I'm selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out

of control and at times hard to handle. But if you can't handle me at
my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best.

This life is what you make it. No matter what, you're going to mess up
sometimes, it's a universal truth. But the good part is you get to decide
how you're going to mess it up. Girls will be your friends - they'll act
like it anyway. But just remember, some come, some go. The ones that
stay with you through everything - they're your true best friends. Don't
let go of them. Also remember, sisters make the best friends in the
world. As for lovers, well, they'll come and go too. And baby, I hate to
say it, most of them - actually pretty much all of them are going to
break your heart, but you can't give up because if you give up, you'll
never find your soulmate. You'll never find that half who makes you
whole and that goes for everything. Just because you fail once, doesn't
mean you're gonna fail at everything. Keep trying, hold on, and always,
always, always believe in yourself, because if you don't, then who will,
sweetie? So keep your head high, keep your chin up, and most
importantly, keep smiling, because life's a beautiful thing and there's

so much to smile about.

He has achieved success who has lived well, laughed often, and loved
much;
Who has enjoyed the trust of pure women, the respect of intelligent
men and the love of little children;
Who has filled his niche and accomplished his task;
Who has never lacked appreciation of Earth's beauty or failed to
express it;
Who has left the world better than he found it,
Whether an improved poppy, a perfect poem, or a rescued soul;
Who has always looked for the best in others and given them the best
he had;
Whose life was an inspiration;
Whose memory a benediction.

and Verse Dear to the American People And by them contributed as a
Supplement to the original $10,000 Prize Book HEART THROBS
