“ I don’t know the key to success, but the key to failure is trying to please everybody” – Bill Cosby

“ The willingness to accept responsibility for one’s own life is the source from which self-respect springs” – Joan Didion

“ If you are not ready today, you will be even less so tomorrow” – Ovid
[ the readiness to change]

“ If I thought someone didn’t like me I’d do more favors. My cousin asked why I never worried about me, pointing out I’m always stressed about others. It was true. While I hoped for security, I was very insecure about never being good enough. She lectured that people like favors, not me, and I deserve much better. I listened. And pondered her words – a lot. Slowly I curtailed favors. It’s painful to know someone doesn’t like me, but now I accept it instead of trying to buy them” – Verna

“ It was scary – knowing I was with the wrong person, yet financially powerless to leave. I did anything to avoid conflicts and wouldn’t stand up for what I wanted. I was complacent and in some ways living in fear, afraid of where my life was going and how long I would live with him. Would he break up with me? I thought all my dreams and knew my boyfriend didn’t take them seriously. He wasn’t supportive, had no confidence in me, and thought I would never accomplish what was important to me. Eventually I believed maybe I couldn’t do them, they weren’t as important as I thought, or they were stupid and childish. I tried to forget them, but they wouldn’t go away. Every time we fought, I escaped to place where I was happy with myself and working hard to achieve dreams that didn’t seem out of reach. After an all-night argument that wasn’t resolved, I woke up and finally admitted I was living a lie. I was unhappy. Life was too short to be miserable. I did not like the person I was living with and was angry he did not care about what was important to me and even angrier with myself. I did not like the person I had let myself become. I vowed never to let pride, stubbornness, and fear control me again.” – Jen

“ Almost two years ago, I discovered I’d been a scapegoat for almost every person involved in my life. I still give a lot but now know to feed myself first, over everything. I try to remember how I got here” - Heidi

“ I’m setting limits and sticking to them. I feel more in control and happy to still be nice. I’ve finally accepted that people don’t have to be nice to me and I don’t have to give to someone who doesn’t deserve it. I’m more at peace. It feels much better than being a bitch, and I’m getting a lot more in nice ways” - Susan

Highly recommended MUST WATCH!!
Even after the first song, I felt like giving MJ a big applause… but then only to realize i am in a cinema..  @.@’’
with all the passive spectators, except for a lil girl who actually clapped :p
Do not mind watching for few more times till the 11th of Nov :PpP

Anyway, the part that i love most is the Earth Song clip..
love MJ’s quote “The Earth is sick. It’s like a fever or something. No one can save the earth except US. US”
and the little girl is so cute~~~

This clip reminds me of my bro…

There’s this section at 3:40 when MJ is holding on to 2 tree barks…
Last time, when we were a little bit younger like… when i was in primary school, my bro was 5-6 years old back then. Both of us would take two BIG bolsters and imitate MJ’s act in holding on the 2 tree barks and goes “Ah ha ah ha ah Ha ah ho o..…”

A very nostalgic moment with my bro.. My bro was so cute back then.. Now, he has turned to some macho guy..
”All the best in your exam!! :)”
