it bears repeating

It bears repeating…  

Some times you read where some one made a speech and it bears repeating.

Chris Pratt the actor … did one lately on the MTV awards…   He gave a very brave speech.. mixed it with humor … yet got the point across that some are scared to address.   It is a speech to the younger generation.  And thank you Chris for being brave enough to say it, for the next generation.   As some times I think they forget. Heck those who are older forget.. It is simple yet so worthy..  So here is Chris’s words…

 

"9 Rules from Chris Pratt" to the next generation.

1. "Breathe -- If you don't, you'll suffocate."

2. "You have a soul. Be careful with it."

3. "Don't be a turd. If you're strong be a protector and if you're smart be a humble influencer; strength and intelligence can be weapons, and do not wield them against the weak. That makes you a bully. Be bigger than that."

4. "When giving a dog medicine, put the medicine in a little piece of hamburger, they won't even know they're eating medicine."

5. "Doesn't matter what it is, earn it. A good dead, reach out to someone in pain, be of service, it feels good and it's good for your soul."

6. "God is real. God loves you. God wants the best for you. Believe that. I do."

7. "If you have to poop at a party, but you're embarrassed because you're gonna stink up the bathroom, do what I do: lock the door, sit down, get all the pee out first. Okay? And then, once all the pee's done, poop, flush, boom. You minimise the amount of time the poop is touching the air, because if you poop first, it takes you longer to pee and then you're peeing on top of it, stirring it up, the poop particles create a cloud, it goes out and then everyone in the party'll know that you pooped. Just trust me, it's science."

8. "Learn to pray. It's easy, and it's so good for your soul."

9. "Nobody is perfect. People are going to tell you you're perfect just the way you are, you're not. You are imperfect. You always will be. But there is a powerful force that designed you that way, and if you're willing to accept that, you will have grace. And grace is a gift. And like the freedom that we enjoy in this country that grace was paid for with somebody else's blood. Do not forget it. Don't take it for granted."
