pressure i think he just craved a little affection you know a sense of being loved and needed and wanted we are all guilty of comparing ourselves to other people especially in the age of social media and sometimes we can forget to celebrate what makes us so great when the camera stopped rolling marilyn was true to herself an admirable quality that we should strive to internalize number eight how wrong it is for a woman to expect the man to build the world she wants rather than to create it herself in other words go break those glass ceilings ladies anybody but that monster lorelei lee what mr resman i am laura lily pretty early in the game to start teaching your father-in-law you might argue that marilyn lived in an even more male-dominated era than we do today but that does not mean she let them have control young lady you don't fool me one bit i'm not trying to but i bet i could though when she wanted to shed her sex symbol image she went for more serious roles when joe dimaggio

things to just materialize it's up to you to build the world you want to see why is it wrong for me to want those things well i can see that say they told me you were stupid you don't sound stupid to me i can be smart when it's important number seven we are all stars but we must learn how to shine marilyn had her lucky break when she was discovered by a photographer and the world was introduced to a new star you know of course that diamonds are a girl's best friend and this is our proof of it but you don't have to dream of life under the spotlight for the sentiment of this message to still apply many of us especially women hold back out of fear of being perceived as bossy aggressive or difficult you just walk in a strange out of nowhere and for the first time it all lights up however in exchange for repressing who we really are we also dim the qualities that make us sparkle the most while you may know what makes you shine the brightest it's time to share it with the world you're a real beautiful woman it's almost kind of an honor sitting next to you you just shine in my eyes that's my true feeling number six always always always believe in yourself because if you don't then who will sweetie in order to throw on that crown we talked about earlier first you have to believe that you are worthy of it you know you do need more love in your life i never met anyone who needed it more and don't be afraid of taking up some space in this world maryland definitely wouldn't you get back what you put out there so whether it's a job interview that promotion you knew you'd be perfect for or pretty much anything else if you don't believe in yourself why should anyone else stand tall and proud show the world that you believe in yourself and the rest will follow number five imperfection is beauty madness is genius and it's better to be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely boring you may not believe this but people keep falling desperately in love with me i agree and suddenly you get this strange idea in their heads i believe that too yes they start asking me to marry them all the time while marilyn might be known as a pin-up icon you don't need to delve too far into her biography to know that she was far from perfect nevertheless the fact that her legacy still lives on today speaks volumes for the kind of person she was during her time maryland was someone women aspired to look like and men wanted to be with yet she celebrated the quirkier parts of life after all its people's differences in individuality that usually make them fascinating and help add a little color to this world oh do you feel the breeze from the subway isn't it delicious number four sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together the moon don't shine the tide [Music] hollywood can be such a fickle industry so we imagine anyone in that world clings onto this optimism however in maryland's life she faced many uncertainties so it's inspiring to know that she always focused on what could be right around the corner that's right because of a girl spending all of her time worrying about the money she does in her how is she going to have any time for being in love we've all felt that heartbreak when something doesn't go how we'd hope and we're left feeling dejected however we must remind ourselves that while things might feel a bit rubbish in that moment it just makes room in your life for something even more amazing to come your way good evening mr ezra won't you pray comey thank you i'd love to number three we should all start to live before we get

was found dead at age 36. in that brief time she achieved so much and left such an extraordinary legacy that it remains just as unforgettable today while you have the chance you should pursue your dreams and live your life to the fullest so that when you're old you can look back and smile you have the gift for life wrestling the rest of us we're just looking for a place to hide and watch it all go by number two a wise girl knows her limits a smart girl knows that she has none i couldn't aspire to anything higher you might say that marilyn was quite ahead of her time in encouraging girls and women to smash those glass ceilings she pursued her goals fought for her dreams and was never afraid to speak her mind she exemplifies what you can achieve when you defy the status quo and show that you can keep up with the best of them if not better you know far away in the south sea islands when a man hurts himself and he doesn't want people to see him cry you know what he does he has somebody else cry for him how does that help you'd be surprised marilyn joins a long list of strong empowering women who encourage future generations to keep fighting for equality and to never underestimate their capabilities can i cry for you that's silly i'm good before we unveil our top pick here are a few honorable mentions it's better to be unhappy alone than unhappy with someone so far we should all heed marilyn's advice all i know is i don't want to get married not yet anyway keep smiling because life is a beautiful thing and there's so much to smile about you know what they say when you smile the whole world smiles with you what makes you so sad i think you're the saddest girl i ever met the first man never said that i'm usually told how happy i am that's because you make a man feel happy i live to succeed not to please you or anyone else the only person you need to answer to is yourself don't you know that a man being rich is like a girl being pretty you might not marry a girl
