Be Prepared

There's always going to be someone who doesn't like you. In fact, there are probably people you don't even know exist hating you right now. Perhaps it's to do with your ethnicity, sexuality or religion. There are so many reasons. What I'm getting at is that we'll never be able to please everybody. Not everyone will like us. But, take a look at yourself - do you dislike anyone? If the answer is yes, then one person has failed at being liked by everyone. If we didn't dislike anyone, it would be much more possible to be liked by everyone - but how likely is that?

Opinions differ - both on people and things. Maybe you've written a poem you consider to be a 10/10. Someone else comes along and gives it a 4. Sucks, doesn't it? But there's little we can do about it except try to understand why they gave it a 4. Maybe you could also explain why you think it's worth a 10. However, we can't always talk about it like that. Sometimes the other party's just not willing or we are unable due to circumstances. Don't let it get you down. There are so many people in the world. At least one other is bound to think your poem's also worth a 10.
But, you know, another person thinking your perfect poem's no good can be seen as a good thing. You could ask that person to show you what they consider to be an example of a perfect poem. Different ideas and values help the world grow. Differing opinions make the world diverse and beautiful.

Don't let fear of disapproval hold you back. Look at celebrities. There are always people out there who don't like them. They're criticized constantly. But because they're strong enough to take it, they've been rewarded.

I think knowing that not everyone will like you or the things you do will save you a lot of disappointment - or at least help you be prepared for it.



Eek. This post's not that clear. What I'm trying to say is that people won't always like you or your poems. There won't always be a lot you can do about it. And, unfortunately, it can hurt. But remember that you're not the only one. I'm sure the same thing happens to those that dislike you. I'm sure it happens to everyone.

Your Life

What are you doing with your life? Is it the way you've always envisioned? Are you living in your dream home? Are you with who you want to be? Do you love your job? If you're not getting what you want out of life, what's stopping you?

You've probably heard it before, but life is short. You never know when it's going to end. People can be gone just like that.

Don't waste a second.

'How To Be Beautiful And Popular'

I found an article called 'how to be beautiful and popular' on http://www.happywomanmagazine.com/Features/popular1.htm

Here it is:

The Beauty & Popularity Link

By Madame Borshka

It is perhaps a secret that popularity and beauty go hand in hand. Beautiful people have smooth open faces, clear child-like eyes, graceful movement and long lithe bodies. We not only love to look at them we love to be with them.

I of course can't make you beautiful but I can certainly make you less offensive.

Here are a few tips that will change your life!

Agree, agree agree. No one likes people who will argue. Arguing leads to unladylike gesticulations and liver spots.

Everything is either black or white. Grey is not only unflattering but it may lead to independent thought (wrinkles) and over-eating.

Different can be ugly. Different says," Look at me I'm Different!" It is not what we are used to seeing, so the muscles on the forehead contract and result in furrowed brows, crows feet and lactose intolerance.

People who are different usually have ideas that are foreign to others and the ideas are usually very boring. Who wants to hear about the Rainforest which is probably very far away,when Jennifer Aniston just got married right in your own backyard!

Being "different" can also lead to a dowager's hump.

You can be a feminist, just don't tell anyone. Feminists aren't popular "in" this year.Granted it is thanks to them that women are achieving equal status to men etc. etc., but they are so fond of drab earthtones. Why be lumped in with the wildflowers when you can be a rose.

Feminism also leads to senile dementia.

Accept that the world is the way it is and there is absolutely nothing you can do about it. Talking about world hunger and war isn't going to make your guests feel comfortable at a cocktail party it may in fact put them off the canapes. Excessive worry over uncontrollable events will cause osteoporosis.

Adopt other's viewpoints as your own. You can never ever go wrong with this. The only time you will run into a sticky situation is when you are standing in a group of three and two people have opposing view points (you will note how unattractive it is as they argue) A very smooth tip is to say to each one. "You have a very good point, I understand what you are saying" and then head for powder room to place a damp cloth on your forehead.

Now, go be lovely!



I sincerely hope you don't believe any of this! This article basically tells you to conceal what you are because others won't like it. Don't you see something wrong with that?
