God bless

Des MILLIONS de dollars qui vous tombent dessus de façon tout à fait inattendue ? Une invention toute simple mais qui a une portée incroyablement étendue ? Une idée toute simple dont toutes les maisons et commerces veulent posséder ? Une porte vers la liberté ? C'est permis de rêver, oh oui....!

C'est fou comme une idée extraordinaire mais toute simple provenant d'un citoyen lui ordinaire, peut transformer des vies et offrir autant d'espoir d'une vie meilleure, d'une vie inspirante, d'une vie où l'on peut avoir des projets qui sont réalisables. Y a-t-il un Dieu derrière tout ça ? Je crois que oui.

Il faut de l'argent pour faire de l'argent. En 2013, malheureusement oui. Ou heureusement. C'est permis de rêver.

God bless.

You're all i need

Why do i sway
i can't face the day without you
my heart drifts away
but your love remains always true

As i'm sailin' away
on the rivers of time
your love will carry me through
the storms in my life

You're all I need
when the world is closin' in
my strength is runnin' thin
when i'm lost in the storm
you're all i need

There's no need to look anywhere
there's nothing that can compare
to the love that you give
you're all i need

Sometimes i wait
until i can't take anymore
you show me the way
you help me sail back to the shore

When i'm drifting away
on the angry tides
i cast out my anchor into
the sea of your love

Why do i sway
i can't face the day without you
all i can say
you're all i need

You're all i need
you're all that i want
nothing in this world
could give me more

When i was you man

Same bed but it feels just a little bit bigger now
Our song on the radio but it don't sound the same
When our friends talk about you, all it does is just tear me down
Cause my heart breaks a little when I hear your name

It all just sounds like oooooh…
Mmm, too young, too dumb to realize
That I should have bought you flowers
And held your hand
Should have gave you all my hours
When I had the chance
Take you to every party
Cause all you wanted to do was dance
Now my baby's dancing
But she's dancing with another man

My pride, my ego, my needs, and my selfish ways
Caused a good strong woman like you to walk out my life
Now I never, never get to clean up the mess I made, ohh…
And it haunts me every time I close my eyes

It all just sounds like oooooh…
Mmm, too young, too dumb to realize
That I should have bought you flowers
And held your hand
Should have gave you all my hours
When I had the chance
Take you to every party
Cause all you wanted to do was dance
Now my baby's dancing
But she's dancing with another man

Although it hurts
I'll be the first to say that I was wrong
Oh, I know I'm probably much too late
To try and apologize for my mistakes
But I just want you to know

I hope he buys you flowers
I hope he holds your hand
Give you all his hours
When he has the chance
Take you to every party
Cause I remember how much you loved to dance
Do all the things I should have done
When I was your man
Do all the things I should have done
When I was your man

- Bruno Mars

10 ways to inspire others

1. Be a good example. People watch what you do more than they listen to what you say. Be someone worth emulating.
2. Care about others. People don’t care about how much you know until they know how much you care. Ask questions. Take a genuine interest in people.
3. Encouragement. Everyone goes through tough times. When you support people and encourage them through these times, you’ll be inspiring them to see the best in themselves and in the situation.
4. Be inspired yourself. Look for people, ideas, environments and knowledge that you find inspiring and motivating.
5. Share from your own experience. You have more to share than you realize. Mine the rich experiences of your life and share your wisdom from your unique point of view. You may be the only one who can touch someone with your inspiring message.
6. Be vulnerable. Be willing to share your failures as well as your successes. Others will relate to you. They’ll understand that they’re not the only ones with challenges.
7. Tell stories. Facts tell and stories sell. They inspire, too. We learn best from parables and we all need to develop our own inspiring stories.
8. Be a good communicator. Increasing your ability to communicate effectively is a critical element for you to inspire others. Watch how you speak and what you say. Invest in your communication skills.
9. Challenge people. Many of us have had teachers who at times seemed more like tormentors than mentors. They challenged us to do our best, and we were better for it. Practice “carefrontation”—the careful and caring confrontation of others.
10. Read. It may not follow that all readers are leaders, but certainly all leaders are readers. Stay informed. Share what you read with others. Tell people about books that have inspired you. Share the knowledge.

True Love

Je suis riche

D'entrée de jeu : Nah je ne suis pas riche. J'espérais attirer l'attention d'une certaine catégorie de lecteurs. Mais qu'est-ce que la richesse... et est-ce que l'argent fait le bonheur ? Oui. En fait non, mais oui. Tout le monde s'accorde pour dire qu'ils sont en étroit lien, c'est évident et je ne ferai certainement pas de ce sujet un texte tellement j'en suis convaincue.

Je voulais plutôt parler de ma vie. Je trouve ma vie riche. Pas toujours de tout repos, mais riche, oh oui. Riche d'expériences, de liberté, riche de possibilités, d'acquis. Riche d'un homme qui me laisse vivre et m'appuie dans ma folie, dans mes idées de grandeur, dans mon non-conformisme. Un amoureux à qui je peux offrir toute ma vulnérabilité et me sentir quand même en sécurité.

Je trouve ma vie prospère quand je regarde les deux beaux enfants qui me sont sortis du corps et qui sont un peu mon prolongement, notre prolongement à moi et à lui. Deux petits êtres de sexes différents qui m'apprennent à redécouvrir la vie d'un oeil innocent, deux petites personnes devant qui je m'émerveille jour après jour.

Mon trésor à moi, ce n'est pas l'argent. Oui certes j'aime l'argent comme tout le monde, mais il y a une richesse bien plus grande que l'argent. Je n'ai pas été dotée d'un méga-talent particulier, ou d'une beauté rare, ou d'une capacité sociale sans limites, ou d'un tout autre don enviable. Non. Mais je trouve que j'ai quand même reçu une vie qui est bien, un corps correct, une éducation respectable, des habiletés qui me permettent de vivre une vie honorable et trépidante à la fois.

Ma vie elle est bien. Et franchement, je n'ai pas une tonne des personnes à envier.

11 choses qui ne s'apprennent pas à l'école

Règle 1 : La vie est injuste : habituez vous!
Règle 2 : Le monde se fout de votre amour-propre. Le monde s'attendra à ce que vous accomplissiez quelque chose AVANT que vous ne vous félicitiez vous-même.
Règle 3 : Vous ne gagnerez pas $60 000 par an en sortant de l'école. Vous ne serez pas vice-président en commençant, avec GSM et voiture de fonction fournis, avant d'avoir mérité, gagné ces privilèges.
Règle 4 : Si vous croyez que votre professeur est dur avec vous, attendez d'avoir un patron.
Règle 5 : Travailler dans une friterie n'est pas s'abaisser. Vos grands-parents avaient un mot différent pour ça : ils l'appelaient une opportunité.
Règle 6 : Si vous gaffez, CE N'EST PAS LA FAUTE DE VOS PARENTS, arrêtez de chialer et apprenez de vos erreurs.
Règle 7 : Avant que vous naissiez, vos parents n'étaient pas aussi ennuyants qu'ils le sont maintenant ! Ils sont devenus en payant vos factures, en nettoyant vos vêtements et en vous entendant répéter sans arrêt combien vous êtes bons et cools. Ainsi, avant de sauver les forêts tropicales des parasites de la génération de vos parents, commencez donc par faire le ménage dans votre propre chambre et tout ce qui s'y trouve.
Règle 8 : Votre école s'est peut-être débarrassé du système « gagnant-perdant », PAS LA VIE ! Dans certaines écoles, on a aboli les notes de passage et on vous donne autant de chances que vous voulez pour obtenir la bonne réponse. Ceci n'existe pas dans la vraie vie !
Règle 9 : La vie n'est pas divisée en semestres. L'été n'est pas une période de congé. Et très peu d'employeurs sont disposés à vous aider à VOUS ASSUMER, c'est votre responsabilité.
Règle 10 : La télévision n'est pas la «vraie vie». Dans la vraie vie, les gens quittent le café et vont travailler.

Règle 11 : Ne vous moquez pas trop des «nerds» autour de vous, vous travaillerez probablement pour l'un d'entre eux un jour.

What makes you beautiful

You're insecure
Don't know what for
You're turning heads when you walk through the door
Don't need make-up
To cover up
Being the way that you are is enough
Everyone else in the room can see it
Everyone else but you

Baby you light up my world like nobody else
The way that you flip your hair gets me overwhelmed
But when you smile at the ground it ain't hard to tell
You don't know
You don't know you're beautiful

If only you saw what I can see
You'd understand why I want you so desperately
Right now I'm looking at you and I can't believe
You don't know
You don't know you're beautiful
That's what makes you beautiful

So come on
You got it wrong
To prove I'm right
I put it in a song
I don't know why
You're being shy
And turn away when I look into your eyes
Everyone else in the room can see it
Everyone else but you

You don't know
You don't know you're beautiful

That's what makes you beautiful

The butterfly story

A man found a cocoon of a butterfly. One day a small opening appeared. He sat and watched the butterfly for several hours as it struggled to squeeze its body through the tiny hole. Then it stopped, as if it couldn’t go further.

So the man decided to help the butterfly. He took a pair of scissors and snipped off the remaining bits of cocoon. The butterfly emerged easily but it had a swollen body and shriveled wings.

The man continued to watch it, expecting that any minute the wings would enlarge and expand enough to support the body, Neither happened! In fact the butterfly spent the rest of its life crawling around. It was never able to fly.

What the man in his kindness and haste did not understand: The restricting cocoon and the struggle required by the butterfly to get through the opening was a way of forcing the fluid from the body into the wings so that it would be ready for flight once that was achieved.

Sometimes struggles are exactly what we need in our lives. Going through life with no obstacles would cripple us. We will not be as strong as we could have been and we would never fly.
