~Believe nothing just because a so-called wise person said it. Believe nothing just because a belief is generally held. Believe nothing just because it is said in ancient books. Believe nothing just because it is said to be of divine origin. Believe nothing just because someone else believes it. Believe only what you yourself test and judge to be true.~

Heroes:

HEROES~If you as parents cut corners, your children will too. If you lie, they will too. If you spend all your money on yourselves and tithe no portion of it for charities, colleges, churches, synagogues, and civic causes, your children won't either. And if parents snicker at racial and gender jokes, another generation will pass on the poison adults still have not had the courage to snuff out.~

~Responsibility does not only lie with the leaders of our countries or with those who have been appointed or elected to do a particular job. It lies with each of us individually. Peace, for example, starts within each one of us. When we have inner peace, we can be at peace with those around us.~

~ "I HAVE A DREAM" ~
…I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed. We hold these truths to be self-evident that all men are created equal.
I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit down together at the table of brotherhood.
I have a dream that one day even the state of Mississippi, a state sweltering with the heat of oppression, will be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice.
I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.
I have a dream today.
I have a dream that one day down in Alabama, with its vicious racists, with its governor having his lips dripping with the words of interposition and nullification; that one day right down in Alabama little black boys and black girls will be able to join hands with little white boys and white girls as sisters and brothers.
I have a dream today.
I have a dream that one day every valley shall be exalted, and every hill and every mountain shall be made low, the rough places will be made plains and the crooked places will be made straight and the glory of the Lord shall be revealed and all flesh shall see it together.
This is our hope. This is the faith that I will go back to the South with. With this faith we will be able to hew out of the mountain of despair a stone of hope.
With this faith we will be able to transform the jangling discords of our nation into a beautiful symphony of brotherhood.
With this faith we will be able to work together, to pray together, to struggle together, to go to jail together, to climb up for freedom together, knowing that we will be free one day.
This will be the day when all of God's children will be able to sing with new meaning "My country 'tis of thee, sweet land of liberty, of thee I sing. Land where my fathers died, land of the Pilgrim's pride, from every mountainside, let freedom ring!...
Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

~***FASHION***~
What “great minds” have to say about fashion :
"Art produces ugly things which frequently become beautiful with time. Fashion, on the other hand, produces beautiful things which ALWAYS become ugly with time."
Jean Cocteau French
When his wife asked him to change clothes to meet the German Ambassador:"They want to see me, here I am. If they want to see my clothes, open my closet and show them my suits."
Albert Einstein
"I cannot and will not cut my conscience to fit this year's fashions."
Lillian Helvetius
"Fashion is made to become unfashionable."
Coco Chanel
"A designer is only as good as a star who wears her clothes."
Edith Head
But still we all LOVE fashion, don’t we??
But instead of being someone’s clone or a fashion victim try to find your own style because “Fashion is what you adopt when you don't know who you are “
“Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months.”
Oscar Wilde
Elsa Schiaparelli said : “Women dress alike all over the world: they dress to be annoying to other women." – I’d say she’s right? - and to avoid that, all you need is your very own style – because no matter how hard somebody tries he/she will never be able to copy your style…A style isn’t just something that you put on when you go out…it isn’t a mask that u put on in order to hide what’s under it (that is fashion)– style comes from the inside and only the “owner “of his/her style knows how the “style” is to be “worn”!!!
So I’d say it’s OK to love fashion but just as long as it fits into your own style! Create your own STYLE because “Fashions fade, style is eternal.”
~Let fashion be your inspiration but never your style!!!!~
"Style" is an expression of individualism mixed with charisma. Fashion is something that comes after style.”
John Fairchild

~AND THAT'S HOW MUSIC MAKES ME FEEL:
~Last Night A DJ Saved My Life~
Last night a DJ saved my life
Last night a DJ saved my life
Cause I was sittin' there bored to death
And in just one breath he said
You gotta get up
You gotta get on
You gotta get down girl
You know you drive me crazy baby
You've got me turning to another man
called you on the phone
No one's home
Baby why ya leave me all alone
And if it wasn't for the music
I don't know what I'd do
Last night a DJ saved my life
Last night a DJ saved my life from a broken heart
Last night a DJ saved my life
Last night a DJ saved my life with a song
You know I hopped into my car
Didn't get very far no
Because I had you on my mind
Why be so unkind?
You've got your women all around
All around this town, boy
But I was trapped in love with you
And I didn't know what to do
But when I turned on my radio
I found out all I needed to know
Check it out
Last night a DJ saved my life
Last night a DJ saved my life from a broken heart
Last night a DJ saved my life
Last night a DJ saved my life with a song
Last night a DJ saved my life
Last night a DJ saved my life from a broken heart
Last night a DJ saved my life
Last night a DJ saved my life with a song
Hey listen up to your local DJ
You better hear what he's got to say
There's not a problem that I can't fix
Cause I can do it in the mix
And if your man gives you trouble
Just you move out on the double
And you don't let it trouble your brain
Cause away goes troubles
Down the drain
I said away goes troubles
Down the drain
Last night a DJ saved my life
There's not a problem that I can't fix
Cause I can do it in the mix
There's not a problem that I can't fix
Cause I can do it in the mix
