About Me

CURRENT MISSION

O The way to hapiness is... the way.
O caminho para a felicidade e´..o caminho.

ABOUT ME

I like to wake up every day full of life and when I go to bed , feeling like I didn't waste a single minute.
Gosto acordar todo dia cheio de vida e quando vou para cama, me sentir que nao desperticei nem1 minuto.

PHILOSOPHY

The way to happiness is the way itself. Each minute that goes by we ll never get it back. I d like to learn and teach and make a positive impact on the people I meet as I hope they have on me too. "We're too small to know what God wants of us, so thank God for being alive and thank Him even for the pain'' Aristoteles, and ''Between
nothing and pain, humans choose pain'' Soloviof
