You won’t win
Remember this beauty tag line from the 80’s?

I have a personal theory. You can place someone in a room with a million people and each of those million people tell that one person a good quality about him or her that one person may feel pretty good about themselves for a short time but will give in to self-doubt and a negative self-image within a few days.

but I have to do my part first
so I’ll try it out and see

It said,
Born of a spring, I am clean
It takes work
to provide water for all in sight.
