About Me

:::VIEW MY WEBSITE & BLOG IN PROGRESS AT WWW.ASTRIDMONIQUE.COM :::What I must do is all that concerns me, not what people think. This rule, equally arduous in action and in intellectual life, may serve for the whole distinction between greatness and meanness. It is harder, because you will always find those who think they know what is your duty better than you know it. It is easy in the world to live after the world's opinion; it is easy in solitude to live after your own; but the great man is he who in the midst of the crowd keeps with perfect sweetness the independence of solitude. - Ralph Waldo Emerson - Self-Reliance
