When life gives u lemons, make lemonade. Then, throw it in the face of the person who should've gotten you the oranges you orginally asked for.

What we do is determined by what we are. What we are is determined by what we think. What we think is determined by what we experience. What we experience is determined by what we are exposed to and what we do with that exposure.
(MIKE VANCE and DIANE DEACON)

Life is like a book with many different chapters. Some tell of tragedy, others of triumph. Some chapters are dull and ordinary, others intense and exciting. The key to being a success in life is to never stop on a difficult page, to never quit on a tough chapter. Champions have the courage to keep turning the pages because they know a better chapter lies ahead.
(RICH RUFFALO)

Because you're able to do it and because you have the right to do it, doesn't mean it's right to do it.
(Dr.LAURA SCHLESSINGER)

We are born with our eyes closed and our mouths open, and we spend our whole lives trying to reverse that mistake of nature.
(DALE E.TURNER)

You can have anything you want if you want it desperately enough. You must want it with an inner exuberance that erupts through the skin and joins the energy that created the world.
(SHEILAH GRAHAM)

We all have the ability. The difference is how we use it.
(STEVIE WONDER)

Everything is a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

Every great mistake has a halfway moment, a split second when it can be recalled and perhaps remedied.

One person can make a difference and every person should try.

The one thing worse than being alone is not being alone and wishing you were.

Real difficulties can be overcome, it is only the imaginary ones that are unconquerable.
(THEODORE N.VAIL)

The goal in marriage is not to think alike, but to think together.
(ROBERT C. DODDS)

Do not spoil what you have by desiring what you have not, but remember that what you now have was once among the things you only hoped for.
(EPICURUS)

When you look in the mirror, you are looking at the problem, but remember, you are also looking at the solution.

Live your life, so you don't have to hide your diary.

Dream what you dare to dream. Go where you want to go. Be what you want to be.
(CALVIN COOLIDGE)

The first thing of importance is to have confidence in yourself, in your abilities.
(KATHARINE GIBBS)

Become a 'possibilitarian'. No matter how dark things seem to be or actually are, raise your sights and see the possibilities-always see them, for they are always there.
(NORMAN VINCENT PEALE)

DAVID COPPERFIELD just might be the greatest magician and illusionist of all time. He is definitely a legend in his own time. Here are some of his most inspiring quotes...
'The easiest thing in the world is to come up with an excuse not to do something. I found that the most important thing in life is to stop saying,'I wish,' and to start saying,'I will.'
'Before there can be wonders, there must be wonder.'
'Whenever I pursued my dreams, I discovered something astonishing-I discovered myself. My secret has been to consider nothing impossible. Then to treat possibilities as probabilities.'
'Passion is everything.'
'I learned that there were two ways I could live my life: following my dreams or doing something else. Dreams aren't a matter of chance, but a matter of choice. When I dream, I believe I am rehearsing my future.'

Miracles do not happen in contradiction to nature, but only in contradiction to that which is known to us of nature.
(SAINT AUGUSTINE)

The world is composed of givers and takers... the takers may eat better, but the givers sleep better.

Love is an irresistible desire to be irresistibly desired.
(ROBERT FROST)

Love is a fruit in season at all times and within reach of every hand.
(MOTHER TERESA)

How exactly does one become a famous singer? (link)
First of all, real singers have to have a talent in singing, meaning that they should have a good voice and i hope you have one. Second of all,you can go to centers and take singing lesssons, and try to sign up for auditions anywhere, or go sing for charity concerts, and then you'd know people's reactions, and who knows, mabye you'd turn out to be a famous singer. You could also try to play an instrument , because it kind of attracts people more to a singer. For example, the lead singer of coldplay, he sings and he plays the piano in the same time. Moreover,most of the rock lead singers sing and play the guitar in the same time. So i think i have clarified my point, which is to practise singing and take lessons and stuff,plus to try to learn using an instrument.


i want to buy this kid nick a present. the thing is that i don't know what 14 year old guys like. i ccan't buy him something to expensive like a game boy advance (or whatever) so i need some advice on what i could possible get him..
thanxx (link)
In my opinion, I think you should get him something more like a perfume, or a silver chain, or mabye if he has a playstation or something, then you can just get him some playstation games which are on cds.
Thats my opinion, but i guess you know him better, so you'd know what suits him.

I'm out of Cream of Tartar. I'm trying to make a modeling dough. Are there any good replacements for cream of tartar? (link)

I made a search on the internet and stuff, and i learnt that you could use baking powder of baking soda as a replacement for the cream of tartar, but i'm not quite sure if it will be a good replacement of not. So good luck , and i'll search somewhere, and if i come up with something else, i'll tell you about it.

There are several things that a person could do in order to keep fit, such as:

1- you could go to the gym and do some fitness exercises without running
2- There are some electronic machines that can be bought and you can use them at your own home, and they actually do help
3- You could consult a doctor to make you a healthy plan for food, with foods from the four groups, and try not to eat alot of junk food
4- you could go for long walks with a friend or a family member or even alone, just to keep fit, but you don't have to run.


When you make out is it more normal to close your eyes or keep them open? If I just kept my eyes open would it be weird? What do you guys do? (link)
First of all, I've never actually kissed anyone before, but as i see in movies and see my friends do it and stuff, i've never seen anyone kiss another with his eyes open. People usually close their eyes because :
1-Its kide of rude to open your eyes when the opposite person has his eyes closed
2-When you kiss a person, you usually feel so passionate and inlove with this person, so you are so focused in what your doing that you close your eyes.

So next time when you kiss someone, just try not to think of anything and focus in what your doing,and you'll automaticaly close your eyes.



Okay, so my friend just hooked up me and this guy. & I like him, and I'm pretty excited.

But the chances are my parents arn't going to let me date. He want me to go to the movies with him, and personally I don't like going to the movies of first dates. Excpecially when you just turned 13 and have overprotective parents.

I offerered to go to the pool club with him, I don't think he's too crazy about that idea. And he really does like me, alot. I made up the excuse not to go to the movies. I feel bad. What should I do? (link)
First of all, its really great that you have a boyfriend and all, especially that he likes you alot like you said.
But, on the other hand, dating a guy,going out with him and having overprotective parents at the same time just don't really work together.
I know what your going through, because I have been in that situation too before. I had a boyfriend and we really liked each other, but he always used to ask me out and i'd just make up any lame excuse and turn him down because my parents don't let me date. Until at the end, he started losing interest in me and a couple of days later, he just broke up with me.
Anyways, i am telling you this, because i want you to know the end of the story your leading. So you have 1 of 2 things you could do, either to go out straight and tell him how your parents are bit strict and don't really like the idea of dating, and if he really likes you as you say, then he'll stick around and understand, but if he doesn't , then he'll just tell you that this relationship won't work and he'll break up, and you'll know that he really didn't like you as he said. More and more, the 2nd thing is that if having a boyfriend is going to cause so much trouble between you and your family, then i suggest that you just break up and mabye you could be good friends or something.
In conclusion, i could have told you to sit with your parents and tell them that you really like this boy and want to date him, but because i was in your place, and i've already tried to have this conversation with my parents and convince them, but they still refused and it was nothing but a waste of time,so don't do that,if you want to stick to my advice.
Finally, if there is anything else that you need help with, just let me know.
