Re: not a health related question?

I completely agree fledgling. To me the term means old fashioned, which is relative and really shouldn't be seen in a bad light. We are all what we perceive ourselves to be. I am a 40 year old male and when I was in my late teens and early twenties I went on a number of mountaineering expeditions in Alaska and British Columbia. One of them was up Denali, which is over 20,000 feet tall. They were all very physical, and I can say that for the most part a persons worth on these trips was not correlated to their size, which is hard to believe. I have seen 5 foot four women out compete 6 foot males. If you believe you can succeed, then you will. If you don't, then you won't. If you believe you are beautiful, then you are. If you don't, then you aren't, no matter how many people tell you that you are. One only has to look at all of the models that have died through extreme measures (dieting, leaking sillicone, weird cosmetic surgery, mental anguish etc.) to know that unless you believe in yourself, no matter what anyone else thinks, you will never succeed.
