Things in life's blueprint: ― Martin Luther King Jr.

We can be somebody. It is up to us. I must be measured by my soul. Mind is the standard of man. 

1) Deep belief in your dignity, worth, feel that you count, you have worth. Don't feel discriminated. Black but beautiful, short but smart, 

2) Determination to achieve excellence, in your various fields of endeavors. Doors of opportunity are opening to each of you. Our challenge is to be ready, as they open. 

3) Commitment to the eternal principles of beauty, love and justice. Don't allow anybody to pull you so low as to hate them, you stop struggling for justice, you have a responsibility to make life better for everyone. 

“If a man is called to be a street sweeper, he should sweep streets even as a Michelangelo painted, or Beethoven composed music or Shakespeare wrote poetry. He should sweep streets so well that all the hosts of heaven and earth will pause to say, 'Here lived a great street sweeper who did his job well.” 

Build and not burn, Earn to learn. Let us go the dream of selfhood, good will and brotherhood, let no one stop us. 

Keep moving, fly, run, walk, crawl - but keep moving.
