Value yourself..Be a first class you..!

I was going through a few articles and stuff that I'd written in the past, including the blog, And I came across one that I would want more people to read, or If they'd allready read it then.. read it again!

Recognise your attributes and make the most of them rather than dwelling on imperfections. By all means eat sensibly and exercise to have a healthy body - but also have a healthy mind. Your attitude towards yourself makes a big difference. Lack of confidence in your appearance can lead you to behave in defensive ways that appear unfriendly and aloof, and this behaviour is likely to put people rather off than your appearance. Believing in yourself and feeling good about the way you look will help to automatically send off more positive signals about the person you really are.

So don't waste any more time trying to be a second class somebody else and get on with being a first class you!

I dont care!

Sometimes even I need to take a break from deep thoughts and trying to save the world, and these are the thing I watch while doing nothing.

ENJOY!

I just want to be successful

What is your definition of success? I've been going back and forward, trying to find a good explanation to what it is and...

My conclusion is, that success has just as many faces as any other possible theme, depending on the society in which it is measured, and the character of the person who measures it. Wrongfully, many people confuse success with wealth: they assume that a person's triumph can be concluded from the expensiveness of his or her watch, car, or house. They envy those in their circle of acquaintances who can financially afford more than they can. They keep comparing themselves with the Joneses and allow their happiness to depend on the level to which they can equal these people's lifestyles. And they forget to just do the simplest thing in the world: turn inside and analyze what it is that they really like.

I think success should be more synonymous with happiness than with affluence. For it's only when you find satisfaction with what you're doing and don't dread facing every new day when your task has to be embarked upon, that you are really successful. When you can move in an environment that pleases you, and when you feel at ease with the ones you deal with on a daily base; when you feel loved, cared for, understood, and valued in what you do, and you don't have to switch personalities from one location to another: that's when you've really attained success. When you see that you make a difference, if only in one person's life; when you are confronted with gratitude, not only from others toward you, but from your outer-self to your inner-self: that's when you are a real winner.

Success, therefore, cannot be measured by what radiates from a person's purse or material cover, but from what exudes from his or her personality. You can feel it in one's touch, you can hear it in one's voice: in the way one speaks, and you can see it in one's eyes. Successful people are self-assured, know what they want, and go for it. And what they want, they simply determine with feeling, and not with what others dictate them.

So, are you successful?


Here goes

Greeting fellow homosapience, Ive come to the conclusion that Ive been a slacker lately, Ive noticed it and I know that many of my readers have as well. I'm talking about the language, Ive gotten too comfortable in the way I write, and Ive started to slack!
Another thing, Ive started to write a bit to much about music, even thought I did promise myself before starting the blog not write to much about, THE PASSION OF MY LIFE! because of the fact that it might actually bore my readers, So! I'm back again, may not stop with the writing about music but I will surely tone it down.


Or maybe you like it this way?

Sorry Ms.Jackson

Writing about Erykah Badu just made me think about the song, Ms.Jackson by Outkast.

The song discusses the problems that break-ups, separation, and divorce can have on a couple, and the animosity that a woman's mother can have for her daughter's former boyfriend or husband.


André Bejamin aka André 3000 wrote the song as an apology to Erykah's mother after their break-up. They have a son together named Seven and André's relationship with his babymama is pretty good, but felt that the relationship with her mother was going the opposit way, so he decided to do something that many men wouldn't. When I heard about what the song was truly about I, to be honest gained a whole lot more respect towards André Benjamin as a man and not just an artist, Because of all the love songs and broken hearted songs in the world I belive that this one, strangely is the most real because of the fact that a mother allways shares her childs pain, and how much pain Erykah ever felt, I bet that her mother felt even more for her beloved daugther as there is nothing in this world called kissing away someones trouble or pain, eventhought we would like to think that it does.. André Benjamin acknowledged that

Def Poetry Jam

I am a huge fan of Def poetry Jam, And have been for a few years now, and the respect you get for some of the artists that appear on the show is just crazy.

I as an India Arie fan do from time to time listen to Erykah Badu aswell but, I would say that she's not all that compared to my queen India. ANYHOW! Thanks to her appearence on DPJ a few years back I started taking her seriously and gave her music a chance because of the (stupid?) fact that I didnt want to be one of those people that she was talking about on her appearence.
I cannot get enought of this clip. She is so thrue in what she says and I really, really respect that.

Another guy that I can't get enough of is, Shihan.
I just absolutely love his energy on stage, especiially when talking about love. I know for a fact that most people who once have experienced love or is experiencing it right now can relate to what he says, and if you don't then what you had, I guess...wasn't love.

All black everything!

YES! YES! YES! Run This Town!!! This is just too good, I have not seen a hiphop video like this since Tupac and Dre's - California. I normally don't have much for Rihanna, I just see her as one of Jay's and Neyo's puppets, but her voice really works for this song and she looks real strong in the video aswell, very well fitting with the theme.

The video is about a civilization that takes Jigga’s lyrical motif of “all black everything” very seriously.

When I first heard “Run This Town,” I pictured Jay-Z and his posse staging a siege on Manhattan, or at least going to all the VIP spots most civilians only dream about like in the “D.O.A. (Death of Autotune)” video.
Instead, we’re introduced to a Mad Max-like landscape full of proto-biker gear, torches, face scarves and bombed-out buildings. Jay-Z and his gang of ruffians actually look like they’re on a mission to slay Auto-Tune.

Also, according to the video, Rihanna is the only female to survive the apocalypse, and West’s verse about Reeboks, Rav4s and girls with two bee stings seem starkly out of place in the dismal future. I honestly do not understand how Jay-Z could accept Kanye's shitty vers on this track, It is...as said, truly out of place.

STLL LOVE IT THOUGH!!!

Style = Expression

What do you think about when you hear someone use the word “style”?

Whenever the term “style” is used, it most commonly refers to one’s fashion or outer appearance. But I want to remind you that style is much more than your shoulder length haircut, fashionable coat, or your Ferragamo shoes.

Style = Expression

It’s the total combination of the way you dress, talk, move your body, or do anything for that matter. Simply put, it’s how we express our inner being outwardly. This includes all of our thoughts, emotions, interests, and values. Everything on the outside is merely a reflection of what’s on the inside.

While what you wear isn’t going to make up your entire impression, it does make up over 80% of your first impression. What you wear is what will kick-start the impression you make on others before you even open your mouth. This is the place from which people will filter everything you say and do.

Just because style = expression doesn’t mean you can wear whatever you want while ignoring the message it’s conveying. There is a “language” that is spoken through specific types of clothing, that you must become familiar with in order to make a more positive influence than a negative one.

For example, picture a man in a well-fitted suit telling you that he runs a multi-national corporation and makes billions of dollars. Then, picture a man in an ill-fitting, dirty outfit telling you the same thing. Which would you believe more?

Adam Baptiste aka ADL, member of Blacknuss is in my opinion the definition of style,because style is not allways equaled with expression but sometimes just perceivence and sence and this man right here has got fashion sense! As said before what you wear and how you wear it, make up for 80% of your first impression, I havn't met this man nor do I know him in a personal way, but my impression of him just by the look is, confidence, maturity, masculinity, authenticity, and just SUCCESS
