BARBRA STREISAND LYRICS
Écoutez "I'm The Greate…"
"I'm The Greatest Star"
[Fanny waits for Eddie to come out of the theatre and tries to explain that she doesn't fit into the chorus because she's got star potential.]
[Fanny:]
Listen,
I've got thirty-six expressions-
Sweet as pie to tough as leather,
And that's six expressions more
Than all them Barrymores put together.
Instead of just kicking me
Why don't they give me a lift?
It must be a plot,
'Cause they're scared that I got
Such a gift-well, I'm miffed-'cause
I'm the greatest star-
I am by far, but no one knows it!
Wait, they're gonna hear a voice,
A silver flute-ah hah, ah hah-
They'll cheer each toot (Hey! I hear she's terrific)
When I expose it!
Now, can't you see to look at me
That I'm a natural Camille?
As Camille I just feel
I've so much to offer.
Listen kid, I know I'd be divine because
I'm a natural cougher.
[Coughs]
Some ain't got it-not a lump,
I'm a great big clump of talent!
Laugh!
They'll bend in half.
(Did you ever hear the story about the traveling salesman?)
A thousand jokes:
Stick around for the jokes,
A thousand faces.
I reiterate,
When you're gifted,
Then you're gifted,
These are facts-I got no axe to grind.
Hey, what are they-blind?
In all of the world so far
I'm the greatest star!
Who is the pip with piz-azz?
Who is all ginger and jazz?
Who is as glamorous as?
Who's an American Beauty rose
With an American Beauty nose,
And ten American Beaty toes,
Eyes on the target, and wham-
One shot, one gun shot and bam!
Hey, Mr. Ziegfeld, here I am!
I'm the greatest star,
I am by far,
But no one knows it!
That's why I was born-
I'll blow my horn
Till someone blows it!
I'll light up like a light
Right up like a light
I'll flicker, then flare up
All the world's gonna stare up
Lookin' down
You'll never see me-
Try the sky,
'Cause that'll be me.
I can make 'em cry,
I can make 'em sigh,
Someday they'll clamor
For my dram-er.
Have you guessed yet,
Who's the best yet?
If you ain't I'll tell you one more time.
You bet your last dime
In all of the world so far
I'm the greatest, greatest star
Difference between nice and evil people
really nice quote
someone may do bad things like cheating, stealing etc.
but as long as he looks after people around himself
then there is still hope left in him
but those who are ready to fall/prey on others
ready to eat them
they are the evil ones
when i heard that
i found it interesting
that is like in food chain
eat or be eaten
is the law of the society
as as Hobbes said
Man is a wolf to man
and it all of sudden
reminded me
of relationship in society
why some people are considered as vampire
as they do some good - in apparence - to tame you
and make you believe how all good they are
and is a calculated good call it "n"
as they are eyeing to get back from you "n+1"
call it sneaky or calculation or forward thinking
or "if i spend on people, life always gives it back to me in some way"
whatever fancy word to make it sound beautiful
Truth is
GENUINE CARE
either you have it or not
if you have it
is for you own good
you are someone who has some hope left in you
if you don't have care for others
then you are just -evil- as the guy put it
i went to a seminar
and to my astonishment
i saw how the way of thinking and finding solution even managing team is changing
the speaker is no more considering himself a teacher
the Mr or Ma'm know it all
but a facilitator for group exchange
and the group composed of a few people
say 10
are a mirror to each other ...
they hold each other in a way accountable
..and i was amazed
that the facilitator warned us
saying...
if you hear some good words as praise
good for you
but when you are confronted by those that pain you
then
learn to take it in
face it
don't shrink from hearing it nor have a hostile and defensive position
but take it as a challenge to get the good out of it for your own self
is your "new Horizon"
very fast forward thinking
even some deepness and insight
yet .... was a business seminar
i was very impressed
in current capitalistic model
Man is a wolf to man
applies very much
actually is the downside of Globalisation
who can eat more and grow
but that way to see people
as the link to a chain
who are interdependent on each other
is very fast forward thinking
and may i say
very human view of life
Human are characterised as being linked to each other
aren't we family members
or colleagues or friends etc
there are always labels to qualify relationship
is because as a human being
our strength is to be part of a chain
is true so far
individuality was the focus
now the Group as an Entity not as a team only
is a new kind of emerging consciousness
i found it fascinating
Man is a wolf to man
in a denser world
but in a more subtle one
Man is a link to man
Quotes from the movie below
which i really agree with
and are worthy to be highlighted there:
the ego construct is nothing more than the impulse to repeat
is simply the path the energy once stuck (in our body - hence importane of purification that erase it)
and the tendancy for that energy to take that path again
whether it is positif or negatif for the organism
end of quote
this is why the "let go" notion
is the one that helps to "purify"
let go of money like by paying alms/zakat
let go of your precious stuff by gifting to people what they like when they look at your belonging
is why arabs of middle east (lol not of north africa) are for some
known to gift their belonging when they get praise for them
initially is meant for you not to stick to them
as the more people praise the object
the more you will get attached and finally identified with
hence the giving of it
is what i feel is the meaning behind
such now cultural mannerism
another quote :
eyes of child
have no trace of self
only luminous emptiness
in an awakened person consciousness shines
through the personality
i particularly like this quote
as is what i had experienced in life
the prison is your current limited belief of self
and prison is an illusion
if you identify with your illusory self
then you are asleep
once you are aware of the prison
and if you fight to get out of its illusion
then you treat illusion as real
then you are still asleep
except the illusion becomes a nightmare
very on point quote
because is exactly how i felt
before i had self realisation
as i wanted not to receive an injection
to get asleep and live a life of work-marry-sleep
i gave it up
to get out of it
part of seeking was mainly blurry
as i knew what i wanted not
but knew not what i sought
and once i came to a dead end
and was jerked back into "you must live as others do and stay asleep"
that i fought again
and literally speaking life was a nightmare
so were my sleep time full of nightmares
so what the author of this vid said
is very on point
now.. i must also point
there are good stuff i quoted not
but it shows how much is for an open minded muslim
if he listens to it .. its true islamic spirit /religion can become clearer to him
and am sure if a christian listens to it, he would also find this vid confirming its true christian teaching
about being reborn
same for an agnostic etc.
here i take two examples for muslims
in hadith it is said
"die before you die"
this topic is being treated in this vid
but when you look at the islamic teaching and hadith
how much the average muslim knows about the meaning of this?
yet is so openly laid in this vid
may be too much for an average muslim to get it
yet is where he can see the way pointed by islam
to its true self
another example
hadith : every child is born in true religion (fitrah) only his parents, society corrupts him
in vid the quote about the child eyes
when you look at them
what you?
luminous emptiness
is the hint about the true self
again
could the average muslim
see what the quran made of aya points at for him to seek?
did you know
if you are a muslim
that the word ayah..translated as verse in english
means in truth "signs, evidence, that are pointed at" for the belivers to look at..?to find truth..
same another example in the vid
metaphor of prison is given
in hadith it is said
the world for a true mu'min/believer is like a prison...
see?
never i had understood it
till i got self realisation
so this vid is pretty good material
for any seeker of truth
whatever its religious background
it helps you to fathom your own references
taught by your religion
again
as the vid pointed at
your aim is not to fight the illusion
as you create a hell..as terrorists do
not only eternal hell for themselves
sadly enough is what happens to each single wannabe terrorist
but also engulf in hell other victims along with him
is why also in hadith
was told that in end of times
people will kill and other will be killed
while both of them won't know why this happen
when i look 5 years back
is true that situation has become so precarious
and unsafe as violence spread in europe and intensifies like never before in middle east
but also
what is incredible to me
is that is the time
when the human being was the most at its technological peak
and mistakingly religious people think they are the most near to truth
while they have never been so far from it
when you look from the point of view of awareness in humanity
the teaching are so much distorted
that what was meant to help and guide
such as religion
is what is being used as an excuse to push even more towards destruction
another last quote of vid
see things as they are
isn't it what you can read in hadith
the prophet prayer being often
"Allah let me see things as they truly are"
so this vid should be just enough for any seeker of truth
even for and especially for muslims
provided they seek truth
but if you think
you have it already
then you are doom to never get anything beneficial from life or even this vid lol
Good vid for those who want to have a good overview of their situation :
