You can spot an elephant in the distance by its long trunk. Same for a racist. You can spot one by its long tongue.

Don't think too high or too low of yourself. Be confident but not arrogant, be humble but not ignorant, cherish others but don't be a sycophant. There are one million and one things an ant can do that an elephant cannot dare and vice versa. We are all important and significant.

Ladies! I encourage you NOT to be so easily flattered by what a man has. Be flattered by his strength, courage, integrity, and character as a man. Be impressed by his ability to be honest, faithful, loving, and respectful to you. Be impressed because he can communicate and openly express his feelings. Be impressed because he’s got confidence, direction, and purpose in his life. Be impressed because he’s a quality man, NOT a fine man. Real Talk! - Stephanie Lahart
