Quote of the Day

by Paulo Coelho on August 25, 2008

By Paulo Coelho

The roller-coaster is my life;
life is a fast, dizzying game;
life is a parachute jump;
it’s taking chances, falling over
and getting up again;
it’s mountaineering;
it’s wanting to get to the very top of yourself
and feeling angry and dissatisfied
when you don’t manage it.
(Eleven Minutes)

Esse trecho que vc. cita parece que tem tudo a ver com o texto acima da ampulheta. Aliás que tem tudo a ver com o que acabei de ler, porque fui abrir o livro Onze Minutos: Tempo de nascer, tempo de morrer, tempo de plantar, tempo de curar, tempo de rir, tempo de construir, tempo de falar, tempo de amar………………
( só o lado bom…….)
Beijos,

When I do my emotional ups and downs (sorry ladies, I believe it is a female thing mostly) my husband starts singing; La Donna Mobile…and I cannot but get over the hysteria!

Even in the midst of Sunshine or Storms we should never give up – give away or waste our life ,we are here to live ,love ,risk and stay open to the possibilities that the universes gives us – with the right training we will reach the top of ourselves …Blessings Tania

Luck helps the brave ones..
Once you fell into the water,you must learn…swimming!
We must never forget that everything in this life, good or bad, has an end. Enjoy it….
LOVE,

Life is like a roller-coaster: it is fun, it is dangerous, unexpected, exciting, scaring, with ups and downs…on the road you can see learn and experience different things so that at the end of it looking back u can feel either happy or unhappy of the journey made….Life is ‘mountaineering, it’s wanting to get to the very top of yourself’ …but even if it seems that u cannot get there, you must get up and fight more , thinking only at the fullfilling result and you can really make it there…
georgiana, thank you for everything
