Dear Toti,

    I’m writing to you from my hotel room. Everyone else is sleeping, but I’m sitting here and watching the ocean. We’re staying at the Plaza in Atlantic Beach, and the view is beautiful. The tour is goes well. The audience is crazy about the new songs, but the fans are always asking for you. How is the baby? She has a great voice. Are you teaching her to sing yet? Maybe both of you will come along for the next tour!

Ben

Michael Jackson

 

Ben, the two of us need look no more
We both found what we were looking for
with a friend to call my own
I will never be alone
And you, my friend, will see
you have got a friend in me
Ben, you are always running here and there
You feel you are not wanted anywhere
If you ever look behind and don’t like what you will find
There’s something you should know
You have got a place to go
I used to say “I” and “Me”
Now it’s us, now it’s we
Ben, most people would turn you away...

The best way to boost self-esteem

 

  Working hard to accomplish great things is a healthy way to pump your ego? Not necessarily, according to researchers at the University of Michigan. In their survey of 642 college freshmen, those who measured their self-worth against objective standards, such as getting good grades, were actually more stressed - and received no higher marks - than those who based how they felt themselves of their relationships with others. That’s not to say that you shouldn’t work hard; just don’t make it all about you. “Instead of focusing on whether you’re succeeding, ask yourself, ‘What am I contributing to society? How will people benefit from what I’m doing?’” suggests lead researcher Jennifer Crocker, Ph.D. “This takes the pressure off you and guarantees that your work will always feel meaningful.”
