"No one can make you feel inferior without your consent"

[TZ]

Eleanor Roosevelt.
Someone sent me a link to E. Roosevelt quotes and I found this one very very true.:)

[Dr. Strange]

1. I totally agree.

:loveya:

[whistler162]

2. or Hector Elizondo....

[Gonzo Gardener]

3. Loves me some Eleanor Roosevelt!

:thumbsup: She was one strong and intelligent woman, eh TZ?










I really should have brought along a weenie to roast over the flames in here today! Wow!

[TZ]

4. Wow

Where did you find the picture of Dr. Strange...:)

[Gonzo Gardener]

5. He slipped it into my inbox. n/t

[Forkboy]

6. I've always felt that no one can define us but ourselves as well.

Eleanor and I are simpatico.

7. You can't let the bad guys win.

Reminds me of the Susan Boyle stuff I'm reading.

ps. She NEVER made the comment about the Marines being vulgar or the one about the Roosevelt rose "being good up against a wall but not in a bed." The director of the ER papers has no clue where those two originated.

8. That's also a great reason to stay out of GD and GD-P...

All the gloom and doom; those fuckers aren't getting one teardrop out of me with that shit.

Oh dear, did I swear? O8)

[TZ]

9. yeah

I made that mistake the other day...won't do that again soon..

10. That's why the Hello Kitty Girls Club

at work is funny and am able to laugh them off. I bake and decorate cakes because I enjoy it, not for an "ego boost." I feel sorry for her kids. :(

ETA: Except for the chronic whiner, THAT was truly annoying, but she got moved! :woohoo:

[TZ]

12. Hi!

I'm really sorry you have to deal with that shit at work. I am blessed with relatively mature coworkers...

[lizerdbits]

17. Well the plus side this past week

was getting to write the final report for one of our studies so I didn't spend much time with the kids. I'm going to let my supervisor know I'd like to do more of that if the PI is pleased with the results. Honestly if the economy was in better shape I'd probably be actively looking, but where I am I now I'm going to be employed for years so I'm trying to just deal with it for the sake of job security. I'm worried that it I go elsewhere I could be unemployed in 6 months.

11. Thank you for posting this. It lifts me up.

I feel inferior most of the time, lately. This quotation gives me some hope.

13. That's why bullies go nuts when ya stand up to them

:hi:

[Gormy Cuss]

14. Unless you're a child and have no other frame of reference.

It's also a hard lesson to unlearn if you believed it as a child.

I do agree with Roosevelt when it comes to adults in general.

[Captain Hilts]

15. She caught a lot of shit as a kid being so tall and all. Not to mention as an adult. nt

[Gormy Cuss]

16. I'm sure that helped her be strong, but there's worse shit thrown at children

in abusive households and her sage words may not resonate easily with children (or former children) who were raised to think of themselves as worthless or at least worth less. Only after they have had lots of support will the aphorism make sense.

[Captain Hilts]

18. She was verbally and probably sexually abused as a child, but, yes, it's MUCH

tougher for kids to deal with. Absolutely true. There were three locks on her bedroom door in the house she grew up in "to keep my uncles out."

But she's got some dap on the issue.
