2 to go!

Something to share with the world. I got this from my 6th grade Geography teacher and just re-found it today while cleaning.

You're special. In all the world there is nobody like you. Since the beginning of time, there has never been another person like you. Nobody has your smile. Nobody has your eyes, your nose, your hair, your hands, your voice, your talent. You're special.

No one sees things just as you do. In all of time there has been no one who laughs like you, no one who cries like you. And what makes you laugh and cry will never provoke identical laughter and tears from anybody else, ever.

You are the only one in creation with your set of natural abilities. There will always be somebody who is better at one of the things you are good at, but no one in the universe can reach the quality of your combination of talents, ideas, natural abilities and spiritual abilities.

Through all of eternity, no one will ever look, talk, walk, play, think or do things exactly like you. You're special. You're rare. And, as in all rarity, there is great value. Because of your great rare value you need not attempt to imitate others. You should accept- yes, celebrate- your differences. You're special. Continue to realize it's not an accident that you're special. Continue to see that you were created for a very special purpose, one that no one else can complete as well as you. Out of all the billion of applicants, only one is qualified, only one has the best combination of what it takes. Just as surely as every snowflake that falls has a perfect design and no two designs are the same, you are different and very, very special.

Puts things into perspective, doesn't it? I like it. I think you're special, too. :D
