WE ARE ABLE TO DO OUR BEST! “É das coisas, que os sonhos são feitos.” It is about things, that dreams are made." (William Shakespeare

“Happy people remember the past with gratitude, rejoice in the present and face the future without fear. (Epicurus)
“Happy people remember the past with gratitude, rejoice in the present and face the future without fear. (Epicurus)
“Not every day is the day to ask... and today is one of them. It's the day to be grateful!! Thank you for existing... Simply for existing!! (As Mark Twain said: “Never abandon your illusions. For without them you may continue to exist, but you certainly cease to live.”)
And so it was: We were born in the 40s-50s-60s. "
"We grew up in the 50s-60s-70s."
"We studied in the 60s-70s-80s."
"We dated in the 70s-80s-90s."
"We got married and discovered the world in the 70s-80s-90s."
We ventured into the 80s-90s. We stabilized in the 2000s.
“We became wiser in 2010.” And we are going strong through 2020.
"It turns out we've lived through EIGHT different decades..."
"TWO different centuries... " TWO different millennia...
"We went from the telephone with a long-distance operator, to video calls to anywhere in the world, from slides to YouTube, TikTok... from vinyl records to online music, from handwritten letters to email and WhatsApp."
"From live games on the radio, to black and white TV, and then to HD TV."
We went to the Video Club and now we watch Netflix.
"We know the first computers, punched cards, diskettes and now we have gigabytes and megabytes at our fingertips on our cell phones or IPads."
We wore shorts throughout our childhood and then long ones, oxfords, Bermuda shorts, etc.
"We have dodged infantile paralysis, meningitis, H1N1 flu and now COVID-19."
We ride roller skates, tricycles, invented carts, bicycles, mopeds, gasoline or diesel cars and now we ride scooters and hybrids or 100% electric.
"Yes, we've been through a lot but what a wonderful life we've had!"
We could be classified as “#exennials”; people who were born in that world of the 1950s, who had an analog childhood and a digital adulthood.
"We're kind of #alreadyseeneverything."
Literally, our generation has lived and witnessed so much more than any other in every dimension of Life.
It is our generation that has literally adapted to "#CHANGE".
A big round of applause for all the members of a very special generation, which will be UNIQUE. "Me and Life 2 (taken from here…)
All I can do is remember that “material goods and even health can be recovered. But the time that was allowed to pass, without taking advantage of it, is irrecoverable.” (Jewish texts)
