well it's cold outside and the lights are low

Don't be surprised if i'm walking and you suddenly hear me sing.. "I wanna be the 12 days wrapped in 1
I wanna be your drummer boy, burrum bum bum bum
I wanna be the eggnog in your rum." Yes, I do find it odd to be singing that I wanna be someone's drummer boy but drummer girl just doesn't work. trust me, i tried it. But no, it just isn't the same.
I recently started listening to my ipod again. I'm serious, I think it makes me at least 50% happier listening to happy christmas music.
Now, here's some encouragement for the day.
I know sometimes I feel like giving up too, but the successful ones are the one that confronted adversity and never gave up. Here are some examples:

Albert Einstein did not speak until he was 4-years-old and did not read until he was 7. His parents thought he was "sub-normal," and one of his teachers described him as "mentally slow, unsociable, and adrift forever in foolish dreams." He was expelled from school and was refused admittance to the Zurich Polytechnic School. He did eventually learn to speak and read. Even to do a little math.

Walt Disney was fired by a newspaper editor because "he lacked imagination and had no good ideas." He went bankrupt several times before he built Disneyland. In fact, the proposed park was rejected by the city of Anaheim on the grounds that it would only attract riffraff.

Beethoven handled the violin awkwardly and preferred playing his own compositions instead of improving his technique. His teacher called him "hopeless as a composer." And, of course, you know that he wrote five of his greatest symphonies while completely deaf.

Thomas Edison's teachers said he was "too stupid to learn anything." He was fired from his first two jobs for being "non-productive." As an inventor, Edison made 1,000 unsuccessful attempts at inventing the light bulb. When a reporter asked, "How did it feel to fail 1,000 times?" Edison replied, "I didn’t fail 1,000 times. The light bulb was an invention with 1,000 steps."

A million people can tell you that you're not good enough. Only one person's opinion matters-your own.
