=**Everyone Is SP E C I A L !! ** =

==**Everyone in the world is special. Each person has his or her own value, and can be useful in some way. It is just the matter of whether you believe in yourself, and whether you can find how you can be useful. When Piglet wonders if he can be brave since he is a very small animal, Rabbit answers, “It is because you are a very small animal that you will be Useful in the adventure before us.” (Pg. 117) Then when Pooh asks if HE is useful as well, Rabbit answers, “Without Pooh, the adventure would be impossible.” What is Rabbit saying here? The Rabbit is recognizing each of his friend’s value. The Rabbit thinks that if they were to go on an adventure, Pooh and Piglet would be useful in SOME way. Both are needed because everyone is special, and therefore different in their usefulness as well. The point here can be depicted by the picture below.** ==



== They are the Incredibles or the Parr family. Each member of the family is unique and has different ability. Bob Parr, the father figure, has a superhuman strength and high resistance to harm. Helen Parr, the mother, has superhuman elasticity and plasticity. Violet Parr, the girl in the family, has invisibility and creation of force fields. Dash Parr has superhuman speed. And finally, the baby Jack-Jack Parr has powers to burst into flames and pass through solid objects. Each member is special in his or her own way. Each has his own value ==

== Believe in yourself and recognize your value. ==

==People, especially nowadays, have a tendency to follow the way that was taught to them instead of following their dream. In order to become the best person you can be, you need to be able to recognize your own value, and take risks to chase after what you want to be and find where you belong. You cannot be afraid to fail or be discouraged by little things that happen along the way to become the person you want to be. As Hoff says "the play-it-safe pessimists of the world never accomplish much of anything, because they don't look clearly and objectively at situations, they don't recognize or believe in their own abilities, and they won't stretch those abilities to overcome even the smallest amount of risk." If you follow what your parents, peers, or other people want you to do, how can you find your value? ==

== Oprah Winfrey had a lot of obstacles along her way to success. she was uncared by her parents, sexually abused by her own relatives starting at the age of 9, ran away from home at the age of 13, got pregnant at the age of 14, and lost her son shortly after his birth. However, she overcame these obstacles and did not let her childhood to degrade her value. She believed in herself, and now she is an international success. ==

(pg.128) From Tz'u comes wisdom and courage. One might have a clever mind or intelligence, but without tz'u, he cannot have wisdom because "knowledge doesn't really care. Wisdom does." This means that true wisdom can only be gained by caring about others and oneself. Knowledge is something that anybody can gain right out of books. Wisdom cannot be simply learned from reading books. When Roo had been carried away by the current, Pooh and Kanga were able to rescue Roo not because they were intelligent, but because they had wisdom that came from caring about Roo. Pooh and Kanga had good judgment and were wise because they truly cared about Roo, and they wanted to rescue him. Just from that simple caring, came the solution. Same goes for the situation where Piglet was stuck in a flood. Pooh was able to rescue Piglet because he had Tz'u. ==
