This is something my year 6 teacher gave me when we left primary school. I think its just about the most truthful and important advice if ever been given, so I thought I'd share it with you guys :)
On Being Yourself
You must learn that you cannot be loved by all people.
You can be the finest apple in the world - ripe, juicy, sweet, succulent, and offer yourself to all.
But you must remember that there will be people who do not like apples.
You must understand that if you are the worlds finest apple, and someone you love does not like apples, you have the choice of becoming a banana.
But you must be warned that if you choose to become a banana, you will be a second-rate banana.
But you will always be the finest apple.
You must also realise that if you choose to be a second-rate banana, there will be people who do not like bananas.
Furthermore, you can spend your life trying to become the best banana - which is impossible if you are an apple - or you can seek again to be the finest apple.
I adore this saying, or whatever you'd call it. And I hope you can take as much meaning from it as I have these past years ^.^
