Edition 17
Hello folks,Curitiba in English on the way to 2010.
Like everybody or any institution, this is the moment we stop to think about our lives and future plans. But, it’s not easy... We are close to celebrating the 2009th birthday of Jesus Christ and, very soon after, the beginning of a new year.
2009 years and as John Lennon said, "the world is so wrong".
We must make it better.
Most people think they are unable to change the world, give up their dreams and accept things the way they are.
There is no room for conformity, my friend. We are grown up, we know what is right and wrong. Use your common sense and your heart.
We are usually enthusiastic about New Year’s resolutions, but when it comes to defining our attitudes we keep up the same routine.
2010 is a new chance. The economic scenario seems uncertain, but we must believe we can overcome all difficulties.
Dealing with the challenges to come will depend on our skills and attitudes. Don’t be afraid! Spur your hopes, think positive and put your best foot forward.
I read a fantastic sentence somewhere. “Fear builds walls whilst hope constructs bridges”.
Fill your heart with hope and chase your dreams.
God bless you all.
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
Nelson G. Santos
