About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Improve myself!

ABOUT ME

Not that easy to explain... not that hard to get. Maybe just another human being kinda lost in all this nonsense, who is really making an effort to pay attention to the journey rather than to its suposed destination.

PHILOSOPHY

The Universe is not an idea of mine;
My idea of the universe is an idea of mine.
Night doesnt fall before my eyes;
My idea of night falls before my eyes.
Apart from my thinking and my having thoughts
The night concretely falls,
And the stars' shimmering exists like a weighable thing.
- Fernando Pessoa

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

When I was a child, I saw the chameleon that lived at the mango tree in my yard hit my dog several times... and even so, my dog kept insisting on messing with it (and getting hit by it) for years and years!

Such a human behavior for a dog, dont you think!?

Teach, Learn, Share

If I would teach something... it would be:
Remmember to be aware of your ignorance and open to new outlooks!
