I will have to say this is my first posted blog, and my second attempt to write one so please bear with me.
I was with a friend a few years back and this friend, I thought, was just one of the coolest people I knew. Well, one day while we were talking she said to me, "you know what Josh" and I said, "probably not" Well then she said a statement that has stuck with me for years and to this day I think about it when I need inspiration. She said "Josh, you are so cool, I wish I was as cool as you". That statement really caught me off guard and sadly boosted my ego, but it also made me start thinking!
I was standing in front of my friend and I did not know what to say, I did not know how to come back from that compliment because before she said "I wish I was as cool as you" I had always assumed she was cooler then me. So I started thinking and came to the hypothesis that most people feel the way I did! If you are never called cool you probably will never be able to bring yourself to the point of total control over your ego and emotions.
So I am still standing in front of my friend gaping after she said I was cool and that she wished she was as cool as me! So I finally said these simple words that I feel were sent form God! I said, "You don’t have to be cool, You already are!" If everyone knew this, then I feel that we (the human Population) as a whole would have better morale and be more confident in our lives.
I would like to just say in closing that I have met some people who I thought were boring or not cool! The problem I have come to find with this scenario is within me and I have found out that everyone is cool in there own way! It just takes getting to know them for who they are and accepting that!
Thanks for your time and may God bless you! Please, I am not going to beg but I am asking that if you try to be nice to everyone then you will usually find that they are cooler than you would ever imagine. And remember you don’t have to be cool, you already are; just be yourself and see what happens.

Great post! When I think of cool I think of honesty and kindness. If you are honest with yourself and others about who you are people will think you are cool because you are not trying to be something that you are not. And if you are consistently thoughtful and kind to others they can't help but appreciate you as a person. I like you're honesty Josh.
