A coffee and a smile

A brief history that allows us to understand that happiness is not a season of arrival, but a way of traveling ...   ... I am the mother of three children of 14, 12 and 3 years old, and I recently finished my university career. The last class I took was Sociology. The teacher was very inspired with the qualities that I wanted to see, with which every human being had been graced. His latest project was titled "SMILE". He asked the class to come out and smile at three people and document their reactions. I am a very friendly person and always smile at everyone and say "hello," so I thought this would be "a piece of cake," literally. As soon as the project was assigned to us, my husband, my young son and I went to McDonald "s a cold March morning, it was the way to share a game time with our son. We were trained waiting to be taken care of, when suddenly everyone was back, even my husband. I didn't move an inch and an overwhelming feeling of pan...

For the winner there is no sacrifice

Sacrifice means tolerating what we do not want ... To succeed is to have had the fortitude to achieve our dreams. Traditionally, sacrifice has been considered as the path to realization; which leads us to consider the following reflections: Does the climber consider it a sacrifice to conquer the top of a mountain? Are not the obstacles to be overcome for him, as part of the prize he wishes to achieve? For a mother, is it a sacrifice to have a child? Or is it the joy of giving birth to a new human being? Is it a sacrifice to educate a child or does it represent our genetic continuity and the satisfaction of inheriting a being superior to the world? When we talked about the heroes who bequeathed our freedom, did they sacrifice for us, or for them it was intolerable to live in slavery. After analyzing these questions, we will surely conclude that sacrifice means having to tolerate what we do not want; for example: For the climber to stop and have to return without conquering the top...

Beyond Everest

Climbing is like life itself, there are hard blows and intense emotions, to ascend towards a goal what gives us the most satisfaction is to constantly overcome ourselves and to be giving our best effort ...   We all have our own Everest to climb; Some have been lucky enough to arrive and others constantly strive to achieve it, the most important thing is to persevere. Some climber would say to himself: “Slowly I turn down, the enormous emptiness at my feet seizes my body, but my mind clings to the mountain, I am cold, very cold, the icy water that the sun has melted up penetrates the sides stealing the heat that I have left, about to fall, and at the same time I feel that I begin to levitate, hypothermia! ... wake up !, this remote wall in the Arctic circle and that no one had climbed will not be your grave !. Centimeter to centimeter advanced. When I reach the ledge I know that the summit will be ours. " The desire to overcome the human being, either by the competitive spirit ...

Understand the heart

To understand is to love and to love is to forgive. Virtue easy to explain, difficult to apply, which is only achieved by understanding each other's world. If we strive to understand, we will be able not only to preserve, but to increase our love.   Finally they separated, they had lived as a couple for some years; Apparently they were happy. In the opinion of others, it seems that nothing was going to separate them; but normally what happens in the intimacy of a couple nobody knows, because they have not lived it. It is easy to judge others, but how difficult it is to understand the world of living meanings. Their relationship had become an endless tragedy, they argued for everything and each day they were offended and humbled more. The purpose was to prove to the other that he was wrong and in a few things they agreed. Of course, his good times every day were less. There are, of course, reasons to love, as well as reasons to stop doing so. Everything is by convergence and, wit...

Difference between failure and defeat

The big difference between failure and defeat is that the first case is accepted as a lesson to be assimilated, a small step towards the final goal. The failures show us the wrong path, which once recognized we will not travel again.  Like the fox, who has earned the astute qualifier, because he hardly falls back into the same trap. Often, the cloud that obscures our present serves to illuminate our future.  Instead, defeat is the decision not to try again, to give in to obstacles, to renounce the possibility of converting failure into success. We are defeated only when we consider ourselves defeated.  The obstacles in the path of the weak become steps on the path of the winners. The winners have the vision of the objective they want to achieve, which turns the obstacles into challenges to overcome, similar to the mountaineer, who visualizes the top of the mountain as the objective to be achieved, converts the obstacles and dangers of ascent as challenges to dominat...
