Shining Star

I'm SO excited about life right now. You gotta push hard, when there is no light at the end of the tunnel, because you know you are doing the right thing and persevering more than anyone else. If you work smart and are the best at what you do as a result, still exuding benevolence, you will rise to the top. Thank you to everyone right now fueling this desire to pursue my passions. I hope you all can feel my energy.

I Can't Get Over How...


DOPE this picture of AL BE BACK is

I LOOOOOOOOOOVVVVVVVVEEEEEEEEEE BARACK!

Is anyone watching the debate?? Hill just flipped out, in a extremely ludicrous, juvenile manner. I love how Barack is keeping his cool and is so calm and collected despite Hillary's inappropriately audacious behavior.

Ratings for her are going wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy down after this debate. Maybe Ohio and Texas will have a landslide in Barack's favor. That'd be amazing!!

Barack '08 :)

Excited For The Debate Tonight!



I love how in today's NEW YORK TIMES it says that 67% of college graduates favor Obama over Clinton. He inspires people to transform the world in such a positive way. He's a rock star. Who would have thought 6 months ago that Barack Obama would be this far in the Presidential Primaries and now the country favors him as the Democratic PRESIDENTIAL candidate!! He has so much hope for our country and I have so much hope for him. It's only going UP from here. If he wins Ohio and Texas, which was considered impossible 2 months ago but now is very achievable for him, I will be sooooooooo happy!!!

I Love...



In 5-10 years, when I'm in a Jada and Will type of marriage, I'm going to have extravagant dinner parties in our Manhattan penthouse and play Sinatra while I cook Cucina Italiana.

I Wrote This Today @ 4:23 AM...


Don’t celebrate when you’re a little great
Keep going until you’re the best
Finish what you started
And you’ll have more than a little success
You have goals, achieve them, they’re hard to accomplish but it’s in your fate
Do your best on time, the great ones are never late
Don’t rush, just be effective, know your worth but step
Outside of your comfort zone often, but have integrity in what you rep
LOVE. Show and give often, and have a special ONE in your life
who knows what you think about them, because you give them glory not strife
A throne and a beach chair, two, better yet one so u can share
Cuddle, collaborate, together, you’ll act on things that u care
About each other and the world, take care of all of your goals
All that glitters can be platinum, after you amplify the gold

Spread Benevolence!

Everytime I would send the "good morning" emails to my inner-circle, I would end with: "Spread benevolence and make your dreams come true. L'chaim!". Think about that. My dad gave me an incredible speech at my bat mitzvah and he quoted Carole King and said:

"You've got to wake up every morning with a smile on your face and show the world all the love in your heart. People are gonna treat you better you'll find, yes you will, that you're as beautiful as you feel."

That speech in accordance with my mom's constant advice to "keep your shoulders back, held up high and act like you own the place" has molded me into Sterling Platinum. Everyday I thank God (multiple times) for blessing me with such amazing parents.

Yesterday, Bill talked about the wonderful advice Warren Buffet gives him. I found this and it really illuminated everything for me. Note that date at the top, April 23 (my birthday!)

GATEway to the Future



I had the opportunity to spend time with a lovely man today. His name is Bill Gates. Let me tell you; I completely underestimated his social skills. We tend to judge people in the computer science field, label them as "nerds"; but I knew BG was a certified baller when he showed me this hilarious video
about what he plans to do when he retires this summer from Microsoft.


BG's vocab is ON POINT. Not only that but he never seems caught off-guard, answers every question without hesitation, no "um," "like" or "ya know" rhetoric. People think it's cool just because he's rich but what I was impressed with is that he grants $3 billion to charity a year and is not leaving anything to his children. He is trying to instill an impeccable work ethic in them so they can create billion-dollar empires, too, and then save the world with their profits. Bill told me his best friend is Warren Buffet and he learned a lot of non-technological stuff from him. I think he would also get a long great with Obama. Hopefully if he wins, BG can be his runningmate like the video infers and they can save the world together. That would be dope!

Bienvenidos!

That means "Welcome" in case you don't speak Spanish. I do. I probably will speak a lot of EspaƱol on this blog so get excited for my Mamacita moods... who knows what may trigger them... For months people close to me have been encouraging me to start a blog. I send Rev Run-esque "Good Morning" emails to my inner-circle most days but now the time has come (drumroll please) for me to share some of my secrets with you. "What motivates Sterling?" "How did she get to where she is today?" "Who are Sterling's closest friends and who does she just get photographed with to benefit the company?" All these questions and more will get answered as I give you a glimpse of a day in the life of moi You'll find out what turns me on, what turns me off and what may, if you're lucky, keep me coming back for more. Get excited!
