Children are always looking at the world as if it was for the first time in their lives. So, we should always look to the world with the eyes of a child. I am not saying be naive, I am saying be innocent in the sense of discovering things.
Paulo Coelho
Image
...in all the woods and forests, God did not create a single leaf the same as any other... People go against nature because they lack the courage to be different.
Paulo Coelho
Image
There are moments in life when we need to trust blindly in intuition
Paulo Coelho
