A lot of people say I'm bent, and I've heard it so many times that I've almost learned to accept it.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Bending over backwards does not bring you the love and attention you crave, but having your own life, your own goals and a backbone will.
I think everybody has a bent, and the key is to follow that bent. So much human wastage comes from people who are doing things with their lives that they really aren't happy with.
Everything starts with yourself, with you making up your mind about what you're going to do with your life. I tell kids that it's a cruel world, and that the world will bend them either left or right, and it's up to them to decide which way to bend.
Never bend your head. Always hold it high. Look the world straight in the eye.
If it bends, it's funny; if it breaks, it's not funny.
I feel like it's always about embracing what it is that you think is wrong with you. It's often times your greatest 'flaw' which actually forays into what is also your greatest strength.
Sometimes, whether you like it or not, people elevate you. It's real easy to fall.
Have you noticed that whatever sport you're trying to learn, some earnest person is always telling you to keep your knees bent?
I have asked myself once or twice lately what was my natural bent. I have no doubt at all: It is to look at each day for the evil of that day and have a go at it, and that is why I have never failed to have an acute interest in each morning's letters.
At my age, I only travel business class because I just don't bend anymore; my body can't cope with it.
