I live in Los Angeles and it seems that a lot of girls here have low self-esteem and/or gold diggers. My neighbor is a writer and I found this on her blog and just thought it was brilliant.

"It is one of the strange ironies of this strange life that those who work the hardest, who subject themselves to the strictest discipline, who give up certain pleasurable things in order to achieve a goal, are the happiest men. When you see 20 or 30 men line up for a distance race in some meet, don't pity them, don't feel sorry for them. Better envy them instead."
Brutus Hamilton

"You don't have to choose what you want to be great at... You can be great at everything you choose!"
Written in 2008 by Pamela Messenger --- Texas
I believe that people often limit themselves at achievement by feeling that they have to pick and choose what they want to be great at. Great leaders and teams don't limit themselves. They make conscious decisions to be great at every challenge they are presented with.
