Rant...Short and Sweet.
People don't want their kids to watch and listen to Obama speak to them about the importance of education yet, they sit and let them stay glued to the television when The Simpsons, Family Guy, King of the Hill, etc comes on? Way to go America.

Be Encouraged.
Sometimes it rains in our lives and the things we'd hoped to accomplished slip through the cracks. Some people see this as the time to be frustrated, and to give up on your dreams. In actuality, that rain could be your blessing beginning to shower you and to move in your life. If you ever want anything that will carry value, you've got to work for it. It won't be easy but it's not impossible. Those low moments are the ones that are designed to give us the most hope, the most determination and drive to more forward with what we're doing. After it rains...guess what comes? Sunshine. Hard times are what testimonies are made of and it's up to us to keep our faith long enough to have our own personal one. It's easy to say thank you Lord when things are going your way but if you say it before you go through, while you're going through and after you've been through, you'll find that you'll appreciate your journey a lot more. Keep your head skyward and your spirits lifted and he will carry you.

The Optimist's Creed
I Promise Myself
To be so strong that nothing can disturb your peace of mind.
To talk health, happiness, and prosperity to every person you meet.
To make all your friends feel that there is something in them.
To look at the sunny side of everything and make your optimism come true.
To think only of the best, to work only for the best
and to expect only the best.
To be just as enthusiastic about the success of
others as I am about my own.
To forget the mistakes of the past and press on to the
greater achievements of the future.
To wear a cheerful expression at all times and give a smile
to every living creature I meet.
To give so much time to improving myself that I
have no time to criticize others.
To be too large for worry, too noble for anger, too strong for fear,
and too happy to permit the presence of trouble.
To think well of myself and to proclaim this fact to the world,
not in loud words, but in great deeds.
I live in the faith that the whole world is on my side,
so long as I am true to the best that is in me.
