master of my emotions
Today I will be master of my emotions.
If I feel depressed I will sing.
If I feel sad, laugh.
If I feel ill I will double my labor.
If I feel fear I will plunge ahead.
If I feel inferior, wear new garments.
If I feel unsafe, I will raise my voice.
If I feel poverty, think of future wealth.
If I feel incompetent, remember past successes.
If I feel insignificant I will remember my goals.
Today I will be master of my emotions.
over me If overconfidence, I recall my failures.
If I am inclined to surrender in excess of the good life, remember past famines.
If I feel complacency remember my competitors.
If I enjoy moments of greatness, remember moments of shame.
If I feel powerful, try to stop the wind.
If I attain great wealth, remember a hungry mouth.
If I feel excessively proud, remember a moment of weakness.
If I think my skill is unmatched, look at the stars.
In short, today I will be master of my emotions.
Og Mandino
Sadness
1964
I no longer magical world. I have left.
I will not share the clear moon slow
Neither gardens. Since there is no moon
than mirror the past. Crystal
solitude, sun agonies. Goodbye
mutual
hands and temples that brings the love. Today just
The faithful memory and deserts days. Nobody loses
(repeat vainly)
But what does not and never has had
, but not enough to be brave
To learn the art of forgetting.
A symbol, a rose, you
tears And you can kill a guitar.

I will not be happy. It may not matter.
There are so many other things in the world;
A moment
whichever is deeper and different than the sea. Life is short
And though the hours are so long, a Dark
wonder awaits us
Death, that other sea, that other arrow
That frees us from the sun and moon
And love. The happiness you gave me and got rid
must be erased
What was it all has to be nothing.
I only have the joy of being sad, empty custom
That leads me
the South, to a certain street at a certain corner. Jorge Luis Borges
