e!

Phrases that touched my heart:

1. Tragedies left eternal marks, while glories left useless memories.
2. When the harvest is delayed, the fruits rot. When the problems are delayed, they do not stop growing.
3. A man has to choose. In this resides its force: In the power of his decisions.
4. The sense of my life is the one that I want to give to it.
5. The fear goes to where the inevitable thing begins, from there, it loses sense. And everything what we have left is the hope of to have made the right decision.
6. How many times I have seen that landscape without repairing in its beauty? How many times I had watched the sky without noticing that he was deep? How many times it had listened to the noises of Akbar around me without perceiving that they comprise of my life?
7. A man most choose and not accept its destiny.
8. The tragedy is not a punishment, but a challenge.
9. Each one must give a name to its life.
10. The people who return to their land with wonderful histories are those that have conquered everything what they wished, because they are not limited by the frustrations of the past.
11. The enemy is only a pretext to prove our strength.
12. How can we make something impossible? With enthusiasms.
13. Tragedies happen. We can discover the reason, blame to others, or imagine how different would have been our lives without them. But nothing of that is important: they already passed, period. From that point we must forget the fear that causes to us and initiate the reconstruction.
14. The destruction of Akbar was necessary so the forces that slept within all it inhabitants could wake up.
15. We stopped thinking about life and decided to live it.
16. - Sadness does not remain for always, when we walked in the direction of which always we wished.
    - it is always necessary to start off?
    - it is always necessary to know when a stage of the life finishes. There if you insist on remaining in it beyond of the necessary time, you lose the joy and the sense of rest. And you risk to be reprimanded by God.

Some of these phrases deserve a deeper reflection…. Or at least my thoughts:

#6 Reminds me my time in Argentina, at some point, I stop looking and enjoying my surroundings but I realized that everyday I spent there was "one more day" and "one day less". One more day of my life and one day less of Cordoba. That awaked my spirit again and helped me enjoy the surroundings in Cordoba once again and my own city's (when i came back) for the first time.

#10 and #13 are a personalized call for me! I have to forget the fear and start over again.

Last but not the least, #16… it sounds kinda contradictory to me… coz there are few tiny things that I still want to do in AIESEC (that is the direction I wish), but then, it is necessary to know when a stage of the life finishes…
the only thing I can say that I am still finding out the best way to move on :’(
