VALUE WHAT IS YOURS! The Song of the Birds

Slide 2: 

THE OWNER OF A SMALL BUSINESS, A FRIEND OF THE POET OLAVO BILAC, MET HIM ON THE STREET AND ASKED HIM

Slide 3: 

“MR. BILAC, I NEED TO SELL MY SMALL FARM THE ONE YOU KNOW SO WELL. COULD YOU PLEASE WRITE AN ANNOUNCEMENT FOR ME FOR THE PAPER?”

Slide 4: 

BILAC WROTE

Slide 5: 

“FOR SALE, A BEAUTIFUL PROPERTY, WHERE BIRDS SING AT DAWN IN EXTENSIVE WOODLAND, BI-SECTED BY THE BRILLIANT AND SPARKLING WATERS OF A LARGE STREAM.

Slide 6: 

THE HOUSE IS BATHED BY THE RISING SUN. IT OFFERS TRANQUIL SHADE IN THE EVENINGS ON THE VERANDA.

Slide 7: 

SOME TIME LATER, THE POET MET HIS FRIEND AND ASKED WHETHER HE HAD SOLD THE PROPERTY?

Slide 8: 

TO WHICH HE REPLIED: I’VE CHANGED MY MIND. WHEN I READ WHAT YOU HAD WRITEN, I REALIZED THE TREAESURE THAT WAS MINE.

Slide 9: 

SOMETIMES WE UNDERESTIMATE THE GOOD THINGS WE HAVE, CHASING AFTER THE MIRAGES OF FALSE TREASURES.

Slide 10: 

WE OFTEN SEE PEOPLE LETTING GO OF THEIR CHILDREN, THEIR FAMILIES, THEIR SPOUSES, THEIR FRIENDS, THEIR PROFESSION,

Slide 11: 

THEIR KNOWLEDGE - ACCUMULATED OVER MANY YEARS , THEIR GOOD HEALTH, THE GOOD THINGS IN LIFE.

Slide 12: 

THEY THROW OUT THE WINDOW WHAT GOD HAS GIVEN THEM, SO FREELY, THINGS WHICH WERE NOURISHED WITH SO MUCH CARE AND EFFORT .

Slide 13: 

LOOK AROUND, APPRECIATE WHAT YOU HAVE: YOUR HOME, YOUR LOVED ONES, FRIENDS ON WHOM YOU CAN REALLY COUNT, THE KNOWLEDGE YOU HAVE GAINED, YOUR GOOD HEALTH.

Slide 14: 

AND ALL THE BEAUTIFUL THINGS OF LIFE,

Slide 15: 

THAT ARE TRULY YOUR MOST PRECIOUS TREASURE.

Slide 16: 

WE CAN NO LONGERT SHOWER KINDNESS ON THOSE WE LOVE, AFTER THEY HAVE DIED.

Slide 17: 

IT IS USELESS TO WANT TO RE-DO THE WORK THAT WE MAY HAVE DONE NEGLIGENTLY. IT‘S BEST TO APPRECIATE AND DO THINGS WELL NOW.

Slide 18: 

ASK OF GOD AT EVERY MOMENT THAT OUR PROBLEMS AND CONCERNS NEVER DEGENERATE INTO FEELINGFS OF SADNESS AND ANXIETY.

Slide 19: 

BE IN UNION WITH GOD, WHO WILL PROVIDE THE COURAGE NEEDED TO BE CERTAIN OF VICTORY IN THE STRUGGLE, BECAUSE GOD WILL GIVE WITH ABUNDANCE WHAT WE NEED.

Slide 20: 

WE ARE ALL IMPERFECT. ALWAYS PRAISE AND VALUE YOUR FAMILY, DO ALL YOU CAN TO MAKE IT EVEN BETTER. ALWAYS PRAISE AND VALUE YOUR WORK-COMPANIONS . SEE WHAT YOU CAN DO TO IMPROVE YOUR ENVIRONMENT.

Slide 21: 

INSTEAD OF ISOLATING YOURSELF, BECAUSE OF WEAKNESS OR FAILURE, SEEK TO INVEST IN TRUE AND CONSTRUCTIVE FRIENDSHIP IN YOUR LIFE.

Slide 22: 

FAITH IN GOD IS NECESSARY TO STRENGTHEN SELF-ESTEEM IN DEALING WITH DAILY PROBLEMS.

Slide 23: 

MY WISH FOR YOU BE WITH GOD – AND MAY GOD BE WITH YOU
