Eat Healthy
Some kids are getting fat because they eat too many things with fat in then. If you want to lose weight then exercise each day for about 20 minutes. So get off the couch and start a healthy life. Go to the gym, take walks, and eat vegetables. If you want to look young then eat healthy.

Remember smoking = killing yourself. if you want to live a happy life don’t smoke and your dreams will come true if you smoke you may destroy your chances of having a good life.

Sometimes things happen that you can’t explain and don’t understand... You end u driving yourself crazy wondering why. Being sad shows emotion, being strong gets you through, its the unconditional love that makes the pain go away! So cry because it hurts! Pray to get the strength you need... and smile knowing the love you have for one another.

When learning something new, like in a business, it’s really important to write what you do down. And also, how the things you do affect or change the result. That way, not only you know your progress, but those around you, like investors or managers, can also see how awesome you are.

In order to draw something from life it is essential to momentarily forget what you think that you know and take time to learn to see. Don’t look passively, look actively. Then you will really know how to world is proportioned.

Nature’s first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leafs a flower;
But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf.
So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to day.
Nothing gold can stay.

He is “undatable”
not only because

BA - he also wears
long denim shorts
and we’re the only chicks
at 76
with better ink than everyone
here - put together -
anyway -
... So... there you go.
and we’re not on line, wasting time
just hungry and spittin' rhymes
at east there aren’t any mines
And the sun will shine
again in a couple hours
but we’ll hang till the powerstatbc(unreadable)
Kick us out of this seat

I’m pretty sure oil still pours into the ocean thanks to BP. I saw pictures of pelicans and seabirds yesterday. They were far too covered in oil to move. We are killing the oceans. Dead zones are on the rise.

When you travel to a new place, shop at the local markets and eat the local food. Culture is built around our basic human functions - eating is one of them. Humans share this basic need, but express its fulfillment in some many diverse and creative ways.
Specific fact: "kelewele" is a fried plantain snack, spiced with ginger and pepper and native to West Africa. Best enjoyed with groundnuts, Star (a brand of beer from Ghana) and a good companion.
Also, the item on displaying the women's restroom of this coffee shop is used to sweep kitchen floors in Ghana?

Between what we expect and what we experience is usually a gap. What we do with the gap effects everything. Do use "assume the worst" or "expect the best." I'm learning to expect the best - why not?
