L'optimisme, ce n'est pas le refus de voir ce qui ne va pas, c'est le désir de ne pas s'y attarder. // Donne moi le courage de changer les choses que je peux changer, la sérénité d'accepter celles que je ne peux pas changer, et la sagesse de distinguer entre les deux. (Marc Aurèle) // Don't raise your voice; improve your argument. (Desmond Tutu) // Be the change you want to see in the world. (Gandhi)

Let them make you.

8.3.15


I choose...
to live by choice, not by chance,
to be motivated, not manipulated, 
to be useful, not used, 
to make changes, not excuses, 
to excel, not compete. 
I choose self-esteem, not self pity
I choose my inner voice,
not the random opinions of others. 
(Unknown)

Benjamin Clementine le 6 mars 2015 au Splendid de Lille.
Une voix exceptionnelle. Un talent manifeste.
Un final sur Emmenez-moi d'Aznavour avec des paroles avalées mais une grande maîtrise et une salle conquise.  


Extrait de la chanson Cornerstone
I am alone in a box of stone
When all is said and done
As the wind blows to the east from the west
Unto this bed, my tears have their solemn rest

I am lonely, alone in a box of stone
They claim they loved me but they all lieing
I am lonely alone in a box of my own
And this is the place, I now belong

...

Don't be pushed by your problems.
