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.

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

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.

We all have the ability. The difference is how we use it.

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.

The goal in marriage is not to think alike, but to think together.

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.

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.

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.

Currently, I'm 16. When (if I can) I go to prom, I'll be 17.
Let me start off with saying I have VERY strict parents. To give you an idea of how strict my parents are on me, I'll give you a few rules that they have on me:
-I can't spend the night at ANYONE'S (besides family) house. I never have.
-I can't let anyone besides family ride in my car.
-I can't go to any friends' house.
-I can't ride in anyone else's car besides family.
I want to go to prom with my boyfriend this year (it's his senior prom, I'm just a junior). Nothing mischievous is going to happen between us that night. No drinking, drugs, sex, etc.
Regardless, my parents don't seem to be very trusting of he and I. I'm not sure why since we've never done anything to break their trust. NOTHING. I've been dating my boyfriend for over a year, so they've been able to get to know him.
Now you can imagine how strict they are on me. How would I ask them about going to prom? I prefer to approach my mom first and then let her talk to my dad about it. I need to find out if I can very soon so I can start dress shopping. (link)

Hey whats up? How you doin?
First of all, I would like to clarify a point there for you that may have not caught your attention. That your not the only one with a family so strict, i mean.. my family are really strict and they set all possible rules like the ones you wrote down and much more than that. My family doesn't even allow me to date.lol. Can you imagine? And there would be so many parties and trips and stuff, and they would always not allow me to go. Its really crappy ofcourse and annoying and stuff, but after all, what can you do? They are your parents and you have to respect them and what they say. Altough i know how much prom means to you and how important it is, i have to admit ,that weird things from drugs, alcohol and sex do take place at such parties, so thats probably why your parents are worried. But they do trust you ofcourse, they just don't trust the place and the drunk horny people there.
I suggest though that you have a serious talk with them where you mention that you respect all there rules and strictness because you understand that they are afraid for you and just want you to be safe, but at the same time, tell them how much the prom means to you and how big a party it is where the whole school attends it and it just wouldnt' be right if you don't. There would be no harm in telling them these couple of words and asking them to give the subject some thought. Besides, they kind of got to know your boyfriend , so maybe if you say that your gonna be with him all the time, then nothing would happen because he's not the kind of boy who would do anything from sex or getting stoned.
And your parents maybe really strict, but they still try to give you what you want and make you happy. So think of what i said, and if you need any other help or advice, please be free to contact me.
