Song 'Nobody’s Perfect' by Jessie J:

Nobody's perfect but we are wonderfully made.....

"If you look closely at a tree you’ll notice its knots and dead branches, just like our bodies. What we learn is that beauty and imperfection go together wonderfully."
- Matthew Fox

Song lesson: From ‘Complicated’ by Avril Lavigne

I like you the way you are
When we’re driving in your car,
And you’re talking to me one on one.
But you become somebody else 'round everyone else,
You’re watching your back like you can’t relax,
You’re trying to be cool,
You look like a fool to me.
Tell me…Why did you have to go and make things so complicated?
I see the way you’re acting like you’re somebody else,
Gets me frustrated.

Hard work, giving respect are examples of things we may not want to do but are things that are ought to do......

"Most of us don’t mind doing what we ought to do when it doesn’t interfere with what we want to do, but it takes discipline and maturity to do what we ought to do whether we want to or not."
- Joseph B. Wirthlin

"Dedicate yourself and you could be standing in the hall of fame."
- From the song 'Hall Of Fame' by The Script

A lesson that you can rise above failure......

"I’ve missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I’ve lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I’ve been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I’ve failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed."
- Michael Jordan
