daily video: the girl effect

women. what does it take for us to be strong? society tells us we're weak and that we need men. but mostly, we need ourselves. we need to have a voice, to discover our own strength, and to take courage with action that we can only do ourselves.

this video here is a little bit self righteous and smells of the bay area (love you guys). but i like the end part. It says:

"Invest in a girl and she will do the rest."

how true! all the ladies need are people who will invest in them and let them do the rest.

Here is a great post on investing in your self.
And I'm reading this. J.K. Rowling speaks at Harvard about the fear of failure and actually failing. Need that one.
