Melting Pot

I never truly understand that term. What is a melting pot? Maybe you can help me, Nuala? I think I know the meaning of it, but am not sure if a pot is made of different colors or types of clay. Oh well, the thought just went through my head just now..

One day, my boy friend and I made an "observation"... Why are there so many beautiful people come out of mixed couple? Ever wonder why? :)
Well, I simply think maybe that is because we are meant to spread and be a melting pot. When Dove commercial said that "we are beautiful just as we are", it's actually true. A blond guy might look average in australia, but looks extraordinary in asia. So is a chinese girl in africa. Every one of us is uniquely created. If that means anything, for me it's about perspective. As human, it's normal that we value rare things in life.

What do you think? What is the one thing that you consider as rare?

PS. Thanks so much for your replies and encouraging words! I'm glad that you are still reading my blog. Please forgive me for the lack of images, because sometimes I'm posting blog through my mobile device. I'm taking notes on all the books you've recommended, and will try to read before I go to bed every night. By the way, I read most of Paulo Coelho's books.. But right now i'm placing "the Winner Stands Alone" on my priority list.

Thanks for all your contributions. This blog has now closed and can no longer accept new comments.
