Something to mull over...

For those of us who look on Michelle Obama with admiration, here are some things she said, that we can think about---chew over---and absorb----

  • Treat others with dignity and respect
  • Be humble and grateful for everything we have
  • To put every last bit of effort into our education (education never ends, so those of us who are way, way past college, need especially to remember this, and keep educating ourselves)
  • To take pride in our work
  • To push for excellence in every single thing we do
  • To take every single opportunity that presents itself and make the most of it (this is not age-specific either, 'cos opportunities keep cropping up, especially when we least expect it)

And, 
      This is something that is especially meaningful for me...
  • Our circumstances do not define us and if we believe in ourselves, if we make the most of every single opportunity, we can build our own destinies and accomplish anything we put our minds to

    And yes....

                 we can keep dreaming.........
                                           
                                      no matter how young......
             
                                                             or

                                                                     how old.............
