What's the difference of being different?

Yesterday I felt like Shrek... not belonging to the world.
I felt like a stranger and that made me feel really sad.
But you know what? Today I see a positive side of it.

I mean... what is the point of being like everyone?
Being different doesn't mean, in the first place, being wrong.
Being different means being yourself.
How many brilliant and talented people have contributed to the world? Weren't they different? That's why they could make the difference.

From this point of view, I kinda like the idea of being different. In fact, I love that!
Check out what people think about being different...

"In order to be irreplaceable one must always be different." (Coco Chanel)

"Be daring, be different, be impractical, be anything that will assert integrity of purpose and imaginative vision against the play-it-safers, the creatures of the commonplace, the slaves of the ordinary." (Cecil Beaton)

"Share our similarities, celebrate our differences." (M. Scott Peck)

"Always show the you in you that makes you the you that you are." (Chidinma Obietikponah)

"When we lose the right to be different, we lose the privilege to be free." (Charles Evans Hughes)

Therefore, we should always respect the difference and never let anyone bring us down.

Have a niiiiiiiiiiiiiice week! :o)

You can't be the same as everyone else, the only person you be is yourself.

Hey Yazi,

Nice hearing from you! :o)
It has been a while since my last post. I haven't had time to write...

I also thought about not having a blog anymore but I couldn't. It is important for me to express my feelings in words.

Every time I am feeling down I write a post about it in order to change my way to think.

Thank you for your support. It encourages me to keep writing. ;o)
Take care!

Changing your perspective

A few weeks ago there was this huge blackout in Brazil, caused by a technical problem in Itaipu dam, the second-largest hydroelectric power producer in the world ( Yahoo news here ). It was very weird and a bit scary to realize how dependent we are on eletricity. For hours there was no TV, no radio, no computer. Some cellphones weren't working and despite my notebook being ok, it seemed useless without internet. I was at home when it happened and I prayed for those people who were out of their homes at that time. I imagine how many of them were in the subway, in the elevator, at the office, alone on the street. I remembered people in hospital and all kinds of situation in which people are highly dependant on electricity. I took that time to think and I realized we should be always ready to live with little, even though the media keeps saying we need more and more, in this endless consumption world. I remember the day after the blackout some people would complain about missing a

My testimony

I can't forget their faces... Their way to look at me as if we had met before. Their request for my lap as if I were their mom. I can't forget their laughs... Their smiles as if their lives were only happiness. Their hugs as if we could stay like this forever. I can't forget that moment... With so much love for a stranger. A tough moment to say goodbye. These words represent exactly what I felt yesterday, when visiting (for the first time) an orphanage. I thank God for this opportunity, showing me life just the way it is (or it should be). When I left, all I could remember was a big lesson - of happiness , hope and true love .
