What is the most embarrassing thing that has ever happened to you?

It happens everyday. So probably the most embarrassing one is the most recent one

Embarrasing: The day the Fire Inspector turned up in the office on my birthday and I shouted at him ‘Oh no, you’re not going to take your clothes off are you?’

Served a purpose, my boss and I had been relocated to an office that really didn’t want us there so it was very icey – until that moment when we all laughed all day and it broke the ice.

The most recent which one?We might guess?Dear Paulo,give us an example.
To me was very embarassing when in faculty I had given an incomplete answer,and when proffessor was scorning me,I become red,blushing heavily.Everybody looked at me in a strange way.I couldnt help,was very embarassing.Now I laugh on it.Its not such a big deal.

Mistakes I can handle without embarrassment at all, we all make them and learn from them do we not?
Friends will laugh with you, but some will laugh “at you” and these are the ones that cause embarrassment, learn to ignore the ones who relish in your mistake! they are not worthy of your thoughts!

Anon asks how to get back in touch with a dream? this is a very thought provoking question is it not?
Does a dream die or become eroded until almost forgotten?
Or at some point does your head tell your heart that it will always remain a dream, and to get on with real life?
Do we confuse dream with fanatasy?
I guess the “keyword” is “achievable dream”?

Sorry Paulo! I forgot it is your site not mine lol

to Anon:why do u want the same dream?leave the idea and find your dream now+a+day(excuse me but i still can*t find the simbols on my board),make it happen and live your life happy for ever and ever :)

the most embarrising thing i manage to remember is finding the job and the boss i have now ,i*m working there almost 3 years,and the thing is that i still do not understand this my fortune, cos i*m working with all of my heart and every day is even better from the previous..hope this time does not finish.for ever and ever.

You know? I cannot remember! I do a lot of “silly” things, that I am certain my coworkers would never do (for example), but I just don’t get embarrassed. jajajaja…it is true!

I don’t know where I should email my questions, so am just putting it down here: “If I have forgotten my dream, or let go of it during my past, in such a way that I cannot remember it clearly any more; is there a way that I can get back in touch with it? If so, how?”

Thanks!

My dear Paulo Coelho, I could ..distinguish from you videos, and of course in your books, that you are a shy person. It is the child’s soul who sees the world new everyday. Thank you for your kindness and delicate soul.[Ψυχή]
Love,
Thelma

les choses les plus embarassantes sont les choses que l’on ne comprend pas , les choses qui nous dérangent car cela dérange nos vérités , ou nos convictions , ou notre façon de vivre , ou notre mode de vie

L’embarras est une gêne , un malalaise … car il nous met face à nous même et nous dérange dans notre fort intérieur

Etre à l’écoute , progresser , apprendre , ne pas avoir peur de …être plus confiance en , être plus ouvert

Things most embarassantes are the things which we do not understand, the things which disturb us because it disturbs our truths, either our convictions, or our way of living, or our lifestyle

The embarrassment is an embarrassment, a malalaise because it puts us in front of us even and disturbs us in our strong inside

Be for the listening, progress, learn(teach), not be afraid of being more confidence(trust), of being more opened
