There is a reason this moment is called the present — because every opportunity you get to pay attention to what’s going on is truly a gift. So if a circumstance is intense or feelings are running high, learn to focus on the reality going on in front of you rather than running away or trying to soften it with some illusion of your own making. Comprehending the totality of an experience is invaluable beyond words.

The tax which will be paid for the purpose of education is not more than the thousandth part of what will be paid to kings, priests and nobles who will rise up among us if we leave the people in ignorance.
Education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire.
William Butler Yeats

vi piace perché vi piace!

Vi piace moltissimo, vi piace perché la sua voce è molto sensuale, vi piace perché ha coraggio, intraprendenza e ardore. Vi piace perché è vivace.

E poi vi piace perché vi piace!

There’s nothing wrong with ambition.

It gets bad press. But unless you’re totally ruthless and hellbent on clmbering over others to get to the top, it’s actually a healthy fulfilment of our potential, to aim high and work at a high level.

Turn your mind to your career and ambitions, now: where you’re going, where you want to go and what you want to do once you get there.

O impossível também é algo que nunca se tentou

Cada um de nós tem o seu próprio ritmo e limite. Quando souber respeitar o seu limite aprenderá a conquistar o que deseja.

Teimando em quebrar essas regras, encontrará desilusão e infelicidade.

Make like a Venetian blind on a beautiful morning,

and stay open.

Let in the light!

La luna y el amor, cuando no crecen, disminuyen.

Entre a lembrança do passado e a expectativa do futuro, há uma estreita passagem chamada Agora em que o tempo não entra.

Quien monta un tigre corre el riesgo de no poderse bajar nunca.
