Fantastic collection! What a way to end my work week! And that quote by Oprah… 100% agreed! The secret to successful life is being contented and happy with whatever you have. Wanting more will just keep you frustrated, will make you a loser!
So many tips on how to get people to like you. To me, it’s simply being true. Don’t pretend to be someone you’re not…
Agree!!! I’d rather be hated for showing people who I really am rather than be liked because I’ve shown them someone I’m not.
Oh no! I’m hard to be liked!!! I’m the type who speaks what’s on my mind, and I’m finding it hard to keep quiet and just process things on my mind…
Great collection, BTW! I was just bothered by that one…
Now I can explore and love the Upper East Side. Thanks for sharing! Would want to explore, discover more and enjoy my new place.
This lady is a freaking rockstar! She is so beautiful inside and out and wears her battle wounds from life proudly. I hope that one day day I can be a mother like her. She seems so fearless. Thank you for sharing this inspiring video.
I love this new format. Perfect for my ADD! And all really useful. So hard to find useful stuff these days, most sites are filled with useless information. Particularly liked the piece on FBI hacks to help you get others to like you. Thanks for all the great content!!
That video is inspiring. If she can be happy with her body, then anyone can be. It’s all about your mind. I hope I can be more and more like that as I concentrate on positive thinking habits.
I agree! Contentment is the key to a positive life!
I’m amazed that they put the whole MET collection online. Wouldn’t there be copyright issues or something? I wonder how many people are selling unauthorized t-shirts with masters art on them now? :/
I have the same concern — copyright issues. I appreciate arts and I’m astounded that MET’s collection are online!
Those photos are too tiny to be printed for commercial use. If you want to print a 12 x 9 inches piece at 300 dpi, you will need a digital file that measures 3600 pixels by 2700 pixels. The photos in their digital collection hardly meet the quarter size of that. So no worries about the copyright issues my friends. 🙂
Great quote! I love Oprah 🙂
I love the article about the perfect spouse life hack. There’s so much negativity spread about settling down (“ball and chain” crap)… I think it’s spread by the single male friends of men who are settling down because they A) don’t want to lose a wingman/drinking buddy, and B) don’t want to be the only lonely one/alone. Either way, it’s bullsh*t.
