Myself

"Prefiero ganar un 1% del esfuerzo de 100 personas que el 100% de mi propio esfuerzo"

“Mientras uno siente que está sirviendo a los otros, es que la tarea está bien hecha. Cuando a uno solo le preocupa ayudarse a sí mismo, el trabajo es menos bueno: una ley tan inexorable como la

" I wish you first that you love,
And that as you love, you'll also be loved.
And if it's not that way, you'll be brief to forget
And after you forget, you don't bear any grudges.
I wish then, that it won't be like that, but if it is,
You'll know how to be, without despair.

I also wish you to have friends,
And that, even bad and inconsistant
They should be brave and loyal, and, that at least
there's one of them in who you can trust without a doubt.

And because life is like it is,
I also wish you have enemies.
Not too many nor too few, in the exact amount,
So that sometimes, you'll question your
Own certainties. And that among them,
There's one who's just and fair, so that you won't feel too sure.

I wish you also that you're useful,
But not indispensable.
And that at bad times,
When there's nothing else left,
That sense of usefulness will be enough
to keep you on you feet.

As well, I wish you to be tolerant,
Not with the ones that make few mistakes,
Because that's easy, but with the ones that make
a lot of mistakes, and inevitably do so,
and that by making good use of that tolerance,
you'll be an example to others.

I wish you that being young you don't mature too fast,
And that once grown up, you don't insist in returning to youth,
And that being old you don't dedicate yourself to despair.
Because every age has it's pleasure
And it's pain,
and it's necessary to let them flow among us.

By the way, I wish you to be sad.
Not the entire year, but a day.
But that in that day you'll figure out that
Daily laughter is good, usual laughter is lame,
and constant laughter is unhealthy.

I wish you to find out
With maxium urgency, above everything
and despite all, that there exist
and surround you, opressed beings
treated unjustly, and unhappy persons.

I wish you to (flirt censorship)
Feed a bird, and hear a goldfinch
rise triumphantly its early song,
because this way,
you'll feel good about nothing.

I wish you also to plant a seed,
Even if it's a tiny one, and that,
You may accompany it in it's growth,
So that you discover
Of how many lives is made a tree.

I wish you also to have money,
because it's necessary to be practical,
and that even once a year
you place some of that money in front of you
and you say "this is mine"
just to make clear
who owns who.

The same I wish you that none of your dear ones die,
But if someone dies, you may cry without regrets
And suffer without feeling guilty.

Finally I wish you that, being a man,
You'll have a good woman, and that being a woman,
You'll have a good man,
Tomorrow and the day after, and that when
You're exhausted and similing,
You'll talk about love to start over.

If all of these things come to be,
Then I have nothing else to wish you."

How to tell you there is always enough time?
That we only need look for it and take it for ourselves,
That no one sets rules but life
That life without certain rules loses shape
That our shape is not lost by allowing ourselves to open up
That opening up does not mean to love indiscriminately
That to love is not forbidden
That we are also allowed hate
That hatred and love are emotions
That aggression for its own sake hurts a lot
That wounds heal
That doors should not be shut
That the most important of all doors is our affection
That our affections are what define us
That to define ourselves we need not paddle against the current
That just because we use a stronger stroke does not imply we are drawing more
That looking for balance does not imply we are lukewarm
That to deny spoken words, implies creating distance
That finding oneself is so beautiful
That sex is part of the beauty of life
That life departs from sex
That wanting to know about someone is not mere curiosity
That to want to know everything about everyone is unhealthy curiosity
That it never hurts to be thankful
That self-determination does not mean things are to be done alone
That nobody wants to be alone
That to not be alone we must first give
That in order to give we must have first received
That in order to receive, we must first know how to ask
That knowing how to ask is not the same as giving ourselves away
That giving ourselves away is definitely not loving ourselves
That to be loved we must show who we are
That in order for someone to be, this person must first be helped
That to help someone is to encourage and to support them
That support is not flattery
That flattery is as pernicious as slapping someone across the face
That things are honest when done face-to-face
That no one is honest just because they do not steal
That the thief does not steal out of a desire to be a thief
That when there is no pleasure in doing things, we are not living
That to feel alive we must not forget that death exists
That we may be dead whilst being alive
That we feel with our mind and with our body
That we listen with our ears
That it is hard to be sensitive and not get hurt
That to not get hurt we build walls
That those who sow walls harvest nothing
That most of us are wall-building masons
That it would be much better to build bridges instead
That on them we are able to reach the other side and also return
That to return does not imply we are moving backwards
That going backwards may also be a means of moving forward
That by moving forward a long distance does not imply we wake up any closer to the Sun
How to tell you that no one set rules but life?

(Bruce Lee)

You must take advantage of every moment that you have left in the world, until the second one you consider more insignificant, you can use everything that is left of the rest of your life, always choose what makes you happy and believe in yourself, Happy Pride
