.....are kids still taught to write in Script at school? We called it Cursive and I think it is so elegant and distinguished but did you know that there are different types of Cursive handwriting?
HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!. I am dying of laughter at the number of hits I received for this contest compared to the number of people who answered... Was it that hard? Come on guys!!!!
Anyhow, now to the answer and the results...
After viewing Oprah's Friday episode with Chris Rock, he mentioned something that stunned me... I have always thought of this guy as a genius at his craft.. Despite his potty mouth, he is quick, witty and extremely intelligent with his content.. He makes you think of things outside the box and of course it helps that he makes the funniest faces... This made me want to know how many more famous, brilliant people accomplished the same thing, so I did some research and was surprised... What was it?
They all received their GED!!!!!
....although I mentioned that the contest would be voided if less than 50 people participated? I thought that I would give the prize to the ONE AND ONLY person who was brave enough to answer... hahahahaha
....I think of them as pressing the pause button while listening to song you love because of the beat, to research the lyrics, then pressing play, now reading the lyrics along with the song.... It is then that you truly discover whether the song has more substance than just the beat. The next time you listen to that song the emotion you once had may either change or perhaps remain the same...
Sometimes we think most intellects have gone through the traditional path to arrive where we think are their pinnacles of success... but as much as there has been a debate between the mind and the brain, I personally believe that the mind is like the family member who isn't invited to brain's Thanksgiving dinner in Beverly Hills but instead, is sent a bowl of the left overs to him in the slums of California, unbeknownced to the rest of the family. The family secret is the "mind" was able to purchase the house for the "brain" in Beverly Hills while sacrificing itself and remaining in the slums..
Ever so often we do not press the pause button to give our minds the opportunity to help us achieve the goals that we so desperately want to attain. We do not have confidence in ourselves because our "brain" isn't working at the same speed as everyone else or our "hiccups" seem beyond the unexplained..... AND the reason many people insult our intelligence.....(pause, one eye brow raised)... is because they have a perception of us only through what they view on the outside.. The question is are we on the path towards taking steps to simply shock the hell out of them but most importantly, are we working on our self confidence where we are willing to shock OURSELVES.....
Here are a couple successful celebrities who truly allowed their minds to take power over their brains.....
