    'Once upon a time' isn't always the best basis for making an argument against progress.

    When someone is sure about something and has believed it for many many years,
    then you cannot convince them with a few cleverly picked words.
    Everyone is closed minded about something, including me.
    They have to discover it themselves over time or just continue believing what they do.
    Don’t take responsibility for convincing the world you are right.
    It’s important to acknowledge that maybe you are actually the wrong one.

    ...where others might slide in and be allowed to be ordinary,
    those of us who come in pre-judged are forced to make ourselves extraordinary.
    Take it as a challenge, and break the mold so [those] who come after you
    might not have to fight quite so hard to be accepted in the future.
    *sizing, italics and colour was altered by me for effect
    Original Quote:
    And that is the female engineer's silver lining (as it is for anyone coming into a profession as a minority, be it your ethnicity, gender, or just the college you came from): where others might slide in and be allowed to be ordinary, those of us who come in pre-judged are forced to make ourselves extraordinary. Take it as a challenge, and break the mold so the women who come after you might not have to fight quite so hard to be accepted in the future.

    "People are in therapy because of others who should have been."
    ~ a comment I found online. And how true I find it to be.
    Stop cycles of abuse. Choose to react differently. Refuse to repeat the ugly behaviours you hate. Act out of love. Or, as a wise man once said,
    "We need to be the change we wish to see in the world"
    ~Mahatma Gandhi
    This needs to happen. Things will not and can not change for the better unless we do.

    So, I guess we are who we are for a lot of reasons. And maybe we'll never know most of them. But even if we don't have the power to choose where we come from, we can still choose where we go from there. We can still do things. And we can try to feel okay about them.
    ~ The Perks of Being a Wallflower

    You should pray for a healthy mind in a healthy body. Ask for a stout heart that has no fear of death, and deems length of days the least of Nature's gifts that can endure any kind of toil,that knows neither wrath nor desire and thinks the woes and hard labors of Hercules better than the loves and banquets and downy cushions of Sardanapalus. What I commend to you, you can give to yourself; For assuredly, the only road to a life of peace is virtue.
    ~ Satire X: Wrong Desire is the Source of Suffering, Juvenal
    ______________
    Mens sana in corpore sano
    (often translated as)
    A sound mind in a healthy body

    Now, where you sit in the cafeteria is crucial because you've got everybody there. You've got your Hufflepuffs, Ravenclaws, Gryffindors, the greatest people you will ever meet... and the worst.
    Beware of the Slytherins.

    I’m going to be honest. It was really hard for me to look in the mirror and accept who I was. I know you’ve heard time and time again people saying, “Be proud of who you are. Be yourself.” But you’re probably thinking, “Why am I going to be myself if I’m just going to be made fun of?”
    I know the feeling. It made me feel so alone and so vulnerable, like things were never going to get better. I’m sure many of you can relate to that. But listen to this, and let it sink in. You are not alone.
    You want to know my little secret to get through the negativity and bullying? I set the bar higher and higher for myself and I make goals and I do whatever I can to reach them and if that includes being bullied along the way, then you know what? I'll fight that much harder. But take action - don't let these bullies see they're winning, don't let them feel like they have the upper hand...I mean taking action by waking up in the morning and telling yourself: "today's going to be a good day" and be happy. Continue to live your life and set your goals and set the bar higher for yourself to make your life better.
    ~ Lizzie Velasquez, It Gets Better: Lizzie Velasquez, YouTube Channel: Lizzie Velasquez
    Just a bit about Lizzie,"Lizzie was trying to live a normal life until one day when she was surfing videos on Youtube and saw a video titled as ‘Worlds Ugliest Women’ the moment she opened it she realized the video contained her own picture.the video had a million views and was commented by thousands and thousands which were all negative and mostly advised her to kill her self. Her being voted as World’s Ugliest Women by people “hiding behind their computer screens” broke her heart badly.the girl cried and cried and later according to her she wanted to sit on computer and answer back each and everyone who had voted her the World’s Ugliest Women without actually knowing her but then the idea hit her that in that case she will be going down to the low level of people that were bullying her sitting behind their computers." -http://mishakhanpk.wordpress.com/
