just finished watching "akeelah and the bee"... it's simply inspiring and touching... i begin to appreciate the derivation of words and languages from the movie and i am especially inspired by this quote from the movie:

Our deepest fear is not that
we are inadequate
Our deepest fear is that we are
powerful beyond measure
We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant,
gorgeous, talented, and fabulous?
Actually, who are you not be?
We were born to make manifest the glory
of God that’s within us
And as we let our own light shine
We unconsciously give other people
permission to do the same.

The full quote:

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us.
We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous,
talented and fabulous.
Actually, who are you not to be?

You are a child of God.
Your playing small doesn't serve the world.
There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other
people won't feel insecure around you.

We were born to make manifest the glory of
God that is within us.
It's not just in some of us -- it's in everyone.

And as we let our own light shine,
we unconsciously give other people
permission to do the same.
As we are liberated from our own fear,
our presence automatically liberates others

-Marianne Williamson

my moment of inspiration:
don't let anyone or you belittle yourself...
be great for that is what you are made for! :D
