"Conversation should be pleasant without scurrility, witty without affectation, free without indecency, learned without conceitedness, novel without falsehood."

I don't believe in a certain religion, I don't have a political viewpoint that I believe in strongly enough to fight for. I sometimes wish I did. Because I like to fight for what I believe in. I don't like to shove my opinions down peoples throats and watch them choke. I don't even really see it as educating them, I see it as me learning. How do I learn by telling people my opinions, because I listen to their responses, to what their reaction will be. I respect people, I see no one as a...

My eyes are wide open. I see where I'm going, I choose my next steps carefully, I calculate them in my head. One step in front of the other, what's so difficult to understand about that? You need to hold your head up high. Sometimes that's tough, sometimes you want your eyes not to meet others. Sometimes the floor is your friend. To look the world in the eyes is just difficult.

I'm a smiley happy person. I don't see the point of walking round with a face that resembles a smacked arse. Smiling at people takes no effort at all, yet it usually, even if it is in the smallest way brightens up someones day.

To be human, means that we have alot of negative aspects of out personality to deal with, along with the good stuff. We are not perfect. Perfection is in the eye of the beholder anyway, well that's beauty but same difference. What is perfect to me, might not be perfect to you. For example I was discussing my perfect date with my friend. Her pefect date, was all romance and roses, which would just make me want to vomit, and sneeze. My perfect date, was going to watch a football match and...

You're having a bad day. A very bad day. You woke up this morning feeling happy. You hopped out of bed, and then it started. You hit your foot getting out of bed, as you're still in half asleep mode. There was no toothpaste. You spill your breakfast down your clean shirt. You argue with your partner before you leave the house. You miss your bus. You are late for work. You have more work that you can cope with. You spend hours on a project, and find out you have to completely re-do ...

I remember my last day of primary school, and we had this assembly where the headteacher discussed with us about how we were going onto new things, and this was just the start, rather than the end. He also said there were two kinds of people in this world. Those that made changes, and those that went with the flow. Those that would stand up for their beliefs, and those that would keep their heads down, and continue the daily grind. I made a vow that day, that I would not be one of these p...
