Appearance / Form
When we look past the color of other people's skin, we're more likely to see that they are a lot like us.
Watermelon Magic , 1996

Attributes that are considered appealing today may be out of style tomorrow … The danger of living in a society that reveres beauty and youth to the nth degree is that people judge others on their ornamental rather than inherent value.
Ibid.

Attitude

We are held back only by our beliefs. If you believe that where you are and what you have is the best you will ever do, then that's where you'll stay. If you believe that life can be better, then it will become better.
