My soul was in a hurry
I counted my years and discovered that I have less time to live than lived.

I feel such a child, who has won a box of chocolates: the first eaten with pleasure, but when he realizes that he left only a few, it really starts to eat them with pleasure and savoring.
I do not have time for endless conferences on the statutes, laws, procedures and internal rules, knowing that will not be achieved nothing.
I have no time to make the absurd people who do not behave in accordance with their age.

I do not have time to struggle with mediocrity. I do not want to be in the meetings where inflated ego.

I can not stand manipulators and opportunists. I am concerned about the envious people who are trying to discredit the more able to grab themselves their positions, talents and achievements.
I left too little time to discuss the headlines. I do not want this, because my soul is in a hurry. It left too little chocolates in the package.
I want to live with people who are very human. People who can laugh at their own mistakes, which achieved their success. People who understand their calling and do not hide from their responsibilities. Those who defend human dignity and only want to be on the side of truth, justice and righteousness. This is what makes life worth living.
I want to surround yourself with people who know how to touch the hearts of others. People who are living through the heavy blows learned to grow and kept the gentle touch of the soul.
Yes, I'm in a hurry, I hasten to live with an intensity that can only maturity.

I try not to waste any of the sweets, which I left. I'm sure they will be more delicious than the ones I've already eaten.
My goal - to reach the end, in harmony with oneself, with my family and conscience.
Did you think that you have two lives, and suddenly you realize that you had, and there is only one.
