On my last visit to HongKong one of the things that i did a lot was to watch people.. and one of the most scary things i got to observe was the tedious routine people have to face everyday.Daily millions of people get on the subway pontually at the same station and get off minutes later at their destionation , just to start another day at their hopeless jobs.That made me think how blessed I am... although i have my routine and I get to do something I love and believe. No matter where I am as long as I can teach I will feel complete and fullfilled.But looking around me all i can see people struggling with their boring routines and even worst with no dreams to live for.Recently one of my friends decided that it was time for him to move on his life and find a new place to spread his wings...I wasnt surprised...i confess that i will miss him much around here.. but envy the fact that he was free enough to make such bold decision, and face a new begining ...admire him for being honest enough to admit he wasnt happy here and needed to keep looking for his dreams..What a challenge it is to live nowadays ... in a time that people hav so many expactions for us and we have so little freedom to dream and fight for what we believe..what a challenge it is just to find time to do what you like and love in life..Yesterday i came across one of my favourite writer's poem .."Change" from Clarice Lispector.. So here it is for you to think a little and be your own judge...ChangeClarice LispectorChangeBut start slowlyBecause direction is more important than the speed.Whenever you go out,try walking on the other side of the street.And after,change your way,Walk by different streets,calmly,Attentively observingthe places you pass by.Take other buses.Change your clothes style for some time.Give your old shoes away.Walk barefoot some days.See the world through different perspectives.Watch different TV programs,Buy different papers...read different books,Live different passions.Don't make habit a lifestyle.Love novalty.Go to bed later.Go to bed earlier.Learn a new wordin another language everyday.Correct your posture.Eat less,Choose different types of food,new spices, new colors.new tastes.Try new things everyday.Try.Search new friends.Try a new love.Make new relations.Use pens of different colors.Go sightseeing to different places.Love a lot,more and more,in different ways.Change your handbag,your wallet,your baggage,your car,buy new glasses,Write other poems.Open an account in a different bank.Go to different movie theaters,different hairdressers,different theaters,visit new museums.Change. Remember life is only one.And think about getting a new job,a new occupation, a lighter job,more enjoyable,more respectablemore humane.If you can't find reasons for being free,invent them.Be creative.And take time to go on an unpretentious long trip,with no direction if possible. Try new things.Change them again.And again.Try one more time.You'll certainly discover better and worse things.but it doesn't matter. what really matters is the change,the movement,the dynamism,the energy. I repeat for pure joy in living: Salvation is achieved by the risk, without it, life is not worth living!!! One of the most amazing
