ABOUT ME
As my english is bad, I have great difficulty writing this profile. But I'll try to google translator. I'm a nice person. Objective, intelligent and insightful. As I have not only qualities, I'm not very flexible in certain respects. I do not like dishonesty, lies and manipulations. I like to hang out, meet people and talk a lot about everything ... I like mountains, waterfalls and rivers ... I love the night, I like to learn about other cultures and cuisine of other countries. I think it's good, you can have an idea.
PHILOSOPHY
Be better than yesterday ...
Here fits a poetry of Fernando Pessoa, one of the great poets of the Portuguese language.
Para ser grande, sê inteiro: nada
Teu exagera ou exclui.
Sê todo em cada coisa. Põe quanto és
No mínimo que fazes.
Assim em cada lago a lua toda
Brilha, porque alta vive.
Fernado Pessoa / Ricardo Reis, 14-2-1933

INSCRIÇÃO PARA UMA LAREIRA
A vida é um incêndio:
nela dançamos, salamandras mágicas
Que importa restarem cinzas
se a chama foi bela e alta?
Em meio aos toros que desabam,
cantaremos a canção das chamas!
Cantemos a canção da vida,
na própria luz consumida... (Mario Quintana)
