Coach Carter

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. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you.

We are all meant to shine as children do. It's not just in some of us; it is in everyone. And as we let our own lights shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.

Lego 2

Alot of times, Beeto wishes it was different; Beeto wishes it was special.

In most of the structures, it always gets fixed at the bottom near the foundation in the middle of all the other pieces such that from the outset it can't be seen.

Beeto doesn't like that. He feels so unnoticed.

It doesn't help that his links are loose, so it falls away from other pieces very easily and quickly. It doesn't know why; even when Roa the Greenpiece, and Chobu the big Bluepiece try to hold Beeto close it still can't keep sticky.

Sometimes Beeto wishes it was Roa. Roa always gets to be at the top of the structure due to it's striking colour and appeal. Roa is everything a lego piece would like to be; Beeto is the opposite.

An to top it all off, Beeto is scared.

Beeto got into alot of trouble lately, forgetting to pick up after itself and put things back where they belong. Beeto got caught for that, and it's very likely that it will have to be left by itself all night.

Beeto doesn't like that.

Beeto wishes like crazy that did not happen but sometimes circumstances are just too unlucky.

Oh no, how Beeto wishes it would just get this hard time done with and move to a new place soon.

Poor Beeto. If you see it, give it a smile.

Lego

Beeto is a piece of lego.

It's is a yellow, rectangular regular 8-link form in a large box filled with other pieces.

Beeto isn't really special, perhaps the only thing that will make you notice it is it's slight chip at the corner, but that's only if you look really really closely.

It doesn't really have any other purpose but to be a part of a bigger structure.

By itself, it's just another piece that can't do much, maybe act as a dead-weight in a room with absolutely no wind.

That's kind of sad. It's so lonely. But it's not supposed to be, cause it's yellow. It's supposed to be happy.

But it isn't.

It wishes so much to be joined to another piece but it can't, because it hasn't been moved to join.

Technically, it's edges are in touch with many others but when everything is spilled out onto the floor, it's by it's solitairy self again.

Poor Beeto.
