Just Believe in Yourself
August 7, 2008 
I read a book called ‘Shirley’s bad hair day’. Shirley is a small girl and she is worried about her hair. She checks all of the hair styles but nothing suits her, so then she decides to change her hair back to normal. So the moral of the story is ‘don’t think you are not looking beautiful just beleive in yourself.
I beleived this more when I saw the movie Kungfu Panda.There was a Panda called Poh! he was very fat and plump and he did not like himself. So everyone did not like him either. But he always dreamt of becoming a kungfu warrior. One day there was a ceremony to pick the dragon warrior and was in the Jai palace. His father had a noodle shop and he asked Poh to sell noodles at the ceremony. Poh could not reach the palace because there were too many steps and it was on a mountain plus he had to carry a cart. But he landed in the ceremony somehow and got chosen as the dragon worrier. The true dragon warrior was given an award that gave all the secrets of the universe. When Poh! opened it there was nothing written on it and he could only see himself on the paper. The moral of the story is, you are your secret and you should just beleive in yourself.
August 8th is my birthday and I beleive that I will have a great birthday. I beleive in myself.

Dear Shreya,
It is a very nice article and I loved reading it. It is so true. I am proud of you that you are able to think so much & to have an interest in letting people know of your beliefs.
I love quotes & some of the quotes that I love relating to “believing in yourself” are below. Hope you enjoy them.
Anyone can give up, it’s the easiest thing in the world to do. But to hold it together when everyone else would understand if you fell apart, that’s true strength.
“Man often becomes what he believes himself to be. If I keep on saying to myself that I cannot do a certain thing, it is possible that I may end by really becoming incapable of doing it. On the contrary, if I have the belief that I can do it, I shall surely acquire the capacity to do it even if I may not have it at the beginning.”
- Mahatma Gandhi
The greatest inspiration is often born of desperation.
- Comer Cotrell
You must be the change
you wish to see in the world.
-Mahatma Gandhi
Each person comes into this world with a specific destiny–he has something to fulfill, some message has to be delivered, some work has to be completed. You are not here accidentally–you are here meaningfully. There is a purpose behind you. The whole intends to do something through you.
-Osho
A ship is safe in harbor– but that’s not what ships are for.
-John A. Shedd
You see things; and you say ‘Why?’; But I dream things that never were; and I say ‘Why not?’
-George Bernard Shaw

If you see Hindi movies, and in case you have seen Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, the little girl in that celebrates her 8th birthday and she’s told “You have become a big girl today”!! So though 8 years is still a small age, I would still say “You have become a big girl today”!!
And what a lovely day/date to turn 8 years old…on the 8th of 8th month of 2008…very few would get that combination this perfect!! Have a wonderful life dear…make your parents proud!!
Love, Sree
