Nobody to share...

People come into your life for a Reason, for One Season or  for Lifetime. 

When you know which one it is, you will know what to do for each person. 

When someone comes into your life for a "Reason" ... it is usually to meet a need you have expressed. They have come to assist you through a difficulty, to provide you with guidance and support, to aid you physically, emotionally or spiritually. They may seem like a godsend, and they are! They are there for the reason you need them to be there. Then, without any wrongdoing on your part or at an inconvenient time, this person will say or do something to bring the relationship to an end. Sometimes they die. Sometimes they walk away. Sometimes they act up and force you to take a position. What we must realize is that our need has been met, our desire fulfilled, their work is done. Their prayers were answered. And now it is time to go. 

When people come into your life for a "Season", it is because your turn has come to share, grow and learn. They bring you an experience of peace or make you laugh. They may teach you something you have never done. They usually give you an unbelievable amount of joy ... Believe! It's real! But only for a "Season". 

When someone comes into your life for a "Lifetime" he teaches you lessons for life: things you must build to have a solid emotional foundation. Your job is to accept the lesson, love the person and put what you have learned to use in all other relationships and areas of your life. It is said that love is blind but friendship is clairvoyant, and we just say: Thank you for being part of my life.
If you have had the bless of having even one person in your life for a Reason, or for a Season or for a Lifetime... 

Stop here and just SMILE. 

WORK as if you do not need the money... 

LOVE as if you had never been hurt... 
And DANCE as if no one is watching you...

Because the greatest risk in life is... 

"having NOBODY to share your life".

Dreaming...

I was wondering how funny some things are... 

Tomato prevents from one thing, onion prevents from another, chocolate is good but chocolate is also bad, a daily glass of wine is okay, but every sip of alcohol is harmful. 

We must drink plenty of water, but do not overdo it because it's not good... 

After all those healthy discoveries, I think it's safer not change my habits. 

I am quite sure of what is good and of what is bad for my health. 

To have pleasure makes me feel very good... 

Sleeping good makes me feel brand new... 

Reading a good book makes me dream and fly... 

Travelling makes me tense before boarding, but after enjoying the trip I feel five years younger... 

Long air travel does not swell my legs; it swells my brain, 'cause I come back full of ideas... 

Fighting is bad because causes me heart arrhythmia... 

Seeing people having stupid atitude hits my heart and makes me sick.

Witnessing people throwing trash through out the car window makes me lose all faith in the human being. 

And TV news? ... doctors should forbid them - it hurts!!! 

Walking is good, dancing is good, staying silent when a discussion is on fire, does very well to my soul! 

I exercise self-control and still wake up the next day without feeling sorry for nothing. 

Waking up in the morning regretting what I said or what I did last night is injurious to my health! 

And spending the rest of the day without the courage to apologize, is even worse! 

Not apologizing for our blunders causes cancer. No tomatoes,  or mozzarella to prevent it. 

Going to the movies, get a central place in the ranks of the background, not having anyone impeding our vision, no cell phone ringing and the film is spectacular... Wow! This is so good!

Cinema is better for health than popcorn... 

Good conversation is better than bad "funny" jokes... 

Exercise is better than surgery... 

Good humor is better than anger... 

Close friends are better than influential people... 

Saving money is better than spending unconciously and stay in debt.

Questions are better than doubts. 

And dreaming...well...

Dreaming is the best of all!!!

The silence of the wolves...

Think of someone who is powerful ... 

This person fights and screams like a chicken, or looks and silences, like a wolf? 

Wolves do not scream... 

They have an aura of strength and power. 

Observe in silence... 

Only the powerful,  wolves, men or women, respond to a verbal attack with silence. 

Besides, who avoids saying anything he wishes will rarely regret for hurting someone with harsh and thoughtless words. 

Exactly that's why, the first and most obvious sign of power over himself is the silence at critical moments. 

If you are silent, just observing the problem, it shows you're thinking, and have no time for futile debates. 

If it is a discussion that has already left the ground of reason, who silences shows that has already won, even when the other side insists on shouting he is defeated. 

Watch... 

Smile... 

Silence... 

Go ahead... 

Remember that there are moments to speak and there are moments to silence. 

Choose which of these moments is the right one, even if you have to struggle for it. 

For some reason, probably cultural, we are trained to the false idea that we are obliged to answer all questions and respond to all attacks. 

Not true! 

You should answer only to whatever you want to answer and only reacts to whatever you want to. 

You are not even required to answer your personal phone. 

Speaking is a choice, not a requirement, even though it seems so. 

You can choose the silence... 

Also, you will not have to regret things you say on thoughtless moments.

"Xenocrates", more than three hundred years before Christ, defended his saying: 

"I regret things I say, but never my silence." 

Respond with silence when needed. 

Use smiles, not sarcastic smiles, but real ones. 

Use the look, use a hug or use anything else not to respond at times.

You will find that silence can be the most powerful among many responses, and at the right time, the most comprehensive and real of all of them...

Do you agree???

Ellipsis...

...I love ellipsis ...! 
They are the most perfect gift for the beginning, middle or end you can give to a sentence... 
They bring expectation, mystery ... 
They are always there, filling the space of what we do not know, do not want or simply prefer not to say...
Or to show that we know exactly which word or words fit on those three dots... 
Ellipsis are not final... 
Not one, but three! Three points side by side, the three Mary stars...
An outcome that suggests continuity ... or not... 
The comma divides the phrase in many parts, the pencil or the pen want to separate. 
Points end the phrase, give it a termination in accordance to the idea that you want to send. 
But they, the ellipsis, serve to all of that... 
And how lovely is to see those three drops between words that reflect our eyes ... 
Represent the yes, the no ... but mainly the maybe... We can use them to say we love a person, or that we hate, or simply to say: " I miss you "... 
If I come to you and say: I ... I ... 
It's sufficient! There they are... 
And no matter what I would say... 
Could be any bullshit, but you will want to know ... and because of them!...the ellipsis... 
The popular "three dots" are a fabulous feature of our writing... 
Stop to think: Many people say that we need to read between the lines ... 
That's why I say that what we need is to read the ellipsis!...
They are worth more than a thousand words ... or just one!... 

And you know what? ... 
If you do not want to say with all the words ... 
I will not say either...
But I... I...
That's it... :)))

A Vision of Death

Death, in itself, is a ready joke. 

Dying is ridiculous...

You agree dining with your love, 

is in full dental treatment, have plans for next week, 

need to authenticate a document notarized, need to put gas in your car and...

Dies in the afternoon? 

HOW IS THIS??? 

And the e-mails that you have not opened, the book that was half read,  the phone call you promised to give in the evening for a client? 

I do not know where they got this idea: 

TO DIE !!! 

In exchange for what? You spent more than 10 years of your life in a high school, studying chemical formulas that will not serve for anything in your future, but remained there, took the tests, 

and went ahead. 

Practiced much gyms, almost gasped, but did not give up. 

You spent sleepless dawns studying to get well for college even without being sure of what you would do of your life, full of doubts about your chosen profession, but it was time to decide, then you decided, and once again you went ahead ... 

From one moment to another, 

it all ends in a collision on the freeway, 

a clogged artery, a shot fired by a delinquent who enjoyed your tennis.

WHAT IS IT???

Dying is a joke... 

Forces you to leave on the best of the party, without saying goodbye to anyone, 

without having danced with the most beautiful girl, 

without having had time to listen to your favorite music again. 

You left home with your  shirts hanging on hangers, your  damp towel on the clothesline, and also some bills to be paid. 

Others will be forced to pack up your stuff, tinkering in your drawers, 

to erase the tracks that you left during a lifetime. 

Just you who always said: I'll take care myself of my stuff!!! 

What a macabre joke...

You leave without taking coffee 

and maybe you will not have lunch, 

walks down a street and may not reach the next corner, begin to speak and may not conclude what you mean. 

You always make your medical exams, do not smoke, drink only socially, enjoy healthy food and love thin and healthy women and dies on a saturday morning. 

Is this to be taken seriously? 

Having more than one hundred years old, come on, the eternal sleep may be welcome. 

In that age there is not much to do, the body does not follow the mind, and the mind has also prorates, not to mention that there are almost nothing stored in the drawers. 

Ok, time to rest in peace... 

But before living all life offers us to live ? 

Dying early is a transgression, undoes the natural order of things. 

Dying is an exaggeration! 

And, as we know, the exaggeration is the raw material of the jokes. 

But this joke is not funny! 

So live your life intensily and enjoy all your good moments. 

Postpone ... Postpone and Postpone ... 

Will be always the best of ways?

I don't think so...

Do not cling to small and useless things in life ...

Tell those you love about your feelings, hug them tight, kiss them everyday... 

And forgive ... 

ALWAYS !!!

A love affair with ourselves

Good children know the preface to the story of their parents. 
Bright children go much further, they know the most important chapters of their parents lives. 

Good young people prepare for success. 
Bright young people prepare for the defeats. They know that life is a risk contract and there are no roads without accidents. 

Good young people have good dreams or discipline. 
Bright young people have dreams and discipline. Because dreams without discipline produce frustrated people who never turn their dreams into reality, and discipline dreamless produces servants who execute orders, that do everything automatically and without thinking. 

Good students hide certain intentions, but fascinating students are transparent. They know that who is not loyal to his conscience has an unpayable debt to himself. Do not want, as some politicians, success at any price. They just want the success achieved with sweat, intelligence and transparency. Because they know that it is better the truth that hurts than the lie that produces false relief ... 

The greatness of a man is not in how much he knows, but in how he realizes that he does not know everyhting. The destination is not often inevitable, but sometimes a matter of choice. Our life is made of choices... Who makes choice, write his own story, builds his own way. 

Dreams do not determine where we will get, but produce the necessary strength to get us out of the place we are. Dream of the stars so that you can at least step on the moon. Dream on the Moon so you can at least tread upon the high mountains. Dream of the high hills, so you can have dignity when crossing the valleys of the losses and frustrations. 

Good students learn to numerical mathematics, fascinating students go beyond learning the mathematics of emotion, which has no exact account and that breaks the rule of logic. In this math, you just learn to multiply when you learn to share, you can only win when you learn to lose, you can only receive when you learn to donate. 

A smart person learns from his mistakes, a wise person goes beyond, learns from the mistakes of others, because he is a great observer. 

And If we are wise people and find a great love in our life, we should cultivate it. Because without love, life becomes a river without a source, a sea without waves, a history without adventure! 
But we should never forget, that at  first we must have a love affair with ourselves.

Augusto Cury

Cheers

I may have faults, feel anxious and annoyed 

sometimes, but I do not forget that my life is the 

world's largest company for me.

And I can prevent it from going bankrupt.

Being happy for me is to recognize that life is worth 

living, despite all the challenges, misunderstandings 

and periods of crisis. 

Being happy for me is to stop being a victim of the 

problems and become the author of my own history. 

It is to cross deserts outside myself, but being able 

to find an oasis in the deepest of my soul. 

Being happy for me is not being afraid of my own 

feelings. It's to be able to talk about myself. It is 

having the courage to hear "no."

It is to have the security of receiving criticism, even 

unfair.

Being happy for me is to thank God every morning 

for the miracle of life!

"CHEERS TO LIFE AND TO HAPPINESS!!!"
