Too Silly, Too GOOD!!!

I saw this in one of my friends notes in facebook and could not resist to post it here.
Specially dedicated to Latinos del Mundo!!!
________________

It's a romantic full moon, when Pedro said,
'Hey, mamacita, let's do Weeweechu.'

'Oh no, not now, let's look at the moon!'
said Rosita.

'Oh, c'mon baby, let's you and I do Weeweechu. I love you and it's the perfect time,'
Pedro begged.

'But I wanna just hold your hand and watch the moon.'
replied Rosita.

'Please, corazoncito, just once, do Weeweechu with me.'

Rosita looked at Pedro and said,
'OK, one time, we'll do Weeweechu.'

Pedro grabbed his guitar and they both sang.....

'Weeweechu a Merry Christmas,
Weeweechu a Merry Christmas,
Weeweechu a Merry Christmas,
and a Happy New Year.'

Growing vs. Growing Up...

There is something powerful about growing up.

There is something even more powerful about
growing.

The Law of Garbage Truck!!! The Video...

Take a look at the video that David Pollay has created to share with us the Law of Garbage Truck and ask us to join him in the pledge!!!

The No Garbage Trucks!™ Pledge:

"I do not accept Garbage in my life.

When I see Garbage Trucks,
I do not take them personally.
I just smile. I wave. I wish them well.
And I move on.

And I do not spread Garbage to others.
I am not a Garbage Truck!

I do not accept Garbage in my life."

Alone...

From childhood's hour I have not been
As others were; I have not seen
As others saw; I could not bring
My passions from a common spring.

From the same source I have not taken
My sorrow; I could not awaken
My heart to joy at the same tone;
And all I loved, I loved alone.

Then- in my childhood, in the dawn
Of a most stormy life- was drawn
From every depth of good and ill
The mystery which binds me still:

From the torrent, or the fountain,
From the red cliff of the mountain,
From the sun that round me rolled
In its autumn tint of gold,

From the lightning in the sky
As it passed me flying by,

From the thunder and the storm,
And the cloud that took the form
(When the rest of Heaven was blue)
Of a demon in my view.

Edgar Allan Poe

WARNING: "WE" does not exist without "I"...

Lately I have been witnessed how so many new "gurus" of leadership, social entrepreneurship, etc. keep on making this strong emphasis on the "we" as the most important element of any human and organizational process...

I assume that those people are making a point that is very valid under the premise that cannot exist WE without "I"...
However today I saw a slide show in which stated clearly the countdown from the 5 more important words in Leadership...

The 5 more important words...
The 4 more important...
The 3...
The 2...
And the MOST important word is....
WE

So far, cool...
After that, and out of the blue, in a slide that I not really understand why is there, I read:

"The least important word: I"

WTF!!???

I lost all interest for the opinions of whoever made the slide show...
Not because different opinions are not welcomed, but because of the fact that I think stating such things as truths can mislead people, mostly young people in search for answers and that trust what "gurus" have to say...

Unfortunately, we live in a stupid world where people are taught to listen and learn from "gurus", to believe what they say, and to follow the "book"... (whatever the book is, we are all surrounded by books that we are supposed to follow...)
Instead of living in a world where young people are encouraged to live and discover by themselves life and make their own conclusions...

Well, I am here not to state a truth, but MY truth, what I believe...
I believe there cannot be WE without I.
I believe the most important word in life is "I"...
I makes us take responsibility:

I made a mistake vs. They do not listen

I believe vs. This is the truth

I feel vs. People think/say/never... (looong etc here)

My use of I has freed me...

The absence of I in some parts of my life condemned me to sorrow and self-pity, excusing myself for everything by blaming the others...

-----------

Don't get me wrong, is not about isolating myself from the world, at the en of the day "I" is the result of my interactions with all the people that I have meet in my life, the ones that I loved, the ones that I disappointed, the ones that made me laugh, the ones that I cried for... All of them...

But I feel deep inside that is so dangerous to live in a world where we are being brainwashed about it, to believe that WE is more important than I...

I believe that:
WE is crucial for US as a community of life.
I is crucial for LIFE itself.

For Dey:
The most important word is "I"
The rest is secondary.
Because I love myself and accept who I am I can be part of the world, 

I can belong to WE.

I am not looking for a solution to my problems and a scape to my sorrow in the WE...

I am looking for a sense and feeling of community in the WE.

A community of very strong, determined and powerful Is.

Love tons.

From the I that I am to the I that is reading...
