Calling me FAKE won't make you REAL.

Calling me DUMB won't make you SMART.

Calling me WEAK won't make you STRONG.

Calling me UGLY won't make you BEAUTIFUL.

Calling me MEAN won't make you NICE.

Calling me GAY won't make you STRAIGHT.

Calling me RUDE won't make you POLITE.

Calling me a FAILURE won't make me QUIT TRYING!!
ayana24680 from youtube made a comment like this on one of Jessie J old videos before she cut her first album[link] and this just sounded like words many people need to say to themseleves to keep going and not give up on their dreams!

I only changes the word "her" to me and add the last line, just to be clear!!

Keep Striving people!!
