If You Want To Create A Long-Lasting Impression, Be Truly Original

Being original is a trait that has gone through its share of ups and downs many times. So what exactly does being original mean? In my opinion, being original is when a person stays true to him or herself under the extremest circumstances. Being original refers to a person's unshakeable self-confidence when it comes to expressing their talents and interests.

For instance, there is no benefit in mimicking another person when it comes to their body language, behavior, voice, or even appearance. This type of mimicry will just end up showcasing your cowardice and how scared you really are in further revamping yourself. You wouldn't want to not effectively use your innate creative license just for the sake of showing-off! In other words, everyone should begin introducing their ideas, talents, and interests from a slightly unique angle. We wouldn't want to be part of a world that is more similar than diverse!

Currently, the world is lacking the taste of originality because most people are more inclined towards remodeling the actions of others. In pop culture, many music videos are now remixes taking and remodeling the lyrics and background score from a former popular musical composition. This is something that further adds to the fact that we are all attracted to the works of others becoming more appealing as opposed to working diligently towards bringing out the best in us. We are the future and the world will benefit magnificently from what we attribute thus increasing the amount of vibrant diversity in the world. When you drift away from portraying yourself in the truest light possible, you are actually disrespecting yourself and your talents. Strive to impress the world with your personality in order to create that larger than life first impression.

This will come in handy when you are preparing for the potential job interviews which could ultimately pave the gateway towards your dream job. Let's be real, you wouldn't want to miss out on awesome job opportunities just because you couldn't showcase your eye-catching personality. Indeed, being true and original takes you way far in life than you may ever expect.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
