V. Reflection
Instruction: Please write your reflection from this post! Write it in a separate
sheet.

You can have flaws, be anxious, and even be angry, but do not forget that your
life is the greatest enterprise in the world. Only you can stop it from going bust.
Many appreciate you, admire you and love you. Remember that to be happy is
not to have a sky without a storm, a road without accidents, work without
fatigue, and relationships without disappointments. To be happy is to find
strength in forgiveness, hope in battles, security in the stage of fear, love in
discord. It is not only to enjoy the smile, but also to reflect on the sadness. It is
not only to celebrate the successes, but to learn lessons from the failures. It is
not only to feel happy with the applause, but to be happy in anonymity. Being
happy is not an achievement for those who can travel within themselves. To be
happy is to stop feeling like a victim and become your destiny’s author. It is to
cross deserts, it is to be able to find an oasis in the depths of our soul. It is to
thank God for every morning, for the miracle of life. Being happy is not being
afraid of your own feelings. It’s to be able to talk about you. It is having the
courage to hear a ‘no’. It is confidence in the face of criticism, even when
unjustified. It is to kiss your children, pamper your parents, to live poetic
moments with friends, even when they hurt us. To be happy is to let live the
creature that lives in each of us, free, joyful and simple. It is to have maturity
to be able to say: “I made mistakes”. It is to have the courage to say “I am
sorry”. It is to have the sensitivity to say, “I need you”. It is to have the ability

5
to say “I love you”. May your life become a garden of opportunities for
happiness... that in spring may it be a lover of joy, in winter a lover of wisdom.
And when you make a mistake, start over again. For only then will you be in
love with life. You will find that to be happy is not to have a perfect life. But use
the tears to irrigate tolerance. Use your losses to train patience. Use your
mistakes to sculpture serenity. Use pain to plaster pleasure. Use obstacles to
open windows of intelligence. Never give up... never give up on people who love
you. Never give up on happiness. For life is an incredible show."
“Palco de vida” (Stages of life), Fernando Pessoa (1888-1935)
