Wow! I am surprised anyone has anything negative to say about this! Talk about seeing the glass half full!
I have seen this before, several times, and absolutely love it every time! I say kudos to Jessica’s parents! The energy in the room goes up every time I play this! I tend to think the naysayers are thinking too deeply and not taking this at face value. ‘Say something positive’, and ‘be happy’, seem to be the simple message. FYI – Give More and ‘smoving’ rock!!! LOL
LOVE this girl. As children, we all have the belief that we are powerful, capable, dynamic, intelligent and strong, until adults beat it out of us. And it’s all about belief.
Leave it to the Profs to throw cold water on something fun and hopeful. Sure, you’re right.
However, a postive outlook is more of what we need.
Hope Jessica keeps her ‘can do’ attitude!
Sorry, kids. Research has demonstrated that high self-esteem isn’t actually related to success at all – but it IS related to narcissism. “I can do anything better than anybody” isn’t really a good mantra for a child to learn. How about “I can learn a lot!” Jessica has been tainted by America’s recent obsession with thinking we’re great even when we’re not (American students rate themselves high on math skills, South Koreans rate themselves average or poor – but the SKoreans kick our students’ asses regularly in math performance. Is it really good to think you’re better than everyone at something when you’re not?).
She’s a cute little girl, and I hope her parents are able to restrain her “inner voice” when she’s a teenage girl telling them she can do anything she wants and is better than everyone. That’s not so cute anymore, is it?
Read up on http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/17349066/ns/health-mental_health/ before telling me how evil I am, willya? Thanks.
Love this girl and her hair
Wish she’d be the next Prime Minister ……. move over Julia Gillard (AUST)
its wonderful..
get a grip Bill
Having a three-year old at home, I really wouldn’t want them balancing and dancing around on the bathroom sink. No amount of positive affirmation will overcome a head trauma from a fall.
I like that Jessica took the moment to announce her choice in life. She will be successful as long as she continues the best practices in life. Being good, be focus, ignore the negative. Go Jess!
Did you notice how Jessica’s power ramped up the baby you hear in the background to? Somebody get this girl an agent and connect her with BP Oil. They sure need her!
Get the REAL story staight before commenting.
Today she is 12.
Jessica rocks – we all need to remember to be positive and love our selves first!! We are all capable of achieving the greatness we were sent here to achieve and to love and support those around us!
You go girl!!
There ARE days I can get myself up like Jess (NOT on the counter, however!) When I can’t think of anything right off the bat, I start with a smile. You’d be surprised how often the thoughts and words start up after seeing yourself smile at the world. Add the words “You can do it” as you’re looking at yourself – and the world is yours for the taking…
We can learn a lot from Jessica. You can actually see her getting fired up by what she is saying.
I don’t think I can climb up on my counter and do that every morning! lol!
She’s got the Golden Ticket to LIfe. Good Attitudes=Good Return. Watch out world, Jessica has a message for you! (And a lifetime supply of Wonka Bars
.
Follow the Leader! She should feature in our music. http://www.myspace.com/soulpiratez
She is definitely A SoulPirate! Go Jess.
Positive attitudes are natural. We are born with winning spirits.
Negative attitudes and losing is learned.
It is great to see a young girl who is learning to be positive and confident. These are important assets to possess in life!
When does this change? and more importantly Why? This is right up there with “Stop and smell the roses”. Kids stop and smell and touch, and look at EVERYTHING on a walk! One of the many reasons some of my best friends are “kids”!
It’s amazing how children know how to listen to their inner voice and feel joy…awesome.
