My boxing days are on hold...

The crisis according to Albert Einstein

Let’s not pretend that things will change if we keep doing the same things. A crisis can be a real blessing to any person, to any nation.
For all crises bring progress.

Creativity is born from anguish, just like the day is born form the dark night. It’s in crisis that inventive is born, as well as discoveries, and big strategies. Who overcomes crisis, overcomes himself, without getting overcome. Who blames his failure to a crisis neglects his own talent, and is more respectful to problems than to solutions. Incompetence is the true crisis.

The greatest inconvenience of people and nations is the laziness with which they attempt to find the solutions to their problems. There’s no challenge without a crisis. Without challenges, life becomes a routine, a slow agony. There’s no merit without crisis. It’s in the crisis where we can show the very best in us. Without a crisis, any wind becomes a tender touch. To speak about a crisis is to promote it.
Not to speak about it is to exalt conformism. Let us work hard instead.

Let us stop, once and for all, the menacing crisis that represents the tragedy of not being willing to overcome it.

Poemas de Pessoa

Mais triste do que o que acontece 
É o que nunca aconteceu. 
Meu coração, quem o entristece? 
Quem o faz meu?  Na nuvem vem o que escurece 
O grande campo sob o céu. 
Memórias? Tudo é o que esquece. 
A vida é quanto se perdeu.
E há gente que não enlouquece! 
Ai do que em mim me chamo eu!

Gibraltar

Today my blog was visited by someone in Gibraltar! WoW! I find that quite cool! Which also means that 86 different countries have stopped by, which means that there are only 110 to go! Bring it on!
(but Gibraltar is only considered a country by this counter on my blog... on wikipedia it is a British overseas territory).

Arrived!

To step on Carl Andre's work
