Here are the lyrics:

Earth Song
(Michael Jakson)


What about sunrise
What about rain
What about all the things
That you said we were to gain...
What about killing fields
Is there a time.
What about all the things
That you said was yours and mine...
Did you ever stop to notice
All the blood we've shed before
Did you stop to notice
The crying Earth the weeping shores?
What have we done to the world
Look that we've done
What about all the peace
That you pledge your only son...
What about flowering fields
Is there a time
What about all the dreams
That you said was yours and mine...
Did you ever stop to notice
All the children dead from war
Did you ever stop to notice
The crying Earth the weeping shores
I used to dream
I used to glance beyond the stars
Now I don't where we are
Although know we've drifted far
Hey, what about yesterday
What about the sea
The heavens are falling down
I can't even breathe
What about the bleeding Earth
(What about us)
Can't we feel it's wounds
What about nature's worth
It's our planet's womb.
What about animals
We've turned kingdoms to dust.
What about elephants
Have we lost their trust.
What about crying whales
We've ravaging the seas.
What about forest trails
Burnt despite our pleas
What about the holy land
Torn apart by creed.
What about the common man
Can't you hear them cry
Where did we go wrong
Someone tell me why.
What about babies
What about the days
What about all their joy
What about the man
What about the crying man
What about Abraham
What about death again
Do we give a damn.

Ooops! My mistakes...learn from them!

Everyone makes at least one mistake durring the life...because "nobody is perfect".
I could also quote a latin saying "errare humanum est", which means "mistaking is human".

That doesn't mean that we shouldn't want to achieve the perfection because anyway we won't be able to reach it.
This is a negative way of thinking like using the line "there are worse things than this" or putting the retoric question "what could happen worse?" (and-bang!-the answer comes to shoot us down). This could only lead to a stagnation or to a bad result.
Instead, we can think positive and not only recognize our mistakes but also try to learn from them how to improve ourselves. More ideal would be to observe and listen to others in order to learn from their mistakes. In this way we can be better and better and get closer and closer to perfection. Our efforts will be recognized and rewarded.

Now I will write down some of my mistakes (the ones I remember in this moment) just to let them out and I hope both you and me will learn from them.
  • I trusted everyone has good intentions - but I should be more careful because some people are just pretending. Usually under the most attractive, voluble and kind mask you can discover the most egocentric, perverse and mean personality that uses the charm only in his interest. You can trust more a direct person who critics you and gives you advice and answers than a person who is always kind with you, puts you questions and criticizes others just to make you a confession you didn't ask for; next time you'll be the subject of the gossip.
  • I gave more attention and credit to nice words than to good facts - but I discovered that people who talk much and nice do less and worse. People who talk less and then pass to action are better if you want to see some positive results.
  • I was too lazy - to take care of my health, to cook, to fight for my rights, to sustain my point of view, to do things which I didn't like - but I learned that I should do some things just because they are necessary for my comfort.
  • I gave more importance to others than to myself - and hoped they will appreciate it but they confirmed me that no one will appreciate you if you don't.
  • I acted under the impulse of the moment without thinking at the consequences - and I regreted later because my actions affected people close to me and myself. One should think twice before saying or doing something instead of regreting it later.
  • I played a role just to integrate or leave a group - but I found out that is better to be yourself than to lie yourself. You should analyse if a group fits you before joining it.
  • I gave help and advice without being asked - and that was missunderstood. That's how I found out that people see that like an aggression so is better to help someone only after (s)he asked you to do it. Is also important not to help somebody if that would bring tragic consequences to you.

Well, that was all that I found out in this moment. I am feeling better now that I shared from my experience with you. Now that you discovered my mistakes I hope you won't repeat them and learn how to get closer to perfection.

If you have another opinion or mistakes to share "just do it!"

Think positive!:)

That's what I say and try to do when something bad happens.
We all have bad experiences but it's important to react well and to learn from them how to make a step ahead in our lives.

Somebody said:"what doesn't kill me makes me stronger" and he was right. I think that hard experiences prepare us to face the worst things that might happen to us; we have to use what we learn from them to improve our personality.

I truly believe that every effect has a cause; that's why I analyse the causes that might have lead to every effect.

If we discover the mistakes we can improve and pass to the next level of the game called "life".

First of all, I analyse myself and I try to discover the mistakes I made so I can correct and not repeat them.
If I didn't make any mistake then I try to analyse the other person(s) involved in order to discover the reason(s) that lead him (them) to a certain attitude.
Second, I try to discover my qualities that brought me success for a further use and evolution.
I guess you could say that I am trying to see not only the full part of the glass but also the empty part in order to fill it.

I am convinced that evolution is the result of the awareness and improvement of our weakness.

As a conclusion: doesn't matter what is happening to us; what matters most is our reaction to it.

After you saw my way of positive thinking after a bad experience I would like you to say your opinion. What do you think about it?
I am curious to know if you agree with it or maybe you have another opinion?
So...don't hesitate to write me a comment...or simply your opinion about it.

I wish we'll have a wise life! ;) :)
