If for a moment God would forget that I am a puppet of cloth and gave me a piece of life, take advantage of that time as I could. Possibly not say everything I think, but ultimately think everything I say. I would value things not for what their worth but for what they mean. Sleep little, dream more, understanding that for each minute we close our eyes we lose sixty seconds of light. I would walk when others hold back, awake when others sleep. If God give me a piece of life, dress simply, throw myself face first into the sun, leaving not only discovered my body but my soul. A would show men how wrong they are to think that they stop falling in love when they grow old, not knowing that age when they stop falling in love! To a child I shall give wings, but he would learn to fly. A would teach the old that death does not come with old age but with forgetting. So much have I learned from you men. I've learned that everyone wants to live on top of the mountain, without knowing that real happiness is in how it is scaled. I learned that when a newborn child squeezes his little fist, for the first time, the finger of his father, he has him trapped forever. I learned that one man may look down on another when he has to help her up. So many things I have learned from you, but really will not help much, because when I saved in that suitcase, unfortunately I will be dying. Always say what you feel and do what you think. If I knew today was the last time I'll see you sleep, hug you tightly and pray the Lord to be the guardian of your soul. If I knew that these are the final minutes that I see you say "I love you" and not foolishly assume that you know. There is always a tomorrow and life gives us another opportunity to do things right, but if I'm wrong and today is all we have left, I would tell you how much I love you, you never forget. Tomorrow is not guaranteed to anyone, young or old. Today may be the last time you see those you love. So do not wait any longer, do it today as if tomorrow never comes, surely regret the day that you did not take time for a smile, a hug, a kiss and you were too busy to grant a last wish. Keep those you love near you, tell her ear how much you need, love her and treat them well, take time to say "sorry" "sorry" "please" "thank you" and all words of love you know. No one will remember you for your secret thoughts. Ask the Lord's strength and wisdom to express them. Show your friends and loved ones how much you care. The moment this is!

Protect and love our planet!

Human activities threaten the Earth's natural balance. Cutting down trees, pollute air and water or let the desert stretches are the ways in which humans alter the environment. If damage to the environment in which we live continue, Earth will soon be in danger. Could cease to be a living planet. Life is possible on Earth because the air holds that living beings need to breathe, the nutrients they need to feed and grow, and the right climate for a living, a climate that is neither too cold nor too hot. The area of the Earth on which life develops on plants, animals and microscopic organisms called biosphere. The biosphere consists of three areas: air, water and land. Between them there is a delicate natural balance that makes life comfortable for the beings that inhabit our planet. However, human activities over the past hundred years is altering this balance in a very fast pace. The consequences of our way of life are visible today in the forests, especially tropical forests, also in coastal and other aquatic environments. Pollution is one of the greatest dangers threatening the environment. All parts of the biosphere (land, water and air) pollution suffer. Pollute the air with smoke from industries and from our cars. Pollute rivers and lakes through sewage from the cities or toxic chemical dumping. The seas are polluted by oil, and fields with fertilizers and pesticides. The air, water and soil are essential for life, so we must take care of them. They give us the oxygen we breathe, the water we drink and the food we need to grow and reproduce. Among the most visible consequences of human activities on the environment are the extinction of animal and plant species, climate change and desertification. Each of us, our lifestyle, we can help improve the health of the planet on which we live. It is not easy to prevent pollution, but we must be aware of the problems we cause in order to make solutions.
