without any syrups, milk, creamers or other flavors counts as a vice, hehehehehe. After 6 days in, I was getting antsy, so I marched over to the board and wrote, "Starbucks is out there!" It reminded me that even a simple silly goal of a decaf coffee is better than no goal at all, especially when you start to feel defeated, depressed and the "is this ever going to end?!" feeling. It got me to walking more. But what truly astonished me was how much it made all the people coming into my room be it doctors, nurses, lab personnel and visitors - laugh. Just absolutely crack up laughing. I heard many of the medical folks say they needed the laugh due to a tough day. So when you think you are only inspiring yourself, giving yourself a boost, the good vibes are passed along to the people who need it most and that has a beautiful ripple effect!

sally from new jersey MAY 13, 2012
I want sooo much to be able to believe in myself.. I read all these words out there that are so encouraging. I want that feeling.
