Unique

     No one is, has been, or ever will be exactly like you.  No one has had your same life experiences or has your same perspective.  Carefully forming your opinions and sharing them is a gift to others and yourself.
     Some people may agree with you; some may disagree.  In some instances, more will disagree than agree.  Your opinions still have value.
     Be courageous sharing your thoughts.  Continue to consider other points of view, and when necessary, change and evolve your opinions.  Risk judgment and criticism.  Don't be defeated, but try and understand.  This will only improve your thinking.
     Experts may know more about a topic than you do or have a more powerful voice, but you are unique.  Communicate, speak, write.
     Just as Mr. Rogers sang, "There's only one in this wonderful world.  You are special."
