I believe that we are divided into two classes of people ... Optimists and Pessimists ... Optimists cheer with the success of others, do the best they can today, and more importantly end up doing better tomorrow. Always think to yourself that everything can be improved. Embedded within the optimist is the power to keep in constant motion, even when others think it is hopeless. Optimists were able to create the wheel, find the energy and dedication to invent the car, vaccines, computers, televi- sion, etc, etc, etc ..
To the pessimist, life simply goes by ... in the worse way of course. In their case, there would be no computers, electricity, television, vaccines, medicines ...waiting for something to move, inspire or drive them, always worried what others think, it would not work ...and simply would not happen.
What would the world be today if there were only these naysayers? While optimists can see light at the end of the tunnel, the pessimists are always looking down a tunnel for the sign of any light before entering. What kind of person you? Think about it.... I am optimistic and confident. Difficulties strengthen me, and I am surprisingly stronger from the experience... This is also when I put my creativity to work with greater vigor. I was raised in a country of crisis where from the time we were small we that are trained to put up with the difficulties, to find a way out and be men- tally stronger for it.
We are fruit of the environment in which we live. It shapes us according to need. This is a
basic principle of nature. I arrived here but faced daily struggles, sweat, tears of joy and sorrow ... Not every battle won, but I fought with all my strength and force. My reward was not money, because that I do not have ... My rewards are the friendships I've created. Today, I am surrounded by loyal friends, I feel I am the richest man in the world. I never give up.
Coming from a country like mine, you know that word does not exist in our vocabulary. You can knock me down, but ... Surprise.... I get up again . Pessimists....always trying to destroy what the optimist is trying to build... I feel sorry for them ...They don’t have the capacity to make dream come true, and then try to destroy those who do. I feel sorry for them all because at the end of their miserable existence, they will look back and see that they left no legacy ...no mark on the world... just passed through here safely ... Now ask yourself what you are ...optimistic or pessimistic ...

Ten thousand things to say Juliano D'Lucca April 2011

I don’t like doors that are ajar. You don’t see everything, you can only peek inside. A little wind comes and only a further little glimpse inside with truths half told and lies badly told. I like open doors where the whole truth comes in.
I also like bear hugs, because they transmit sincerity. A hug consoles tears, sustains sadness and comforts souls.
We do not know what the next second, even the next millisecond will bring.
I do not write this month’s edition of the magazine with nostalgia but with insight. The year has just barely started and already many tragedies have hap- pened around the world. This makes me re think everything. Japan in its life of calmness and discipline was shaken by the biggest earthquake of the last 140 years, followed by a tsunami and aggra- vated by the radioactive contamination. I wonder how many parents died not being able to tell their child how much they loved them. How many children are now orphaned by losing parents and parent’s heartbroken losing chil- dren. How many friends died without forgiveness.
It was just the end of another day making plans for tomorrow and this is the way we live our days living with the thoughts of tomorrow and putting things off.
So I ask myself till how long will we have tomorrow?
It’s time to forgive now, it’s time to ask for forgiveness now, its also time to say how much we love now.
I do not want to wait for tomorrow, tomorrow has to become now.I don’t want to wait for a tragedy for me to realize what I have to do.
Be quick with what you have to do now. Do it today and don’t wait till tomorrow!

Ten thousand things to say Juliano D'Lucca March. 2011

Ilike the world at peace... unfortunately at times it comes from war. Sometimes, we need to stand against the world to achieve our goals. The saying “the end does not always justify the means” does not always apply. Egypt is one example. People who are honest, hardworking and tired of being exploited are now rising up against a 30 year dictatorship. Absolute power is dangerous. I think that this applies with everything. From the social- ist to the capitalist world; hence there are laws against monopoly. That kind of power shatters the soul of man. It cor- rupts your power of discression between right and wrong. What impressed me the most with the recent history of the Egyp- tian dictator, was the attitude of the U.S. government to sit on the fence. A govern- ment that makes war in the name of peace. A government that invades, slaughters and holds on behalf of freedom, but then was silent when it most needed to be heard. The old story that it’s good for you, but it’s not good for me is often times the same in our lives. We remain silent in the face of injustice for somehow we feel it does not concern or affect us. When you see people oppressed, suffering and left to die; stand up and raise your voice to say enough is enough. We must realize that there is a limit to everything. Thus mar- tyrs are born
.... Ordinary people, disgusted with the situation that they are in, say ENOUGH ... Even if it costs them their lives. When we fight for something we believe in its worth more then we could ever imagine. It’s the fuel that moves us, the energy that ignites us and that gives us courage to move on. Our strength and our ability to face obstacles is so much stronger than we think. Our insistence on the truth is what protects us with real armor ... From there, we become unattainable and invincible ... even though our bodies perish, our con- viction survives ... The perseverance of Egypt’s will serve as an example for all oppressed people across this vast world. The victory of the war against ourselves, against our fears and limitations is over. When we believe in our dreams, we are truly invincible ...
