If You Give, You Begin To Live

You Might Die Trying - Dave Matthews Band
To change the world
Start with one step
And however small
First step is hardest of all
Once you get your gait
You'll be walking tall
You said you never did
Because you might die tryingIf you give, you begin to live
You begin
You get the world

I Can Only Love Someone
Well I can only love someone I am just a person. Yes I'm only something, and I can only love someone.
Battle Of Someone - Blues Traveler
Well I can only love someone I am just a person
My father loved my mother and I am her son
The preceding verses are the halves of my soul
I'm just the battlefield and that is my role
There's a tug of war between what I can and can't feel
The inevitable compromise determines the real
The equation the reason for my being here
The struggle resulting in my invention of the tearFor I'm only something
Yes I'm only something
Yes I'm only something
And I can only love someone

If They Ask You To Stand
If they ask you to stand, well they just want you to kneel.
Now I am a young man I see cracks in the steel
If they ask you to stand, well they just want you to kneel
If you don't know what you want then you just have to take it allHey man, you gotta understand
I got the world in my two hands
Hey man, never goin' back, never going backCome on come on
I don't need anyone
To tell me what to believeCome on come on
Shout it out everyone
You can't tell me what to believe
He That Is Down
He that is down needs fear no fall. He that is low, no pride.
He That Is Down Needs Fear No Fall - Hymnary
He that is down needs fear no fall;
He that is low, no pride;
He that is humble ever shall
Have God to be his guide.I am content with what I have,
Little be it or much;
And, Lord, contentment still I crave,
Because thou savest such.Fulness to such a burden is
That go on pilgrimage;
Here little, and hereafter bliss,
Is best from age to age.
Remember The Pygmalion Effect
Remember that you can positively influence other people's lives by telling them you believe in them, you think they are a good person, they possess good qualities, and you expect they will perform well because they have the ability to do so.
The Pygmalion effect is a psychological phenomenon in which high expectations lead to improved performance in a given area and low expectations lead to worse. It is named after the Greek myth of Pygmalion, the sculptor who fell so much in love with the perfectly beautiful statue he created that the statue came to life. According to the Pygmalion effect, the targets of the expectations internalize their positive labels, and those with positive labels succeed accordingly; a similar process works in the opposite direction in the case of low expectations. The idea behind the Pygmalion effect is that increasing the leader's expectation of the follower's performance will result in better follower performance. Within sociology, the effect is often cited with regard to education and social class.
Remember The Self Fulfilling Prophecy
Remember that your beliefs and thoughts influence your mind and your life, so any expectations you have about your self, your character, your abilities, your goals, and your dreams can and often will come true if you believe they will.
Self-fulfilling prophecy - Wikipedia
A self-fulfilling prophecy is a prediction that comes true at least in part as a result of a person's belief or expectation that said prediction would come true. In the phenomena, people tend to act the way they have been expected to making the expectations come true. Self-fulfilling prophecies are an example of the more general phenomenon of positive feedback loops. A self-fulfilling prophecy can have either negative or positive outcomes. Merely applying a label to someone or something can affect the perception of the person/thing and create a self-fulfilling prophecy.
