I Wish u all these:

Take time

Take time to think – thoughts are the source of power.
Take time to play – play is the secret of perpetual youth.
Take time to read – reading is the fountain of wisdom.
Take time to pray – prayer can be a rock of strength in time of need.
Take time to love – loving is what makes living worthwhile.
Take time to be friendly – friendships give life a delicious flavor.
Take time to laugh – laughter is the music of the soul.
Take time to give – sharing brings joy to your heart.
Take time to work – work is the price of success.
Take time to dream – dreams show you what is possible.
Take time to do your work well – pride in your work nourishes the mind and the spirit.
Take time to show appreciation – it's the frosting on the cake of life.

Anti Dacă de Kostas Varnalis (după "If" de R.Kipling)

Kostas Varnalis (1884-1974) a fost romancier şi poet grec. Opera sa include: Lumina care arde (1922), Poemele scalvilor asediaţi (1927), şi Adevarata apologie a lui Socrate (1933)(o lucrare în proză).

Mi se pare un duel interesant si chiar daca se vrea a fi "Anti-Daca"
finalul anuleaza antiteza :)))

ANTI – IF by Kostas Varnalis

If you can fool yourself when someone else hits you,
Pretending him a wise man and never you blame him;
If you don’t trust nobody and no one’s trusting you,
Forgive your sin is easy, but never others’ sins.

If you respite the evil no single moment and
You lie louder and louder when other people lie;
If you’re enjoying hitting the love with hate and though
Pretend to have a wise and even saint good side.

If you move like a worm and never fly with dreams,
And interest is always up to your highest aim;
If you leave the defeated for the winner all times,
Though both of them betraying is your standing desire.

If you can gain a thousand for every little gift
And mother land to play at cards is not a heavy act;
If you don’t pay a penny as duty you have made,
As for being you paid is always right and fair.

If you can urge your thinking and heart and even nerves,
Ill – old all them to make some new and evil acts;
And indecision bowing low deserves from you as serve,
When all bawl “Forward!” you’re the only crying “Back!”.

If you reject the evil no single time or plot
And in its shadow feel like in a saint life tree shade;
Yours will be whole Earth and all its gifts and mines,
You’ll be the first of masters, but never MAN, be sure!

Dacă - Rudyard Kipling

În timpul vieţii, a fost considerat, îndeobşte, poet şi i s-a oferit un titlu nobiliar şi postul de poet laureat ambele refuzate de Kipling.

Poezia "Dacă" este considerata de multi ca fiind una dintre cele mai frumoase poezii ale lumii, ea reprezentand un fel de Ghid pentru cizelarea si slefuirea fiintei umane.

IF...by Rudyard Kipling

IF by Rudyard Kipling

If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or, being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or, being hated, don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise;

If you can dream - and not make dreams your master;
If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with triumph and disaster
And treat those two imposters just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to broken,
And stoop and build 'em up with wornout tools;

If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breath a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: "Hold on";

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with kings - nor lose the common touch;
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you;
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run -
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man my son!

Fiii lacrimilor tale - Tatiana Stepa

Pustoaico... Cenaclul Flacara

Kid, you have the viper blood
Kid, I say goodbye and I leave you
Refrain: yes, yes you, you, my feelings were wrong,
yes, yes, you, you, you hurt my heart
Kid, I was too loyal soul
Kid, from now nothing is pointless
