I think that if you put your mind to it, you can have anything that you want.

It's like calling someone sweet.
"When bees flit from flower to flower the nectar sticks to their legs. The phrase "bee's knees" means sweet and good, because the knees of the bee are where all the sweet, good stuff is collected. "-Urbandictionary. haha |

I love it when people say that I can have what I want. It makes me want to get it even more. So far I am batting a thousand when it comes to the naysayers.

Wow. I just compared the dates. Well I guess its more along the lines of..."You can't do something and expect only good to come out of it"? I mean, thats how I interpret it.

^ That, or when you want too many things at the same time and some things just don't work out.
And yeah, I know this thread is old. But...  ... it still needs love...

THE CAKE IS A LIE.
I've heard of the "take what I said with a grain of salt" as in "take it lightly". =_=" I don't think I've heard it form a black person. I think I heard it from a white person... Maybe one of my teachers.. hmm... |

Yeah, this phrase is an oldie.
I figure maybe if you didn't have the cake, then you could eat it. Does that mean you'd be stealing someone elses' cake? |

So I finally figured this one out after randomly deciding to look it up.
It's supposed to be thought of as "You can't eat your cake and have it too," meaning that after you eat your cake, you can't keep having it because it's already gone. Which makes so much more sense. Why couldn't they just say so? lol. |
