About Me
 «We often feel the need to be right, to show people that we have everything under control. So when we make a mistake, our instinct is to cover it up, ignore it, focus on the good times, instead of taking it on and learning from it. One manifestation of this in young chess players is that in chess lessons they only want to show their coach their wins. This is a deadly habit for a chess player-if we don't learn from our mistakes, we get stuck. It's very important to accept that winning and losing, flying high and smashing into walls, will both be part of our lives. Instead of fighting or ignoring this reality, we should embrace it and make it work for us.
When I look back on my competitive life so far, it's true, I've won a lot of big games, championships, titles … but the funny thing, if I'm being completely honest, is that I hardly remember the wins. Most of them weren't terribly important moments in my growth as a human being. But the losses, Oh, I remember the losses. I remember the pain, the heartbreak, sometimes being inches away from a dream, a world championship title and falling just short--each big loss is crystal clear in my mind because the experience was packed with life lessons that ultimately made me the person I am today.
So if you think about that reality, of the losses being our greatest teachers, it's liberating. It sets you free to put yourself on the line, to give it your all, and to recognize that when you come out on top, it will feel nice, it will be a sign you may be learning in the right direction. But when you lose, if you have really put your heart on the line, you will be offered a unique opportunity to grow. There is no shame in losing; there is only shame in not trying.» Josh WAITZKIN’s Academy Pedro Cazanova feat Andrea - selfish love -

«Regressei aqui meu bem, voltei ao meu corpo para me render a isto, ao vazio. É só desta vez mas não partas já…
Estou escondida entre os lençóis e não há mais ninguém aqui. Danço contigo e rio-me, muito. Cada coração de chocolate que me ofereceste foi um passo bem dado sob a neblina tão densa, aqui na praia. Uma pontaria certeira contra o meu umbigo, contra o meu orgulho que quase os mataste, a mim não...
Mas aqui, entre os lençóis, nem tu me encontrarás. São labirintos e labirintos de uma vida dos quais não vais conseguir gostar. Brumas e um caminho de terra batida, lamas, poeiras e um perfume que não é meu e eu já não sei... Talvez duas sombras, ou uma multidão atrás de mim, a pedir qualquer coisa que eu lhes roubei.
É que, não sei se desconfias sequer mas… tenho-te mentido.
Não tenho um frasco cheio de borboletas azuis no armário nem sequer sou uma princesa quando o sol se põe. E não, não te odeio, de todo.
Mas ouve, repara… gosto de
ti e sonho contigo, há imenso tempo… não sei quanto tempo vale uma vida mas é um amor demasiado grande para não ser partilhado. E pois, eras um vagabundo antes de te aninhares no meu coração, já o disseste. Eu não sei...»

Help the children, help them right
Oh lord help them decide
Cast away that evil spell
Throw some water in the well
Well well well well (In Jamaica)
C'mon and smile (In Jamaica)
Get things together right now (In Jamaica)
Get it together right now (In Jamaica)
Dry your tears, have no fears
