		<description>Dearest Paulo and Friends,

i haven't written here much lately.. Don't know why i've been slightly distanced.. I've read most of your comments and i guess i just needed to be a bit silent for a while. So now i'm back from hiding and am here to give you my two cents comments :) 

I think that in life, we never stop growing, even if we don't realise it. I feel that although isaac has died, someone else or something else will happen in order to make one think again. Think about who they are and what they believe to be true. As they think, they make a choice, and one experiences the repercussions of this choice. All these experiences builds who we are and slowly we grow with every moment. Its so often things that challenge us in life, often bad things, helps us find our strength, and builds who we are. Its important to keep a clear head in these situation and not be blinded by the hurt, but also be grateful for finding the strength to overcome that hurt. Not everything is as bad as it seems.. We just have to look at the bigger picture and put things into perspective.

Kuku

i wish you all of the very best as you strive for your dreams..i pray that you will continue to persist until you fulfill all of them, even when life challenges you.

oh and friends.. I love you all :)
thank you for being
Yajna</description>

		<description>Hi Paulo.

Thank you for sharing this story. It reminds me of the wisdom found in your books where you reveal that less can actually say more.

This post reminds me of a similar story about a senior monk.  His peers were after him to discharge an obnoxious pupil who was always swearing and didn't strike them as "monk material." 

"Send him on his way," they urged.  But the senior monk refused.

"I will not do that," he replied.  "This pupil is God's greatest gift to me."

This stunned his peers.

The senior monk said, "since this pupil has enterd my life, I have become more humble than ever before."

His peers simply looked at him, confused.

"You see, before I met this pupil, I thought I knew everything about patience, understanding, love, compassion and unconditional forgiveness.  This pupil reminds me every day how much I still have to learn."</description>

		<description>POr eso es importante la democracia, la libre opinion, la oposición y la crítica.
(cuando cada una de ellas se utiliza de la manera correcta)Son factores o armas necesarias para que una sociedad avance, y las grandes transformaciones sean posibles. 

Nice Story !
God Bless.</description>

		<description>Two men were having a drink at a hotel bar, not together, but sitting side by side. 

One of the men, who had beside him a large trophy awarding him for some achievement turned to the other man and said without modesty, "Today is the greatest day of my life. I studied for ten years, worked another twenty to get to the top of my field, and just tonight my colleagues and community have recognized my greatest achievement."

The other man who was a complete stranger could think of nothing to say, so he congratulated the man and wished him more success in the future. In thanks, and partially because of the celebrating man's already inebriated state, he offered to buy the stranger a drink.

Curious about the strange man he had just bought a single malt Scotch for, the man asked what was his story. The stranger replied, "I am also celebrating."

"Celebrating!" The man exclaimed, "What's the ocassion?"

"I was an orphan. I never went to school so I had to teach myself. My lack of education ruled out the chance of any real profession, but I took what I could do and worked as hard as I could. Since I travel a lot for my work I don't get to see my wife or daughter that often. But tonight before I came down for dinner my daughter told me she loved me. And she's my greatest achievement."</description>
