4. Taboos, Rules?

1. TABOOS, RULES?
… Do they influence our personal success?

I don't aspire that everybody share my opinion, for after
all, things in life are personal experiences, but, to my way
of seeing, I must distinguish true from false, which I hope
to recognize when I find it.
I need to establish what‟s the meaning of “success” in my
case, and I would say that it couldn‟t be measured by
eitherthe projects or by the money that I can provide
myself with in life, but it is rather,…
“To stand firm by all means”.
And to be aware of those daily blessings that I skip
everyday, but when really understanding them, as the air

that I breathe, as to love and feel loved, for the bitterness
that I feel in the suffering of a beggar when you recognize
that he doesn't trick you, for thehappiness of feeling life
itself being able to shed a tear when something touches
my more intimate fibers, because I realize that I‟m alive
and not dead in life.
That success is completely independent from all the
plans and goals traced by us, that…
“If you take advantage of some situation,
avoid damaging or hurting your fellow men,
heading yourself toward common goodness
and, in fact, you mustnecessarily revise its risks”.
(E.V.N.)

Taking into account that,..
“Some of the greater dangers in life
isn‟t to take risks at all,
for men and women that don't take risks,
don't do anything, they have nothing and they‟re nothing”.
(Bach)
And,…
“It isn‟t doing what we like,
but liking of that we do”.
(Goethe)

And it‟s rather an attitude and inner behavior that allows
you todiscern that the real advantage is to keep your
word, to keep your decency, and…
“To speak and act with a serene spirit”.
(Buddha)
Because,…
“I can solve many problems,
but the tears of a sincere woman are the exception,
because at the bottom of her abyss I only see love”.
(Dedicated to Anthonia Obung-Senegal).
That in fact success is,…
“To find balance and harmony,
independently fromwhether the day shines or is dark,
the mind with a clear focuses of where it goes,
but if you trip and slide,
you should leave fear aside
and go directly to the origin of the damage,
understanding what happened, so as
to recapture your election
and again to understand it,
organizing yourself, reorienting yourself
and continue on the path”.
(E.V.N.)

Because,…

Get up and go!
Lord Jesusexclaimed, getting the invalid to understand
that he could do it only if, in fact, he wanted to.
And if you do it, don't forget to…
“Open your arms to change,
but don‟t let go of your values”.
(Dalai Dama–Tíbet)
Because,…
"Never deem something to be advantageous,
if it makes you break your word, or lose your dignity. "
(Marco Aurelio)
Because,…
“With your unbeaten dignity,
yourconscience will be calm
and your desire to be more,
not to have more”.
(Carlos Slim)
That,…
“One lives not only for what one is, but also for what is
given to us and we give in life”.
(Henry - N.Y./Esperanzha-Publisher)
That one of the greatest successes ever conceived, is a
GIFT,…

“That‟s of a mother WHEN GIVING A SON to the world”.
(Gabriel-R.Elite)
For that reason you are here, tocomplete…
“What you ought to and must carry out,
instead of only doing what you want,
in a certain way doesn't allow you to see the exit,
going through life without realizing,
and maybe believing not to have lived enough”.
(E.V.N…dedicated to Ricardo Barraz.)
And this can make us lose the balance and the daily
order of things, which are indispensable as part of the
solution of our day, becauseat night I get ready and in
the morning I expose, as a routine that I like, taking into
account that every day is different, but, at the end, there‟s
