à bientôt, mon ami

cliches are always the first words that come to mind. particularly in moments when there is nothing to be said...
...there are no words. there are and will be the long dinners, french/portuguese translations to english, microfinance, tiramisu, a scare at 3 in the morning...and a hug.
(the only way to find something is to keep looking. i hope that, somehow, you did)

Buffett wisdom


“There comes a time when you ought to start doing what you want. Take a job that you love. You will jump out of bed in the morning. I think you are out of your mind if you keep taking jobs that you don't like because you think it will look good on your resume. Isn't that a little like saving up sex for your old age?”

“Should you find yourself in a chronically leaking boat, energy devoted to changing vessels is likely to be more productive than energy devoted to patching leaks.”

“No matter how great the talent or efforts, some things just take time. You can't produce a baby in one month by getting nine women pregnant.”

“Life is like a snowball. The important thing is finding wet snow and a really long hill. ”
 “I could end the deficit in 5 minutes. You just pass a law that says that anytime there is a deficit of more than 3% of GDP all sitting members of congress are ineligible for reelection."

“It's nice to have a lot of money, but you know, you don't want to keep it around forever. I prefer buying things. Otherwise, it's a little like saving sex for your old age.”

“You know ... you keep doing the same things and you keep getting the same result over and over again.”

"You never know who's swimming naked until the tide goes out." 

“Never ask a barber if you need a haircut.”

carpe diem?

porque será que temos sempre palavras mais sábias para os outros, do que para nós próprios?
(ou, se queremos ir para a praia às 4h da manhã, porque é que não vamos?)

50/50

it takes more than chance to beat the odds.
sometimes, it's the most trivial things that put our own (complex?) issues into perspective.
(great movie.)

passion

Never stop looking.
"As with all the matters of the heart, you'll know when you find it." (Steve Jobs)


"Sometimes life is gonna hit you in the head with a brick - don't lose faith." (Steve Jobs)

"If you haven't found it yet, keep looking and don't settle.
As with all the matters of the heart, you'll know when you find it." (Steve Jobs)

"Our knowledge has made us cynical, our cleverness hard and unkind.
We think too much and feel too little." (Charlie Chaplin)

"So how will you know what is the right path to chose to get the result that you desire?
The honest answer is: you won't. And accepting that [...] is the greatest anxiety of your life experience." (Jon Stewart)

"Limits, like fear, are often just an illusion." (Michael Jordan)
