TUNDE ADEBIMPE: Failure is the best. After you fail, you’re free.

Fiecare om trebuie să lase ceva în urma lui atunci când moare, așa spunea bunicul meu. Un copil, o carte sau un tablou, o casă, un zid înălțat de mâna lui sau o pereche de pantofi. Sau o grădină. Ceva ce mâna ta a atins în așa fel, încât sufletul tău să aibă unde se refugia atunci când îți sosește ceasul; iar când oamenii se uită la copacul ori la floarea pe care le-ai sădit, tu ești acolo. Nu contează ce faci, spunea bunicul, atâta timp cât schimbi un lucru față de cum era înainte ca tu să-l atingi transformându-l în ceva care să îți semene de îndată ce-ți iei mâna de pe el. Deosebirea dintre omul care doar tunde iarba și un grădinar adevărat constă în atingere, spuse el. Cel care tunde iarba e ca și inexistent, grădinarul va trăi o veșnicie.

Kulno oli vait ja laskis Lutveid rääkida. Oli, nagu kuulaks ta iseennast, seda ennast, kes elas, patustas, kannatas ja kaebas aastate eest. Või ei kannatanud ega kaevanud tema sugugi nõnda? Ehk ei oska tema Lutvei kaebehelides muid toone tabada, kui aga ainuüksi neid, mida ta millalgi iseenese rinnas uulatanud? Võib-olla meie ei tea ilmast üldse muud, kui aga seda põrmukest, mis leidub vähemalt idunagi meis enestes? Kõik muu on ehk sealpool meie ilma läve, kõik muu on hauatagune, surnute riik, kuigi ta oleks elavaid täis. Nõnda mõistaksime teiste kannatusi ainult kannatades ja teiste valudele kaasa tundes tunneksime tõepoolest ainult iseenestele kaasa. Meid huvitab teiste kannatus ainult sel määral, kui palju nad meie viisil kannatavad. Kes kõigele kannatusele tahavad kaasa tunda, need peavad võima kogumi kannatusi maitsta, peavad võima kannatada kui ussike, kui rohulajuke, kui lõhnav lill, kui pakatavalt muhelev maa, kui liivaterake.

How shall the burial rite be read? The solemn song be sung? The requiem for the loveliest dead, That ever died so young?   Her friends are gazing on her, And on her gaudy bier, And weep! — oh! to dishonor Dead beauty with a tear!   They loved her for her wealth — And they hated her for her pride — But she grew in feeble health, And they love her — that she died.   They tell me (while they speak Of her “costly broider’d pall”) That my voice is growing weak — That I should not sing at all —   Or that my tone should be Tun’d to such solemn song So mournfully — so mournfully, That the dead may feel no wrong.   But she is gone above, With young Hope at her side, And I am drunk with love Of the dead, who is my bride. —   Of the dead — dead who lies All perfum’d there, With the death upon her eyes, And the life upon her hair.   Thus on the coffin loud and long I strike — the murmur sent Through the grey chambers to my song, Shall be the accompaniment.   Thou died’st in thy life’s June — But thou did’st not die too fair: Thou did’st not die too soon, Nor with too calm an air.   From more than fiends on earth, Thy life and love are riven, To join the untainted mirth Of more than thrones in heaven —   Therefore, to thee this night I will no requiem raise, But waft thee on thy flight, With a Pæan of old days.  

SIRÁCIDES30 Sir30:1El que ama a su hijo, le azota sin cesar, para poderse alegrar en su futuro. Sir30:2El que enseña a su hijo, sacará provecho de él, entre sus conocidos de él se gloriará. Sir30:3El que instruye a su hijo, pondrá celoso a su enemigo, y ante sus amigos se sentirá gozoso. Sir30:4Murió su padre, y como si no hubiera muerto, pues dejó tras de sí un hombre igual que él. Sir30:5En su vida le mira con contento, y a su muerte no se siente triste. Sir30:6Contra sus enemigos deja un vengador, y para los amigos quien les pague sus favores. Sir30:7El que mima a su hijo, vendará sus heridas, a cada grito se le conmoverán sus entrañas. Sir30:8Caballo no domado, sale indócil, hijo consentido, sale libertino. Sir30:9Halaga a tu hijo, y te dará sorpresas juega con él, y te traerá pesares. Sir30:10No rías con él, para no llorar y acabar rechinando de dientes. Sir30:11No le des libertad en su juventud, y no pases por alto sus errores. Sir30:12Doblega su cerviz mientras es joven, tunde sus costillas cuando es niño, no sea que, volviéndose indócil, te desobedezca, y sufras por él amargura de alma. Sir30:13Enseña a tu hijo y trabaja en él, para que no tropieces por su desvergüenza. Sir30:14Vale más pobre sano y fuerte de constitución que rico lleno de achaques en su cuerpo. Sir30:15Salud y buena constitución valen más que todo el oro, cuerpo vigoroso más que inmensa fortuna. Sir30:16Ni hay riqueza mejor que la salud del cuerpo, ni contento mayor que la alegría del corazón. Sir30:17Mejor es la muerte que una vida amarga, el descanso eterno que enfermedad permanente. Sir30:18Manjares derramados sobre boca cerrada, eso son las ofrendas de alimentos puestas sobre una tumba. Sir30:19¿De qué le sirve el sacrificio a un ídolo? ¡ni lo comerá ni lo olerá! Así aquel a quien persigue el Señor, Sir30:20que mira con sus ojos y gime. Escomo un eunuco que oprime a una virgen y gime. Sir30:21No entregues tu alma a la tristeza, ni te atormentes a ti mismo con tus cavilaciones. Sir30:22La alegría de corazón es la vida del hombre, el regocijo del varón, prolongación de sus días. Sir30:23Engaña tu alma y consuela tu corazón, echa lejos de ti la tristeza; que la tristeza perdió a muchos, y no hay en ella utilidad. Sir30:24Envidia y malhumor los días acortan, las preocupaciones traen la vejez antes de tiempo. Sir30:25Un corazón radiante viene bien en las comidas, se preocupa de lo que come.

Ai kishte dëgjuar më parë avionët të bënin zhurmë të sforcuar po jo si kjo kërkëllitje e metalit rreth e rrotull tij, sikur perçinat po dilnin vendit si ca kopsa të jakave të modës së vjetër. Veç kësaj, krahët qenë shumë të hollë. Edhe në një ditë të qetë e blu, po t'i shihje ato të dridheshin do të thoshe: një çift fletësh hekuri, ja se ç'janë. - Viktor, po anohemi gjithnjë e më tepër... S'kam parë kurrë kaq keq. Asnjë koment. S'mund të mohohej ajo që dukej. Avioni hidhej poshtë e lart si një kartë bixhozi. - Në qoftë se rrëzohemi... - Do të jetë faji im. Unë të futa këtu. Qe një çast fluturimi i rrafshtë, pa lëkundje. Viktori u habit që ritmi i zemrës së tij nuk qe rritur. As nuk e mbajti frymën dhe as nuk u djersit kur avioni nisi të bjerë përsëri. - Ti sikur s'çan kokë dhe aq, - tha Katrina. - Sigurisht që çaj. - Dëgjo Viktor. Nëqoftë se vdekja është përpara çdo minute, nëqoftë se do të përfundojmë në ujë... Dua të të pyes të më thuash diçka. - Mos e fillo këtë Katrinë. - Është fare e thjeshtë. Dua thjesht ta thuash këtë... - Lëri këto budallallëqe, Katrina. Në një kohë të tillë si kjo, të më pyet. E çfarë? Për dashurinë? - Zemërimi e bëri zërin e tij të ngjante përsëri me një flaut. Goja iu zmadhua dhe mustaqet gjithashtu iu zgjeruan. Ai qe gati të fliste edhe më ashpër. Ajo e ndërpreu: - Mos u bëj kështu me mua tani, Viktor. Nëqoftë se ne do të biem, pse nuk do të doje ta thoje këtë?... - E kape këtë rast për të më përdredhur krahun. - Në se ne nuk e duam njëri-tjetrin, atëherë çfarë bëjmë ne? Pse ndodhemi këtu? - U ndodhëm se ti je një grua dhe unë jam një burrë, ja pse ndodhemi këtu. Ç'mendim të çuditshëm që kishte: ateistët pranojnë ritin absolut. Gruaja këmbëngul dhe burri që po vdes, tund kokën. Pse jo? Pas pak, ata ndjenë ngritjen e kontrolluar të avionit. Ai kishte gjetur përsëri një shtresë të butë ajri dhe po fluturonte qetësisht. Ende në ankth, Katrina nisi të mendojë rreth atyre ç'i kishte shtënë në kokë fortuna. - Tani jemi mirë, - tha Viktori. Ajo ndjeu se ishte shumë më pak mirë se ç'kishte qenë ndonjëherë. O zot! Sa shumë humba, mendonte ajo. Dera e kabinës u hap dhe piloti i dytë tha: - Jeni mirë? Ishte rrugë e keqe. Por për një minutë jemi mbi Çikagon e jugut. - Një lumë fjalësh, një kërkëllitje e pakuptueshme erdhi nga kulla e kontrollit në Miduej. Viktori qe i qetë dhe dukej edhe me humor të mirë. Ç'vetëpërmbajtje kishte ai njeri! Dhe nuk t'i përmendte kundër teje, gjërat qesharake. E kishte shumë të mirë këtë gjë. Atje në spital, për shembull. Ai nuk mund të thoshte: "Të dua". Kjo do të qe shfajësim. Katrina vente e vinte nëpër fjalët e thënë nga ai e ajo, ndërsa avioni u afrua pranë tokës dhe u ul. I kishte mbetur mendja te të gjithë ato edhe kur i kaluan te helikopteri, nën fshikullimën e helikave. Vajzat e shërbimit aty, qenë të mësuara. Ato sikur thoshin: Mos u mërzit e dashur, dashuria do t'i zgjidhë problemet e tua. Bëje veten të meritueshme dhe do të dashurohesh. fq.126-128

There was no point talking to women at all; even meeting their eyes felt too dangerous. When he walked past a group of women on the road - laughing and joking and making arcs against the sky - Tunde said to himself, I'm not here, I'm nothing, don't notice me, you can't see me, there's nothing here to see.

Tunde was my Nigerian potential last year. It was a very platonic crush since no matter the dates we had, the late nights we laid up, and the times we’ve come so close to having sex that I could imagine the taste of his dick, we never had sex.

In a world where we are partly shaped by those we associate with, being paranoid that everyone is a backstabber or naïve that everyone has our back is a life-draining mindset. What counts is the courage to walk away from people who don’t bring out the best in us.

Penguins are birds endowed with flippers instead of wings - they can’t fly, but they are expert swimmers. Don't get caught up in others’ gifts and forget yours; if you haven't got it, you probably don’t need it.

Truth is we all have our flaws, and life is only beautiful to the degree we have room in our heart to accept others… with their quirks and all.

Life is full of risks of self-inflicted vicious cycles, but when you are full of great virtues you know how to face even the most difficult situations in life.

No one lives forever; everyone’s best shot at immortality rests on knowing that every breath of life is a precious privilege to become a forever blessing to others.

So much we don’t know. So much we will never know. And those moments we make the effort to harvest pearls of wisdom in our path are often the ones we look back on with enormous gratitude.

You may not be where you want to be in life, but you can’t speed up your journey by depriving yourself of the inner peace that flows from being grateful for how far you have come.

Each of us is a vital piece of the giant jigsaw puzzle that we call humanity. And our common humanity is never so meaningful and beautiful as when we make space for each of us to bring their most authentic self to life.

Contentment and greed are adversaries and can’t coexist in the heart. When greed is enthroned, life is exhausting in a restless search for better or more. Contentment is key to unlocking the richness of life.

it is love that enables this mutual generosity of spirit; we have to nurture our

When the heart has a habit of expecting zillions of dreams to manifest all at once, excellence in discerning and juggling the few that truly matter is a fundamental building block of success.

There are lots of easy path or wise path choices in life, and lots of meaningful moments of your life will be your well-deserved rewards for deliberately choosing wise over easy.

So often in life, the root cause of our pain is not the darkness that surrounds us, but our inability to use faith and hope to power through darkness to find joy and bliss waiting on the other side.

Blind spots and limiting beliefs can sabotage a person’s divine potential for greatness. You have to believe in yourself to imagine the best version of yourself and ignite the can-do mindset to make it happen.

Every life is a developing story until it’s all over. And you will always find the richest and most meaningful version of your story streaming on the faith and hope network.

No amount of material possession can guarantee inner peace. But gratitude for what we have, and patience with noble dreams yet to come true, will always lead us to the wellspring of bliss within.

Striving to live for everyone’s acceptance all the time is like burning your soul out to keep others warm and comfortable.

Everyone is born in the right place, at the right time, with a one-of-a-kind mission. The core challenge is to fall in love with our unique mission, so that we can recognise the right people and situations lined up for our success with utmost ease.

God has absolute wisdom and power in all situations, including those that can give anyone sleepless nights. And when we put in our best efforts and then put our trust in God, the stage is set for Him to showcase His Grace, as only He can.

Money is so adept at tempting heads with things that promise happiness never experienced before, but you will always find that things that bring true joy and fulfilment to hearts have no monetary value.

Life has a magical way of becoming more purposeful and meaningful when you transition from busying yourself to feed the ego to doing to truly make life better for yourself and others.

Genuine kindness is the healthiest blood type for humanity. One random act of kindness can circulate through humanity forever, begetting its kind and nourishing everyone it touches along the way.” ~Tunde Salami

Every great story has its unique set of destiny moments. And the best opportunities to build yourself a great story are often in those tough moments when you are tempted to give up on a worthy dream.

Even the most fruitful seeds remain dormant until planted in good soil. To give our dreams the best chance to blossom, our purposeful actions must speak louder than our pathetic excuses.

Every situation holds the possibility of a miracle. And for those who seek refuge in the One who shows His greatness in ways that the human intellect often can’t grasp, there is never a shortage of miracles to behold.

Her heart is beating so fast she doesn’t need the Peloton, but she powers out a forty-five-minute HIIT and Hills ride with Tunde anyway.

Little by little, small acts make a big difference. The good news is that consistent right actions breed greatness. The bad news is that repeated wrong choices effect insignificance. Choose wisely.

Learning to be happy in the face of unfulfilled dreams is a part of life. But when your refuge is the One with the proven track record of meeting every need at the right time, life is a joyful existence of making the best of every situation.

Don’t be fooled by the smile and sparkle; we all have our battles. And once you know what it’s truly like to struggle, you also know the true soothing power of blessing others with your kindness.

Life is a vast maze through which we are all called to find our unique path. And the foresight to choose the right step forward often flows from gratitude for how far we have come, and no regrets for choices that seem bad in hindsight.

Worry is one of life’s oldest scammers to avoid. No matter how wonderful a victim’s life was, worry will rob them of their bliss, and leave them feeling alarmed about dire scenarios that may never happen.

We all have a body. It’s the first thing that belongs to us. It’s where we live and how we move through the world, and our experience within it guides us into the different paths we take as we grow. When we transform it, it transforms us.

Time flies; yet we do so many things out of habits, good and bad. Every day is a new opportunity to choose your priorities wisely and turn the flight of time to your advantage.

Every noble human need has a divine provision. But life is only truly wonderful for all of us when each of us choose to be a channel of divine grace to others at their moments of need.

We are each gifted in a unique way. But success in finding great applications for our gifts hinges on the power of our courage to steer clear of the trap of evaluating our significance by how we rank in comparison to others.
