Life Lessons



First, of all one of my favorite quotes that inspired me by the talented Cristiano Ronaldo “We don’t want to tell our dreams. We want to show them.”



 When I wake up every day I feel motivated to better myself day by day and instead of telling people what I want to do with my life I rather show them.  This way I can live my life with no excuses just my achievements.


Second, a powerful quote by Albert Einstein “Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance you must keep moving forward.”


 We can’t just stop fighting, we have to stay on ours toes and find another way to reach our goals. Life is short and we have to take advantage of the time we have while living.



Third, one of the most important people in my life. My Grandfather always told me “I came to America to give your mother a better life and to better myself and she surpassed me and tried her all to give you a better life than she had so you can surpass her and give your future kids a better a life.”



 At first I didn’t really understand the meaning of what my grandfather told me till I got older and bit more mature. In life we should always find a way to want the best for our family and do anything to make sure they have a better life. Family is key to your life.



Finally, some of the best advice by one of the greatest leaders England has had – Winston Churchill “Never never never give up.”






In life there’s no room to quite. You have to keep pushing every day you live this way at the end of the day you feel like your unstoppable and no obstacle is impossible to surpass.

Tuesdays with Morrie



Reading “Tuesdays with Morrie” by Mitch Albom is one of the best books I ever read. Reading about Morrie this old man who is diagnosed with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) and knowing he was one of the happiest people to be alive it’s probably one of the most inspirational story I ever read about. Morrie was Mitch Albom’s professor and after albom graduated from college and got his career started he comes back to visit his professor Morrie. Albom is a person who lost his brother and uncle and always strides to be the best at everything he does. When he first visits Morrie after years without seeing him Albom didn’t see the world as Morrie did. Morrie saw the world as plants and animals. With a little bit of love and caring you can grow up to be something beautiful like a rose, but we all have our finish line just like a rose when it gets old, rankly and dies. Morrie tries to make Albom see life as a onetime thing and it’s too short to take it for granted. Morrie wants Albom to realize death is a part of life and the sooner you accept that the better your life will be. Morrie tells Albom “The most important thing in life is to learn hotw to give out love, and to let it come in.” This is the general theme in the book. Love is the key to everything, without love you don’t necessarily have everything.

Life



Life is like a roller coaster it has many unexpected drops, twists and turns.  Life can be cruel, but also a beautiful thing if you learn to embrace it and enjoy every minute of it.  Some people don’t get to know the true meaning of living. One of my favorite quotes is “Everybody dies but not everyone lives.” –Drake I feel like this quotes says it all, we know we will die one day but we are so scared of the day when it happens that we forget to live. For others, when we know we are close to losing or lost someone special in our lives, we tend to close down especially if that person meant the world to you.  We all have the choice to accept that things happen for a reason and life is not going to stop or go back in time. Acceptance doesn’t mean forgetting. Acceptance means having the strength to learn from what life has thrown at you.  In my opinion “Acceptance” it’s a big key when it comes to living a great life. Just because you accepted something doesn’t mean you have lost and it’s the end of the world. Accepting that you lost important people in your life, sport games etc… doesn’t mean you will never amount to greatness. Many people become stronger in life because they know they are never alone someone on top will always be with you every step of the way and every decision you make.
