...Faço das minhas próprias palavras (e das de outros) as minhas.
*don’t take for granted
*não se importem demais com coisas pequenas. Apenas com o que realmente vale a pena. Acreditem, são poucas.
*say what you need to say. Com jeito, sempre, mas falem.
*mesmo assim, acredito que haja coisas que não se deva compartilhar.
*não tentem impressionar, ser engraçados, ou legais. Se as pessoas não apreciarem o que vocês têm pra compartilhar ou não souberem conviver com teus defeitos, não valem a pena.
*há muitas coisas que se contradizem; generalizações não existem (em geral).
*não deixem de fazer alguma coisa pelos outros (nem faça algo só pelos outros). Isso geralmente se torna arrependimento mais tarde.
*vão pela cabeça de vocês. Não entrem na dos outros. Se der errado, eles provavelmente não estarão lá para te ajudar. É cada um por si, they say.
*não tentem se mostrar fortes. Todos têm problemas; nem todos têm a decência de aceitá-los e enfrentá-los.
*a vida é cheia de altos e baixos; what goes around, comes around.
*mais do que tudo, não repitam o que eu fiz.

Para os meus filhos…
...Faço das palavras de Benjamin button, mãe da Carmen e do John Mayer’s old man as minhas:
“For what it's worth: it's never too late or, in my case, too early to be whoever you want to be. There's no time limit, stop whenever you want. You can change or stay the same, there are no rules to this thing. We can make the best or the worst of it. I hope you make the best of it. And I hope you see things that startle you. I hope you feel things you never felt before. I hope you meet people with a different point of view. I hope you live a life you're proud of. If you find that you're not, I hope you have the strength to start all over again.”
“Darling. In my selfish heart, I want nothing more than for you to stay home. I hate the thought of you leaving. I’ll miss you terribly. (…) But a good mother doesn’t just obey the wishes of her selfish heart. A good mother does what she believes is the best thing for her child. Sometimes they are the same. This time they are different.”
"turn sixty-eight
You renegotiate"
"Don't stop this train
Don't for a minute change the place you're in
Don't think I couldn't ever understand
I tried my hand
John, honestly we'll never stop this train"
