Listen and you will be wise. The beginning of wisdom is silence.
Pitágoras

I learnt the silence with the chatterboxes, the tolerance with the intolerant ones, the kindness with the wicked ones; and, for stranger it seems, I am grateful to all those teachers.

Thought for the day Sep 12, 2011:

Every man is a damn fool for at least five minutes every day; wisdom consists in not exceeding the limit.

Keep on crunching and have a nice day...

I am not a wise man I have at least 2 hours of foolish and always exceed the limit. Is there a limit?

Well no one is perfect, some more for prima-dona and some trying to show how equilibrated they are. I prefer to say stupid things once in a while than to go completly nuts. Emotions are like a dam if you dont let pass no water the dam will be destroyed and will destroy all in it's pass.

Just as humans can hear the voice of their own critical consciousness, each time the question or decision-making fragile knocks at the door, never missing the opportunity to feel the inner strength that goes beyond ordinary reasoning in form of belief.

It is a kind of support for the life of transcendental power, which includes the commands of our yearning for happiness, called Faith that travels on the wings of hope.

In the Jewish-Christian faith is the first theological virtue, such as adherence to one God, Lord of our lives. Because of this belief, stands a range of endocrine emotions hormone whose reactions are able to ward off diseases, from body and spirit.

Truth is that humanity always has on their feelings, these reservoirs of faith, to identify that God is with us.

Friendship is held to be the severest test of character. It is easy, we think, to be loyal to a family and clan, whose blood is in your own veins.

Sometimes we got to believe in things that we cant see.

Sometimes we got to believe in ourselves.

Só é manifestamente importante saber-se onde se está quando se tem para onde ir

Only it is clearly important to know where you are when you have somewhere to go

Yet with great toil all that I can attain
By long experience, and in learned schools,
Is for to know my knowledge is but vain,
And those that think them wise, are greatest fools.

SIR WILLIAM ALEXANDER, EARL OF STIRLING, The Tragedy of Croesus

"Filho é um ser que nos foi emprestado para um curso intensivo de como amar alguém além de nós mesmos, de como mudar os nossos piores defeitos para darmos os melhores exemplos e de como aprendermos a ter mais coragem. Isto mesmo! Ser Pai ou Mãe é o maior acto de coragem que alguém pode ter, porque é expor-se a todo tipo de dor, principalmente a da incerteza de estar a agir correctamente e a do medo de perder algo tão amado. Perder? Como? Não é nosso, recordam-se? Foi apenas um empréstimo".

"Son is a being that has been borrowed for a crash course in how to love someone other than ourselves, changing our worst faults to give the best examples and learn how to have more courage. That's right! Being a parent is the greatest act of courage that one can have, because it is exposed to all kinds of pain, especially the uncertainty to be acting properly and the fear of losing something so dear. losing how? We do not, remind it? it was just a loan. "

"For many years there was one thing that intrigued me: the feeling we get when we are between sleeping and waking, to have understood the secret of the world. That everything is simple and clear."

Some people drink to forget, I write to remember, recall, smile and cry for all this moments. And for a while remember you long before I am gone.

I didnt knew Einstein. I am not so old But for shure in a better world we will need all minds with all ideas to all world.

In spite I belong to the first I would never sacrifice the second. Someone as to keep us on track and someone as to keep us dreaming.

No dream is enough without bread and no bread is enough without dreaming. And nothing is enough without peace.

MY MISTAKE

My mistake is the intensity with which I live.
My mistake is the belief in feelings, emotions ...
Illusions of my honesty and sincerity ...

Many people spend money they do not have to buy things they do not need to impress people they not even like!

“Envy consists in seeing things never in themselves, but only in their relations. If you desire glory, you may envy Napoleon, but Napoleon envied Caesar, Caesar envied Alexander, and Alexander, I daresay, envied Hercules, who never existed.”

“Envy is the art of counting the other fellow's blessings instead of your own.”
