avem timp/ we have time

"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 fii 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."

WE HAVE TIME

By Octavian Paller

Translated by Sorana Lucia Salomeia

"We have time for everything:

to sleep, to run from one place to another,

to regret having mistaken and to mistake again,

to judge the others and to forgive

ourselves,

we have time for reading and writing,

for making corrections to our texts, to regret ever having

written,

we have time to make projects and never

respect them,

we have time to make illusions and gamble

through their ashes later on.

We have time for ambitions and illnesses,

to blame it all on ambitions and details,

we have time to watch the clouds, advertisements or

some ordinary accident,

we have time to chase our wonders away

and to postpone the answers,

we have time to break a dream to pieces and then

to reinvent it,

we have time to make friends, lose them,

we have time to learn our lessons and then

forget them quickly afterwards,

we have time to be given gifts and not understand them.

We have time for them all.

But there is no time for just a drop of tenderness.

When we are about to get to that too – we die.

I have learned some things during my lifetime,

experiences that I am now sharing with you!!

I have learned that you cannot make somebody

love you;

All you can do is be the beloved one.

Everything else… depends on the others.

I have learned that, no matter how much I might care,

Others might not care at all.

I have learned that it could take years to earn somebody’s confidence

And only a few seconds to lose it.,

I have learned that it is not WHAT you have in life,

But WHO is there for you to have.

I have learned that charms could be of use for only

About 15 minutes,

Afterwards, nevertheless, you had better know something.

I have learned that you should never compare yourself

to what others can do better than you,

but you what you can do yourself;

I have learned that what happens to the others is not as import as

what I can do to help;

I have learned that in whatever you might cut things,

They will always turn out to have two sides;

I have learned that when you have to depart from your dearest ones,

you should do it with the warmest words;

It could be the last time you see them.

I have learned that you could carry on for a long time

After stating you cannot take it anylonger;

I have learned that heroes are those who do what is right,

when the ought to,

regardless of the consequences;

I have that there are people who love you

But do not know how to show it;

I have learned that when I am upset I have

the RIGHT to be so

But I do not have the right to be mean as well;

I have learned that true friendship continues

to exist even when great distances are involved

And that goes for true love too.

I have learned that, if somebody does not love you

the way you might want to be loved,

It does not mean they do not love you with all their heart.

I have learned that no matter how good a friend might be to you,

They will inevitably hurt you from time to time

And you will have to forgive;

I have learned that it is not always enough to be

forgiven by others,

Sometimes you must learn how to forgive

your own self;

I have learned that, regardless of how much you might suffer,

The world will never cease running because of your pain.

I have learned that the past and circumstances

could alter your

personality,

But it is certainly YOU to be held responsible for what you become;

I have learned that, if two people argue, it does not mean

they do not love each other,

As well as their not arguing would not prove that they subsequently

are in love.

I have learned that you should sometimes put the person

in the first place

And not their deeds;

I have learned that two persons could be watching the very same thing

And perceive two totally different meanings;

I have learned that, in spite of any consequences,

Those who are fair and honest with themselves

reach higher peaks in life;

I have learned that one’s life could be changed

in only a few hours’ time

By people who might have never even known them;

I have learned that when you believe there is

nothing more you could offer,

You will always find the strength to help a friend

who in need.

I have learned that writing,

Just like speaking,

Could soothe your inner pain.

I have learned that the ones you hold dearest

Are taken away from you far too soon…

I have learned that it is far too difficult to realize

Where to draw the borders between kindness, not hurting the others

and firmly sustaining your ideas.

I have learned to love

In order to be loved in my turn."
