The message is positive and encouraging. I dislike any media that especially emphasis on man’s high and woman’s breast. That is sizeism which is discrimination based on a person’s size.” Men are created equal “, whether it is true or not, people appreciate this intellect value. After all, this value distinguish us from animals’ society.

don’t make others juge yourself depending on the views of others. Present yourself to the wordl with your own point of view. dont force yourself to work it unnaturally cuz they can notice you later with time passing by.


they don’t catch your attraction right out of the gate…


they eventually know who you are

Dedication :


“All About That Bass” Lyric


Because you know
I’m all about that bass
‘Bout that bass, no treble
I’m all about that bass
‘Bout that bass, no treble
I’m all about that bass
‘Bout that bass, no treble
I’m all about that bass
‘Bout that bass

Yeah, it’s pretty clear, I ain’t no size two
But I can shake it, shake it
Like I’m supposed to do
‘Cause I got that boom boom that all the boys chase
And all the right junk in all the right places

I see the magazine workin’ that Photoshop
We know that shit ain’t real
C’mon now, make it stop
If you got beauty, beauty, just raise ‘em up
‘Cause every inch of you is perfect
From the bottom to the top

Yeah, my mama she told me don’t worry about your size
She says, “Boys like a little more booty to hold at night.”
You know I won’t be no stick figure silicone Barbie doll
So if that’s what you’re into then go ahead and move along

Because you know I’m
All about that bass
‘Bout that bass, no treble
I’m all about that bass
‘Bout that bass, no treble
I’m all about that bass
‘Bout that bass, no treble
I’m all about that bass
‘Bout that bass
Hey!

I’m bringing booty back
Go ahead and tell them skinny bitches that
No I’m just playing. I know you think you’re fat
But I’m here to tell ya
Every inch of you is perfect from the bottom to the top

Yeah my mama she told me don’t worry about your size
She says, “Boys like a little more booty to hold at night.”
You know I won’t be no stick figure silicone Barbie doll
So if that’s what you’re into then go ahead and move along

Because you know I’m
All about that bass
‘Bout that bass, no treble
I’m all about that bass
‘Bout that bass, no treble
I’m all about that bass
‘Bout that bass, no treble
I’m all about that bass
‘Bout that bass

Because you know I’m
All about that bass
‘Bout that bass, no treble
I’m all about that bass
‘Bout that bass, no treble
I’m all about that bass
‘Bout that bass, no treble
I’m all about that bass
‘Bout that bass

Because you know I’m
All about that bass
‘Bout that bass, no treble
I’m all about that bass
‘Bout that bass, no treble
I’m all about that bass
‘Bout that bass, no treble
I’m all about that bass
‘Bout that bass
‘Bout that bass, ‘bout that bass
Hey, hey, ooh
You know you like this bass

want to watch the vedio?here is the link : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7PCkvCPvDXk


Now let me tell you about my opinion and my feelings after listening to the song…


We need to stop focusing on both size and other people’s opinions. Ourselves worth should not be dictated by any other person whether a man or a woman, and my responsibility to myself is to be as healthy and self-confident and as strong as I can be. When I feel that, healthy and strong, I feel and I AM beautiful.


now let me end with this precious quote:


“be yourself- not your idea of what you think somebody else’s idea of yourself should be.” 
― Henry David Thoreau



Thank you for the interesting lesson
