Daily Dose: Positive Thinking

One doesn't have to be concerned or bothered by the thoughts of those that cannot hurt them or do not affect them. Don't let people talking about you negatively affect you.

The tiger represents the fierce and willful person you are while the "sheep" are those who may be mindlessly following and emulating anything that is cool at the time because "everyoe else is doing it" or simply "HATERS" as we like to call them.

Remember this statement in order to empower you to stay true to yourself and refrain from being easily influenced and persuaded, especially based on the opinions of others.View yourself as too important to care about the opinions of those are are thoughtless, and therefore less important

Who's that Girl? Sloane Stephens: The Teenage Star Who Beat Serena Williams

Sloane Stephens recently defeated one of the greatest players to lace up tennis shoes, Serena Williams, a tennis player whose poster once adorned Stephens' bedroom wall.

The 19-year-old can now say she is the only American younger than Williams to beat the 31-year-old. Stephens, with a giant white smile from ear to ear, won 3-6, 7-5, 6-4 against Williams in the Australian Open quarterfinals last Wednesday.

Off the court, Stephens, originally of Plantation, Fla., but now living in Bel Air, Calif., is a typical teenager. She texts, she tweets, she loves spending time with friends, and she has a serious shopping addiction.

"I said I was going to buy one thing but now I'm going to buy two," she said in an interview just after the big win. "I was begging my mom for these pair of shoes, but I'm sure she'll have them waiting when I get home -- so I have to think of something quick so I can tell her, so she can have it when I get home."

Stephens told ESPN she had 145 text messages after her win. She added she hoped the win would get her more Twitter followers. Her followers shot from 17,000 before the competition to 46,300 and counting.

"It makes me feel like now you are telling me it's my fault, it's God's fault the way he made her."

Jackson told KTVI. "[The school should] talk with the kids, let them know, you know, people's bodies are changing, everybody's body is different but God made us all great."
