Instead of thinking about your weak points, think more about your strong points. Forget about searching for what you miss, instead maximize what you have.

First of all, never ever compare yourself to others; Before thinking about others good qualities, think about your good qualities and improve them. Second, believe that everything is possible; but you have to try hard. Set your goal, and work hard to reach it. Third, if you think that you haven't enough of something in your life; make a goal to get enough of it. Fourth, give everything a chance before you neglect or reject it. It may be the reason for your happiness. Fifth, grooming; appearance effects you; stay natural. Sixth, communicate your needs; if someone make you feel down, just say to him/her. Seventh, stay upbeat; don't let people sayings let you down; it's just their personal opinion. Eighth,  do whatever makes you happy and it's not harmful. Ninth, smile; always remember to keep a beautiful smile on your face, whatever is going on.  Taken from: WikiHow

In the turtles hatch season, a teen girl living near the ocean; she decided to help, that day she went to the beach. She saw many newly born turtles can't reach the water .. they are struggling and may die. She went and began holding two of them and walk to the ocean and put them on the shores. She stayed doing this for so long; someone saw her and asked: "how many would you help, they are too many ??", there was no reply. This girl picked other one turtle, and held it; she replayed: "It makes a different to it." -What difference you make? maybe you can't help the whole community, but you can help a family. Always make a difference .. always help.

Smiling to strangers, you can put the smile on strangers' faces too. You may make strangers' day. While walking through your road, smile to people on this road too. While you are walking; smile to babies, play with them; they will feel your love and play back with you. Make smiling your motto, smile everyday. Smiling will make your days, and other's too.  And here a big smile from me to all of you.

Taken from "girlup.org" Zuriel Oduwole is an accomplished person. She was the youngest international media representative at the 2012 World Press Conference in Nigeria; she has directed, shot, and edited her own ten-minute documentary on the formation of the African Union (for which she personally interviewed several former and current African presidents); and in early 2013 she traveled to Nigeria to showcase her film and speak to Masters students at the Pan-African University as part of her project to inspire young women to take action for gender equality in education in Africa. It was an early Thursday evening in June when I first heard Zuriel’s story. At work, my phone rang. “Girl Rising, Cassia speaking.” The man on the other end excitedly announced that he was from a non-profit in Fiji and that there was “a 10-year-old girl that was filming a documentary for girls’ education in Africa” that he wanted to put me in touch with. He’d met her through their volu...

To know yourself better, ask yourself some questions, to know yourself deeper. Grab a paper and pen, begin answering these questions. Who Are You? 1.    What is the one thing that makes you special and unique? There is no other person on this planet quite exactly like you. For just a moment, quit focusing on what you are not, what you wish to be, or what others expect from you and  find out what is the one thing you already have that makes you special . Identify your “special”-ness, acknowledge it, respect it and make it central to how you carry yourself. 2.    How do people perceive you? Do people see you for the special person that you are? Do they appreciate your unique abilities? If not, what is the reason? How can you change it? 3.    If money was not a constraint, what would you be doing with your time? Write a book? Become a singer? Grow a beautiful garden? Spend more time with your family? Take your time. Feel free to daydrea...

Despite all this she has decided her own path "succ...

Feminists are people who believe in equal rights and opportunities as men.

I love reading, not because I don't have life to live .. I need to live different lives. Whenever I choose a new book to read, I choose a new life to live.  Through out my readings, I traveled to Italy, India, Indonesia. I knew more about happiness and love. I lived while giving birth to twins. I lived as a 50 years old woman, married to a plus 50 years old man .. with all their problems.  Reading helps you to live a life and more. But one day you must stop reading other people accomplishments, and start living yours !!
