Doors of Life

There are times in our lives that we must make decisions, and those can change everything...
Some are hard to take and we can't go back, but one thing is certain, the path we chose to walk there will always be doors to pass through.
One door closes two opens, and never look back!

A litle bit of myself, i love to draw!

It's a hobbie that i have long time ago.

Triple Filter in Our Lives!

In ancient Greece, Socrates held a high reputation and was highly esteemed for his high knowledge. One day an acquaintance of the great philosopher approached him and said:

- Socrates, you know what I just heard about that friend of yours?

- Wait a minute - Socrates replied - Before telling me anything I'd like you to pass a test. It is called the"Triple Filter Test. "

- Triple filter?

- Yes - Socrates continued - Before you speak of my friend might be a good idea to take a moment and filterwhat you'll say. That's why I call it the triple filter.

He continued:

- The first filter is Truth. Are you absolutely sure that what you'll say is true?

- No - said the man - what happens is I heard ...

- Then - says Socrates - you didn't know if it's true.

- Now to the second filter, which is KINDNESS ... What you gonna tell me about my friend is GOOD?

- No, quite the contrary ...

- So - Socrates continued - want to tell me something bad about him, and moreover not know whether it istrue. But, well, it may still pass the third filter.

- the filter of USEFULNESS ...

- What you gonna tell me about my friend will be useful to me?

- No, I think not ...

- Well - concluded Socrates - if what you tell me is neither good nor even useful, much less true, why telling me?
 



Let's use the triple filter in our daily life, every time we talk about someone.

Life is a Contradiction

Remember those times we wanted to grow up fast?
Those times that we wanted have 18 and it seemed that won't reach fast?
We wanted to be aknowledge, we wanted to do what grown ups do,
We wanted to be like our fathers and mothers and so on.

Now we look back...
How i miss those times,
No obligations, no worries, life was so simple back then..
Now our thoughts are diferent we make a scene when is our birthday and we wanted to have our youth back.
But its too late..we need to live each day as it where our last day.

Well.. Growing old is mandatory, growing up is optional..

Lean how to Look

The World isn't always what it seem, we just need to learn how to look at it.
