FOXNews.com - Foxlife - Strakalogue - Grrr! Bono: A Not-So-Stupid Lit'l Dreamer: "Striving for anything beyond the realm of the ordinary will put you in a gray area where some people are inspired by you, and others will do whatever they can to keep you down.
When encountering the former, it would be best to encourage them to follow their own dreams with hard work and integrity. When encountering the latter, it's best to ignore them.
Negative people will set you back in your career and in your life.
Nobody knows that better than rock star Bono, (search) of U2. One of the most remarkable episodes of any recent late-night talk show happened last week when U2 'hijacked' — to quote Bono — 'Late Night with Conan O'Brien.'
Never mind that Conan is the best show in his time slot, the performances by U2 were some of the best live television will ever offer. And then, Bono spoke about aid to Africa and forgiveness of debt in third world nations.
Before you Grrr! the cause, Bono has been outspoken about aid to victims of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita here in America, as well."
The way Bono has gone about his activism is both admirable and inspirational. He's done it with respect for others' points of views, and with a reasonable voice that forces people to listen.
"You don't have to agree on everything to get on with somebody," he said of his relationship with President Bush. "You just have to agree on one thing."
According to the Grrr! Lexicon, a "Stupid Lit'l Dreamer" is someone who strives to better his life, his career and the lives of those around him. She is someone who believes she can make a difference. They are people who can ask the most basic and most important question of society or their bosses or the man or woman of their dreams. That question is: "Why not me?"
When you believe in yourself, anything is possible...
Whatever it is that gives you the strength to wipe away your tears, hold on to it for dear life and nurture it with all of your heart. Because at the end of the day, your money, your job, your career and all of those Oblivions who tried to keep you down won't be following you into the afterlife.
The love you've left behind will be the energy that propels you to your next journey.

Why are people so bias towards Fox? Is it because the general public is constantly exposed to the left wing journalism of our mainstream media? Like your site Dr. D.
