Attitude:
Attitude is a reflection of the person inside. And while the external circumstances in your life might go crazy from time to time, you can always chart your own path by grabbing onto a great attitude. Viktor Frankl, psychologist and survivor of the holocaust in World War II, observed the following: We who lived in concentration camps can remember the men who walked through the huts comforting others, giving away their last piece of bread. They may have been few in number, but they offer sufficient proof that everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedoms- to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one’s own way.

The Optimist Creed:
Promise Yourself:
- To be so strong that nothing can disturb your peace of mind.
- To talk health, happiness and prosperity to every person you meet.
- To make all your friends feel that there is something in them.
- To look at the sunny side of everything and make your optimism come true.
- To think only of the best, to work only for the best, and to expect only the best.
- To be just as enthusiastic about the success of others as you are about your own.
- To forget the mistakes of the past and press on to the greater achievements of the future.
- To wear a cheerful countenance at all times and give every living creature you meet a smile.
- To give so much time to the improvement of yourself that you have no time to criticize others.
- To be too large for worry, too noble for anger, too strong for fear, and too happy to permit the presence of trouble.

Conspiracy Theory #46: Tyra Banks is a cyborg programmed to destroy humanity.
To build on that theory, Lil’ Wayne and Anna Wintour clearly pilot a Mars-bound spaceship. Rachel Zoe is an honorary passenger, and that Emmy’s red carpet presenter is also on board.
Don’t ask how this theory came to be, but think about it. It’s so obviously true.

“The most important thing in life is your family. There are days you love them, and others you don’t. But, in the end, they’re the people you always come home to. Sometimes it’s the family you’re born into and sometimes it’s the one you make for yourself.”

Unemployment for the Young Reaches an Astonishing 52.2 Percent →
nypost.com
The unemployment rate for young Americans has exploded to 52.2 percent — a post-World War II high, according to the Labor Dept. — meaning millions of Americans are staring at the likelihood that their lifetime earning potential will be diminished and, combined with the predicted slow economic recovery, their transition into productive members of society could be put on hold for an extended period of time.
And worse, without a clear economic recovery plan aimed at creating entry-level jobs, the odds of many of these young adults — aged 16 to 24, excluding students — getting a job and moving out of their parents’ houses are long. Young workers have been among the hardest hit during the current recession — in which a total of 9.5 million jobs have been lost.
My “Wahhh, Fuck Grad School” moment is totally over now that I’ve read this. I’m almost glad that my Arts & Humanities degree will offer me so little employment opportunity that I’m basically required to go to school for 3 more years anyway.
