OVERCOMING
Everyone at some point in life we go through difficult times. Mountains and valleys are changed all the time, straight roads give way to winding streets and potholed. But as in mechanics, have compensation devices. Just as springs and dampers, we have the ability to overcome obstacles, without which, all mankind would be extinct.
The resilience, word mechanical origin, is the ability of certain materials have to recover its original shape even after suffering pressures and deformations. Likewise, life requires us to be resilient, as indeed would imposível move forward if we allowed 100% of our frustrating experiences would affect our emotional. That would be traumatic! Our fears and uncertainties have taken the place of our dreams and depression would be our cocoon.
If you got this far, you already should have enfretado a million problems in life. But know that true greatness is suapera them without letting your heart be hurt. the big question in life are not the problems themselves, but how they affect us, and after addressing them, how we affect others.
Victor Frankl, after surviving the Nazi death camps wrote: "Everything can be taken from a person, except the last of the human freedoms - to choose one's attitude in any given set of circumstances and to choose one's own way."
So it's not luck nor chance, but it is our attitude toward the storm that will determine our victory!
Good day my dear!

BLACK & WHITE
Act with intolerance, wanting everything to be perfect, and expect people to never make mistakes is to want the impossible.
We are not born machines, we not come as any anti-error device, we are evolutionary creatures whose improvement occurs with failures.
When Thomas Edison was asked about his 10,000 attempts to create the light bulb, he said: "I learned 9,999 ways not to do wrong."
Be intolerant is to be "square", incapable of admitting winding roads. After all, the world is full of tolerances: shock absorbers, springs, rubber, corrective, padded, wheels, etc. It would be impossible to create anything without considering imperfections and variations thereof.
"It is not the right angle that attracts me. Neither the straight, hard, inflexible created by man. What attracts me is the free and sensual curve. The curve I find in the mountains of my country, in the sinuous course of its rivers, in the waves of the sea, the body of the favorite woman. Curves is made all the universe. "(OSCAR NIEMEYER)
So stop being "square" wanting people to adapt to us, wanting them to be perfect and meet our expectations. We who should understand them as emotional creatures and evolving, which improve and adapt over time. Want to control people is to believe that the wind never changes direction, because after all, even somewhere on the planet, the wind does curve.
Beauty is in the variety. You need to be different to make a difference in the world!
Hugs!
