“If a picture is worth a thousand words, then say it with a picture.” (Millôr Fernandes)

 “If a picture is worth a thousand words, then say it with a picture.” (Millôr Fernandes)

All of us, in general, like to live with other people, namely all those we consider very special, we have different experiences and personalities, we exchange different ideas, all of this should make us reflect how important we are to each other and how it is Our life story with these characters is rich and so we are writing another chapter of this wonderful book called life. But we have and we must always bear in mind that we are remembered for who we are and not for what we have. In order to regain some of our freedom, we all have to follow and follow the most essential rules, which are so simple: how to keep your physical distance, wear your mask and wash your hands frequently. Only by being responsible can we fight this pandemic, because what will really count is the behavior of all of us! As Peter Drucker said: “Knowledge and information are the strategic resources for the development of any country. The bearers of these resources are the people. ”

Everything that is unpredictable for humans is a source of stress and causes some sense of fear. In fact, nothing in our life is predictable. If we think about it, before these pandemic times we also didn't know what was going to happen the next day, but we all thought we did. Maybe that's why in our day-to-day lives, to protect ourselves, we must have several activities because it gives us control, or at least a feeling of control, very great over our life, which helps us in our mental health. and lowering anxiety levels, giving us the opinion that we managed to manage everything and we know exactly what will happen. “An open book is a talking brain; Closed, a friend who waits; Forgotten, a forgiving soul; Destroyed, a heart that cries. ”(Rabindranath Tagore)

In these current times we start from the principle that, in general, we all have the notion that the world where we live is a “small village” (according to Marshall McLuhan), that using the means and technological resources, everyone can talk to everyone and more insignificant of rumors can gain an uncontrollable dimension. The internet has allowed us to be able to be connected anytime and anywhere. Social networks have become the new public space, in which everyone can participate freely and express their opinion without being subject to hierarchies or face-to-face judgments. From deliberate and non-constructive comments to hate and xenophobia speeches, often the freedom that virtual space offers is nothing less than a utopia of modern times. "It is not the strongest that survives, nor the most intelligent, but the one that best adapts to changes." (Leon C. Megginson)

We have the perception that nothing is stronger for human expression and communication than words. A sentence is capable of not only immortalizing a moment but also changing history. In speeches, books, plays, poems or interviews, great phrases were able to start and end wars, forever change our way of thinking, deepen the way we understand ourselves as a human being and much more. Having the support of phrases, books, music, films, among other materials and content, that have the power to animate and take away the sad moments of anguish and anxiety from our daily lives, is essential for us to feel motivated. to continue our journey, in search of the fulfillment of our dreams and achieve the extraordinary results that we so desire in our life. As Augusto Cury said: “A book reveals that life is the greatest of all books, but it is of little use for those who do not know how to read between the lines and discover what the words did not say ... Great ideas arise from the observation of little ones Details."
