Time Goes by Fast

Time goes so fast……………

I am sure many of you have asked yourself why time goes so fast, you had moments when sadness took hold your soul, you wanted to do something else or you got nostalgic about the time going fast, or not leaving your life at full capacity…

I’ve posted below a poem written by Octavian Paler, a famous Romanian poet  who describes the human nature and habits.  Take a moment, read this poem and start making time for what you really like and appreciate.

“We have time for everything.

Time to sleep, time to run to here and there

Time to regret that we made mistakes and time to make mistakes again,
Time to judge others and to absolve ourselves,
We have time to read and to write, to correct what we wrote, to regret what we wrote,
We have time to make plans and not to respect them,
We have time to make illusions for ourselves and to stir in the ashes later.
We have time for ambitions and sicknesses, time to blame the destiny and the details,
We have time to watch the clouds, the news or some accident,
We have time to banish our doubts, to delay the answers, to break a dream and then reinvent it,
We have time to make friends, to lose friends,
We have time to receive lessons and forget afterwards,
We have time to receive gifts and not to understand them.
We have time for everything.
There is no time for just a bit of tenderness and when we are about to do this we die.
I’ve learned some things in my life that I share with you!!

I’ve learned that you cannot make someone love you
All you can do is to be a loved person; the rest … depends on the others.
I’ve learned that as much as I care others might not care.
I’ve learned that it takes years to earn trust and just a few seconds to lose it
I’ve learned that it does not matter WHAT you have in your life but WHO you have.
I’ve learned that your charm is useful for about 15 minutes to manage in life; afterwards, you should better know something.
I’ve learned that it is not good to compare yourself with what others do better but compare yourself with what you can do
I’ve learned that it does not matter what happens to people, but it matters what I can do to solve it
I’ve learned that no matter how you look at it everything has two sides
I’ve learned that you should separate from your loved ones with warm words
It might be the last time you see them
I’ve learned that you can still continue for a long time after saying you cannot continue anymore
I’ve learned that heroes are those who do what they have to do, when they have to do it regardless the consequences
I’ve learned that there are people who love, but do not know how to show it
I’ve learned that when I am upset I have the RIGHT to be upset, but not the right to be bad
I’ve learned that real friendship continues to exist despite the distance and this is true also for real love
I’ve learned that if someone does not love you like you want them to it does not mean that they do not love you with all their heart.
I’ve learned that no matter how good of a friend someone is for you that person will hurt you every now and then and that you have to forgive him.
I’ve learned that it is not enough to be forgiven by others
Sometimes you have to learn to forgive yourself.
I’ve learned that no matter how much you suffer,
The world will not stop for your pain.
I’ve learned that the past and the circumstances might have an influence on your personality but that YOU are responsible for what you become
I’ve learned that if two people have an argument it does not mean that they do not love each other
but the fact that they do not argue does not prove that they love each other.
I’ve learned that sometimes you have to put on the first place the person, not the facts
I’ve learned that two people can look at the same thing and can see something totally different
I’ve learned that regardless the consequences those who are honest with themselves go further in life
I’ve learned that life can be changed in a few hours by people who do not even know you.
I’ve learned that even when you think there is nothing more you can give when a friend calls you, you will find the strength to help him.
I’ve learned that writing just like talking can ease the pains of the soul
I’ve learned that those whom you love the most are taken away from you too soon …
I’ve learned that it is too difficult to realize where to draw the line between being friendly, not hurting people and supporting your opinions
I’ve learned to love and to be loved.”

“We have time”, by Octavian Paler.

 

“Avem timp pentru toate.
Sa dormim, sa alergam in dreapta si-n stanga,
sa regretam c-am gresit si sa gresim din nou,
sa-i judecam pe altii si sa ne absolvim pe noi insine,
avem timp sa citim si sa scriem,
sa corectam ce-am scris, sa regretam ce-am scris,
avem timp sa facem proiecte si sa nu le respectam,
avem timp sa ne facem iluzii si sa rascolim prin cenusa lor mai tarziu.
Avem timp pentru ambitii si boli,
sa invinovatim destinul si amanuntele,
avem timp sa privim norii, reclamele sau un accident oarecare,
avem timp sa ne-alungam intrebarile,
sa amanam raspunsurile,
avem timp sa sfaramam un vis si sa-l reinventam,
avem timp sa ne facem prieteni, sa-i pierdem,
avem timp sa primim lectii si sa le uitam dupa-aceea,
avem timp sa primim daruri si sa nu le-ntelegem.
Avem timp pentru toate.
Nu e timp doar pentru putina tandrete.
Cand sa facem si asta murim.
Am invatat unele lucruri in viata pe care vi le impartasesc si voua!!
Am invatat ca nu poti face pe cineva sa te iubeasca
Tot ce poti face este sa fii o persoana iubita.
Restul … depinde de ceilalti.
Am invatat ca oricat mi-ar pasa mie
Altora s-ar putea sa nu le pase.
Am invatat ca dureaza ani sa castigi incredere
Si ca doar in cateva secunde poti sa o pierzi
Am invatat ca nu conteaza CE ai in viata Ci PE CINE ai.
Am invatat ca te descurci si ti-e de folos farmecul cca 15 minute
Dupa aceea, insa, ar fi bine sa stii ceva
Am invatat ca nu trebuie sa te compari cu ceea ce pot altii mai bine sa faca
Ci cu ceea ce poti tu sa faci
Am invatat ca nu conteaza ce li se intampla oamenilor
Ci conteaza ceea ce pot eu sa fac pentru a rezolva
Am invatat ca oricum ai taia
Orice lucru are doua fete
Am invatat ca trebuie sa te desparti de cei dragi cu cuvinte calde
S-ar putea sa fie ultima oara cand ii vezi
Am invatat ca poti continua inca mult timp
Dupa ce ai spus ca nu mai poti
Am invatat ca eroi sunt cei care fac ce trebuie,
cand trebuie
Indiferent de consecinte
Am invatat ca sunt oameni care te iubesc
Dar nu stiu s-o arate
Am invatat ca atunci cand sunt suparat am DREPTUL sa fiu suparat
Dar nu am dreptul sa fiu si rau
Am invatat ca prietenia adevarata continua sa existe chiar si la distanta
Iar asta este valabil si pentru iubirea adevarata
Am invatat ca, daca cineva nu te iubeste cum ai vrea tu
Nu inseamna ca nu te iubeste din tot sufletul.
Am invatat ca indiferent cat de bun iti este un prieten
Oricum te va rani din cand in cand
Iar tu trebuie sa-l ierti pentru asta.
Am invatat ca nu este intotdeauna de ajuns sa fi iertat de altii
Cateodata trebuie sa inveti sa te ierti pe tine insuti
Am invatat ca indiferent cat de mult suferi,
Lumea nu se va opri in loc pentru durerea ta.
Am invatat ca trecutul si circumstantele ti-ar putea influenta personalitatea
Dar ca TU esti responsabil pentru ceea ce devii
Am invatat ca, daca doi oameni se cearta, nu inseamna ca nu se iubesc
Si nici faptul ca nu se cearta nu dovedeste ca se iubesc.
Am invatat ca uneori trebuie sa pui persoana pe primul loc
Si nu faptele sale
Am invatat ca doi oameni pot privi acelasi lucru
Si pot vedea ceva total diferit
Am invatat ca indiferent de consecinte
Cei care sunt cinstiti cu ei insisi ajung mai departe in viata
Am invatat ca viata iti poate fi schimbata in cateva ore
De catre oameni care nici nu te cunosc.
Am invatat ca si atunci cand crezi ca nu mai ai nimic de dat
Cand te striga un prieten vei gasi puterea de a-l ajuta.
Am invatat ca scrisul
Ca si vorbitul
Poate linisti durerile sufletesti
Am invatat ca oamenii la care tii cel mai mult
Iti sunt luati prea repede …
Am invatat ca este prea greu sa-ti dai seama
Unde sa tragi linie intre a fi amabil, a nu rani
oamenii si a-ti sustine parerile.
Am invatat sa iubesc
Ca sa pot sa fiu iubit.”
