as DOMA Struck down and Prop 8 case dismissed on standing

the challenge to the constitutionality of California's Proposition 8, which bans same-sex marriage: After the two same-sex couples filed their challenge to Proposition 8 in federal court in California, the California government officials who would normally have defended the law in court, declined to do so. So the proponents of Proposition 8 stepped in to defend the law, and the California Supreme Court (in response to a request by the lower court) ruled that they could do so under state law. But today the Supreme Court held that the proponents do not have the legal right to defend the law in court. As a result, it held, the decision by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, the intermediate appellate court, has no legal force, and it sent the case back to that court with instructions for it to dismiss the case.

what about 10 years later?

    When I was a young boy, I used to gaze through the microscope of my father at the insects in amber that he kept in the house. And they were remarkably well preserved, morphologically just phenomenal. And we used to imagine that someday, they would actually come to life and they would crawl out of the resin, and, if they could, they would fly away.  

If you had asked me 10 years ago whether or not we would ever be able to sequence the genome of extinct animals, I would have told you, it's unlikely. If you had asked whether or not we would actually be able to revive an extinct species, I would have said, pipe dream.

But I'm actually standing here today, amazingly,

to tell you that not only is the sequencing of extinct genomes a possibility, 

actually a modern-day reality, but the revival of an extinct species is actually within reach

are YOU ready to think out of the box?
are YOU ready to accept just Think about
things may happen in as little as 10 years?
10 years later, everything is going to be different and we all know that
it's only the matter of are we going to accept it now and look far...

Have you ever feel powerless?

is there anyone tell you that you are not supposed to do this and that?
When you really wanted to and truly wants to,
all it requires is you to think through it...

and she, Amy Cuddy is going to tell you How to do it:
 

Don't fake it till you make it, fake it till you becomes it.
Do it enough until you actually becomes it and internalize.
