This should be always the case for everyone who shares his blessings to others who want to be of the same kind so to do the same to others and for others to follow sought.

“I counted my years and found that I have less time to live from here on than I have lived up to now.
I feel like that child who won a packet of sweets: he ate the first with pleasure, but when he realized that there were few left, he began to enjoy them intensely.
I no longer have time for endless meetings where statutes, rules, procedures and internal regulations are discussed, knowing that nothing will be achieved.
I no longer have time to support the absurd people who, despite their chronological age, haven't grown up.
My time is too short:
I want the essence,
my soul is in a hurry.
I don't have many sweets
in the package anymore.
I want to live next to human people,
very human,
who know how to laugh at their mistakes,
and who are not inflated by their triumphs,
and who take on their responsibilities.
Thus human dignity is defended and we move towards truth and honesty
It is the essential that makes life worth living.
I want to surround myself with people who know how to touch hearts, people who have been taught by the hard blows of life to grow with gentle touches of the soul.
Yes, I'm in a hurry, I'm in a hurry to live with the intensity that only maturity can give.
I don't intend to waste any of the leftover sweets.
I am sure they will be delicious, much more than what I have eaten so far.
My goal is to reach the end satisfied
and at peace with my loved ones
and my conscience.
We have two lives.
And the second begins when you realize you only have one.”~

This poem is a reality for everyone who wants to be more productive during his lifetime so for others to appreciate the blessings of being one of the same kind.

GREATNESS this is how it should be understood. . .

Greatness is not a destination, it is a continuous journey that never ends. It is a lot of small things done well every day in a great way.

Greatness is rarely achieved in the good days, it is achieved through times of adversity and daring challenges that confronts you each day and how you overcome them.

Greatness is coming face to face with difficulty, enduring pain, going through struggles and times of uncertainty, to encounter fear but still having the courage to carry on.

Greatness is choosing to fight through even when surrendering looks like the best option, It is going through all that life throws at you without losing sight of your goal.

Greatness is not achieved when the goal is reached but on the path towards the goal.
Greatness is not something in the distant future, it is right here, it is who you are, it is seen in how you live every day and the beautiful memories you leave in the heart of those who encounter you.
