People always accuse me of being motivational in a way like it was a bad thing but that's just how I was raised. My mom raised me in a positive environment with lots of love in my heart and that reflects in my music.

If we're destroying our trees and destroying our environment and hurting animals and hurting one another and all that stuff there's got to be a very powerful energy to fight that. I think we need more love in the world. We need more kindness more compassion more joy more laughter. I definitely want to contribute to that.

You can't make positive choices for the rest of your life without an environment that makes those choices easy natural and enjoyable.

Students who are interested in learning about the environment should not be dissuaded from doing so but only if they have proved their proficiency in other basic courses such as U.S. history. Until then we need to focus on producing well-educated citizens steeped in their country's history and mindful of their civic responsibilities.

If you feel your school is failing you the question is why. Is it a lack of parental involvement large classes school violence poor learning environment? Are there any standards to determine where problems are? Are there tutoring or mentoring programs? If the school is still failing after 3 years then what are your options?

In such an environment I was able to study things that could be of immediate usefulness to the world. That learning experience undoubtedly served me well when I eventually entered the work force.

Learning is any change in a system that produces a more or less permanent change in its capacity for adapting to its environment.

Of course learning is strengthened and solidified when it occurs in a safe secure and normal environment.

I think we need the feminine qualities of leadership which include attention to aesthetics and the environment nurturing affection intuition and the qualities that make people feel safe and cared for.

Be careful the environment you choose for it will shape you be careful the friends you choose for you will become like them.
