No success happens in one night. It’s about repetitive practice and contribution towards your goal.
It’s easy for us to under-estimate the power of small actions. Just remember every action you do contributes to your goal, every step forward is a progress and they worth your celebration.
As a modern parent, you probably have to juggle several tasks in addition to looking after the baby. Career demands and other daily tasks make it impossible to be physically present near the baby at all times. After the paternity/maternity leave, you will have to leave the baby in the care of a baby sitter. Is the baby asleep or agitated? Is the baby happy?
When you are around the house with the baby, you will need to step out from time to go to the bathroom, or even attend to a meal on the stove. Those few minutes when you are away can feel like hours. As a working mom with a babysitter, you will spend the hours at work agonizing about the baby, for there are plenty of horror stories about baby-sitters.
A baby monitor allows you to keep an eye on the baby even when you are not physically near the baby. Here are some of the top recommended baby monitors in the market, to keep your worries away.

“You can’t win if you don’t play.”That’s true about life as well as the lottery. How often have we had our dreams crushed by thinking, “I can’t do that”?
You never know what’s possible until you try. If you don’t make an effort, you’ll never know how far you can go.
Don’t judge a book by its cover
Legally Blonde (2001), starring Reese Witherspoon, Luke Wilson, and Selma Blair reminds us that determination can take you far. Witherspoon plays Elle Woods, a sorority girl who has her heart broken.
Elle is determined to win back her guy. She accomplishes the incredible feat of getting into Harvard Law School to impress him.
If what you want to achieve is different from the crowd, stay alone
As a fashionable blonde with a bubbly personality, everyone doubts Elle’s abilities. Her fellow students take bets on how long she will survive law school, and people tell her that she really isn’t cut out for law.
Elle is undeterred by all of this. While she originally wanted to go to Harvard to impress her ex, she ends up finding herself along the way. Elle discovers that she has talents beyond her wildest imagining. She uses her skills to help others.
If she had given up or listened to the people who discouraged her, she couldn’t have achieved so much.
When it comes to your dreams, stand your ground
We need to chase our dreams, or we’ll never know what we can do. Many times, I’ve thought my dreams were impossible to achieve. Perhaps I need to give myself a chance to attempt a few of the things I’ve given up on in the past because of self-doubt.
Elle relentlessly pursues what she wants–no matter what people say. Legally Blonde is motivation to rethink what’s possible.
Legally Blonde gets 4 out of 5 stars for being funny and inspirational.
Embrace possibility and follow your bliss

Plensa’s body of work is primarily inspired by the complexities of the human condition. He is known for the exploration of the tension between the interior and exterior life. The artist uses a variety of materials—from cast iron to steel and bronze to alabaster and synthetic resin—choosing the material which will best communicate his idea for the image. Plensa’s portraits are a radical reinterpretation of what is usually considered the domain of a more classical art. Each portrait begins with an image of a particular individual, usually a young woman on the cusp of adulthood, someone he knows. Posing with eyes closed, the sitter is photographed from all sides, and then the image is elongated and abstracted in the computer with Plensa’s unerring eye and masterful treatment of the human image to create sculpture with an elegant silhouette and universal appeal. The features of his portraits transcend race, culture and language.
