Destined for le top

'I always knew,' Miss Piggy once told TV Guide, 'that I was destined for le top.'

She has it all: fame, fortune, sex appeal, and a cute green boyfriend. What life and career lessons can we learn from that porker extraordinaire, Miss Piggy?
Live life according to your own rules:
Miss Piggy refused to be defined by her gender or species. Don't be a prisoner of your job description.
Determination can take you anywhere:
An unlikely candidate for super-stardom, Miss Piggy chose to ignore skeptics and blaze her own path. Don't let others slow you down.
Work with what you're given:
Big became beautiful for the Divine Miss P. Turn liabilities into assets: exploit your uniqueness.

Always leave 'em wanting more:
There was a hint of mystery, that undefinable "something" that set Miss Piggy apart. She didn't feel compelled to reveal all (thank goodness!) and neither should you.


Additional words of wisdom from Miss Piggy:

“Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and it may be necessary from time to time to give a stupid or misinformed beholder a black eye.”

“Only time can heal your broken heart just as only time can heal his arms and legs.”

“Never eat anything you can't lift.”

“Never purchase beauty products in a hardware store.”

The Rainbow Connection

"Who said that every wish would be heard and answered
when wished on the morning star?

Somebody thought of that

and someone believed it,
and look what it's done so far.
What's so amazing that keeps us stargazing?

And what do we think we might see?
Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection,

the lovers, the dreamers and me."

-Paul Williams, The Rainbow Connection, sung by Kermit the Frog


I will not be a cultural snob. I will acknowledge poetry where I find it and refrain from mocking the sensibilities of others.

When words spark emotion and melodies trigger mood, I will smile at the sentiment and search for the vision.

Who am I to dismiss a song and a dream?
