My Focus Has Kind Of Been On

The Average Teen Today Spends About 35 Hours A Week In Front Of A Screen Of Some Kind: Ipod, Movie, Tv, Video. And A Lot Of It Is Good, But A Lot Of It's Not. And So I Think You've Got That Five Hours A Day Of Media Coming Into Your Kid's Head That's Creating A Lot Of Havoc Out There.

Being Gentle Means Forgiving Yourself When You Mess Up. We Should Learn From Our Mistakes, But We Shouldn't Beat The Tar Out Of Ourselves Over Them. The Past Is Just That, Past. Learn What Went Wrong And Why. Make Amends If You Need To. Then Drop It And Move On.

Instead Of Trying To Blend In And Be Like Everyone Else, Be Proud Of And Celebrate Your Unique Differences And Qualities. A Fruit Salad Is Delicious Precisely Because Each Fruit Maintains Its Own Flavor.

If You Decide To Just Go With The Flow, You'll End Up Where The Flow Goes, Which Is Usually Downhill, Often Leading To A Big Pile Of Sludge And A Life Of Unhappiness. You'll End Up Doing What Everyone Else Is Doing.
