I think truly tough people are the ones who don't allow their enthusiasm, empathy, humour or sensitivity to be worn away by other people, or circumstances or the generally emotionally rough place that the world is. That also means you don't contribute to the cynicism of the world by blocking other people from expressing themselves (especially your kids). Sometimes it means stepping up and bumping back, when others bump you, and I find people are amazed at some of the things I won't allow them to say to me without getting a reaction. It means I make mistakes, but I tend to think if you aren't making mistakes, it might be a sign you aren't learning or prepared to learn by doing. The image of one bad apple spoiling the barrel is an apt one. Act to remove those bad thoughts (the ones that stop you getting on with life), be conscious of avoiding negative people who will end up making you feel negative- the negative ones tend to make up about 10% of the population so why let a minority ruin the fun for the rest of us (that's not aimed at anyone here- we are the little overachievers in my mind).

I'm afraid this is the only thing I feel qualified to teach. Mild language: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NJxYiIfr4WM
This feels like an assignment, are we gonna get marked for this?I'll have to get back to you on this.
Well, I'm afraid my knowledge of dancing is limited. I only know about historical dances, such as Branle Double, Sherewsbury Lasses and Estampie Real no. 5. Not exactly something you can use an ordinarly night out.As of modern dances, I'm clueless.

I think you already know what I'm talking about Ms. Sandy. I think you are very much alive.

Antares: How to be brave with cooking.
The logic of my previous statement goes something like this: if you have a positive view of people, you're liable to trust them/take their word for things/worry about disagreeing and it shall compromise your independence of thought when considering things.
