VIDEO: Kid President tells us to 'be awesome'

Meet Kid President; Be encouraged.

A friend had forwarded this yesterday and honestly, after listening to 9-year-old Robbie Novak, yes, 9 years old, my day was instantly brightened.

PEOPLE reports the bite-sized kid in the suit and red tie reminding us to stop being boring 'because you're gooder than that' is a third grader from West Tennessee.

He keeps a blog called Kid President, tweets, has a Facebook page and is just too darn funny, and what's more, he's positive, Robbie's brother-in-law Brad Montague told Tennessee's Jackson Sun.

Robbie appears on the "Today Show" this morning.

Parting thoughts from Robbie in his latest 'Pep Talk' video: "In high school, what if [Michael Jordan] had quit if he didn't make the [basketball] team? He would have never made "Space Jam." And I love Space Jam. What would be your Space Jam? What would you create that would make the world awesome? Nothin' if you keep sitting there."

Have a great day.

Scene Writer Bravetta Hassell’s interests run the gamut: words, books, nature, music, art, furniture, writing, food and Snooki … Did she say Snookie?? No, no, not really Snookie, but squeezed in amid the high and medium brow is the real and made up life that entertainment continues to air and create, which makes Bravetta ponder upon, sing with, look incredulously at, laugh out loud about and then return to reality and her other interests. The prospect of dabbling in all of it and exploring what she was hasn’t was enough for the Alexandria, Va., native to pack her bags and go west to Green Country. Bravetta joined the Tulsa World in February 2012 after receiving degrees in journalism from Northwestern and Hampton universities. She’s previously interned at such newspapers as The Washington Post and the Knoxville News Sentinel and has worked in science publishing and education.
