CHERYL

Watched this video last Sunday and I thought it was a really good speech. Sharing because I think you should watch it too. :)

"What's in your hand?" What do you have that you've been given? Talent, background, education,freedom, networks, opportunities, wealth, ideas, creativity. What are you doing with what you've been given? That, to me, is the primary question about life. That, to me, is what being purpose-driven is all about. In the book, I talk about how you're wired to do certain things, you're "SHAPED" with -- a little acrostic: Spiritual gifts, Heart, Ability, Personality and Experiences. These things shape you. And if you want to know what you ought to be doing with your life, you need to look at your shape -- "What am I wired to do?" Why would God wire you to do something and then not have you do it? If you're wired to be an anthropologist, you'll be an anthropologist. If you're wired to be an undersea explorer, you'll be an undersea explorer. If you're wired to make deals, you make deals. If you're wired to paint, you paint.So my advice to you is: look at what's in your hand -- your identity, your influence, your income -- and say, "It's not about me. It's about making the world a better place."

Have a good friday night everyone, do remember to recharge during the weekends. x 

so today my english teacher showed us a video in class. a speech, from an inspirational speaker.


you guys probably know her already; she's labelled as the "world's ugliest woman".

i felt that it was something worth sharing, so here it is!


here is the link to the video of the speech she gave - "how do YOU define yourself?"

 and from the video, i've picked up some extracts & i'm going to share with you guys.
well there might be few errors here and there because i typed these extracts out myself (yes, listening to the video, pausing, typing and then listening again).

and these are my favourites.

you are the one who is going to define who you are.

ask yourself, what defines you?
