A verdadeira beleza do ser humano nao se ve apenas com os olhos Nunca desista dos seus sonhos, pois um dia ele pode se realizar. Atitude! Porque palavras o vento leva. O amor nao esta no outro, esta dentro de nos mesmos. Nos o despertamos, mas para desperta-lo, necessitamos do outro. O verdadeiro amor nunca se desgasta. Quanto mais se da mais se tem.Falta de lealdade e uma das causas principais de fracasso em todo o caminhar da vida. A alegria nao esta nas coisas, mas em nos. O desejo pinta e some. A paixao explode. Ja o amor e um desejo que se aprofundou e uma vivencia intermitente da paixao. Nao devemos arrependermo-nos de tomarmos uma decisao errada, devemos sim arrependermo-nos de nunca ter tomada essa decisao... Se queres o arco-iris, vais ter que aturar um pouco de chuva. Deixo livre as coisas que amo, se elas voltarem para mim foi porque as conquistei, se nao voltarem foi porque nunca as tive. Quem tem fe na vida consegue o que quer.

They are the epicentre of national politics and in most of the cases also congregates some of the most pleasurable attractions of a country for delight of its citizens, governors and, of course, as a way to impress the international tourists.However, what can be said about the international professionals in Washington D.C.? In my particular case, a couple of months sufficed to make me feel at home in this centre of world power.Though Washington is well-known for its intense networking environment and congressional lobbying, what is not known is the high quality of life and wide array of venues one can enjoy outside the office. Let us start with the world-renowned National Mall, the 4 miles-long open field flanked on all sides by some of the most important museums, monuments and Governmental institutions of the world. It is home to the Smithsonian Museums (American Art Museum, American History Museum, American Indian Museum, Hirschhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, Portrait Gallery, Air and Space Museum, among many others), and multiple memorials commemorating American wars (e.g., World War II, Vietnam War, Korean War), as well as national heroes (e.g., Abraham Lincoln, Martin Luther King, Thomas Jefferson). All these captivating landmarks of American pride can be seen under the constant vigilance of the 555 ft tall obelisk, the Washington Monument. Before you know, you are surrounded by the century-old cherry trees contouring the Tidal Basin. Of course, we cannot forget the splendid 100 years-old OAS Headquarters building on Constitution Avenue!Washington is home to no less than 176 Embassies, making the American capital an epicenter of world diplomacy. Many of these are located along the charming Massachusetts Avenue, known locally as "Embassy Row". Those interested in the backstages of international diplomacy and their respective culinary delights, will be more than pleased by the panoply of events hosted by these honorable envoys of the world to the United States.As a matter of fact, Washignton constitutes a city with a lot of diversity itself.
