About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Be happy!!!

ABOUT ME

I'm open minded, honest, sincere. I like to speak directly.
I care about others, starting from those sitting next to me.
I love children, I feel them so close to me, they are so innocent and they still see the world as it should be.
I would like to have a job that allows me to work with people.
I control things, don't wanto to be slave to them.
I hate indifference and hypocricy.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is too short and beautiful to waste it. I want to live it now in the best way possible.

A day without laughter is a day wasted.

Nothing is permanent in this wicked world - not even our troubles.

Failure is unimportant. It takes courage to make a fool of yourself (All three quotations by Charlie Chaplin).

The following poem describes perfectly my personal philosophy.

Muere lentamente
Texto de Pablo Neruda
Muere lentamente quien se transforma en esclavo del habito, repitiendo todos los días los mismos trayectos, quien no cambia de marca, no arriesga vestir un color nuevo y no le habla a quien no conoce.Muere lentamente quien hace de la televisión su guía. Muere lentamente quien evita una pasión, quien prefiere el negro sobre blanco y los puntos sobre las "ies" a un remolino de emociones, justamente las que rescatan el brillo de los ojos, sonrisas de los bostezos, corazones a los tropiezos y sentimientos.Muere lentamente quien no voltea la mesa cuando esta infeliz en el trabajo, quien no arriesga lo cierto por lo incierto para ir detrás de un sueño, quien no se permite por lo menos una vez en la vida, huir de los consejos sensatos.Muere lentamente quien no viaja, quien no lee, quien no oye música, quien no encuentra gracia en si mismo. Muere lentamente quien destruye su amor propio, quien no se deja ayudar. Muere lentamente, quien pasa los días quejándose de su mala suerte o de la lluvia incesante.Muere lentamente, quien abandonando un proyecto antes de iniciarlo, no preguntando de un asunto que desconoce o no respondiendo cuando le indagan sobre algo que sabe.Evitemos la muerte en suaves cuotas, recordando siempre que estar vivo exige un esfuerzo mucho mayor que el simple hecho de respirar. Solamente la ardiente paciencia hará que conquistemos una espléndida felicidad.
