“Camina
plácido entre el ruido y la prisa y recuerda qué paz se puede encontrar en el
silencio. En cuanto sea posible y sin rendirte, mantén buenas relaciones con
todas las personas. Enuncia tu verdad de una manera serena y clara y escucha a
los demás, incluso al torpe e ignorante, también ellos tienen su propia
historia. Esquiva a las personas ruidosas y agresivas, ya que son un fastidio
para el espíritu. Si te comparas con los demás, te volverás vano y amargado,
pues siempre habrá personas más grandes y más pequeñas que tú. Disfruta de tus
éxitos lo mismo que de tus planes. Mantén el interés en tu propia carrera por
humilde que sea, ella es un verdadero tesoro en el fortuito cambiar de los
tiempos. Sé cauto en tus negocios pues el mundo está lleno de engaños, mas no
dejes que esto te vuelva ciego para la virtud que existe. Hay muchas personas
que se esfuerzan por alcanzar nobles ideales. La vida está llena de heroísmo.
Sé sincero contigo mismo, en especial no finjas el afecto. Y no seas cínico en
el amor, pues en medio de todas las arideces y desengaños, es perenne como la
hierba. Acata dócilmente el consejo de los años abandonando con donaire las
cosas de la juventud. Cultiva la firmeza del espíritu, para que te proteja en
las adversidades repentinas. Muchos temores nacen de la fatiga y la soledad.
Sobre una sana disciplina, sé benigno contigo mismo. Tú eres una criatura del
universo. No menos que las plantas y las estrellas, tienes derecho a existir. Y
sea que te resulte claro o no, indudablemente el universo marcha como debiera. Por
eso debes estar en paz con Dios cualquiera que sea tu idea de Él. Y sean
cualesquiera tus trabajos y aspiraciones, conserva la paz con tu alma en la
bulliciosa confusión de la vida. Aún con toda su falsedad, sus dolores y sueños
fallidos, el mundo es todavía hermoso. Sé cauto, ¡esfuérzate por ser feliz!”
THE
DESIDERATA - by Max Ehrmann
Go placidly amid the noise and the haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence.
As far as possible, without surrender, be on good terms with all persons.
Speak your truth quietly and clearly and listen to the ignorant; they too have their story.
Avoid loud and aggressive persons; they are vexatious to the spirit.
If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain or bitter, for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.
Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans. Keep interested in your own career, however humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.
Exercise caution in your busines affairs, for the world if sull of trickery.
But let this not blind you to what virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideals,
and everywhere life if full of heroism. Be yourself. Especially do not feign affection.
Neither be cynical about love, for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment, it is as perennial as the grass.
Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth.
Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune.
But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings.
Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.
Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself.
You are a child of the universe, no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here.
And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.
Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be.
And whatever your labors and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life, keep peace in your sould.
With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams, it is still a beautiul world.
Be cheerful. Strive to be happy.

ResponderEliminarQué bello puede llegar a ser el día
Cuando la amistad lo ha iluminado...
► ♣ ◄
Hoy día del amigo golondrina quisiera ser,
Para acercarte desde la distancia mí estimado aprecio.
► ♣ ◄
Aquel que se crece con el silencio de las palabras,
Cuando a tu paso vas dejando en el alféizar del viento,
Semillas de cariño que han sido engalanadas
Por el mágico sentimiento de la amistad…
► ♣ ◄
Deseo pases una tarde de sábado esplendida,
Descansando sobre nubes de algodón
Y acuarelas de estrellas…

Hoy más que nunca
Un fuerte y sentido abrazo
De mí para ti!!
Atte.
