the ethical theory that pleasure (in the sense of the satisfaction of desires) is the highest good and proper aim of human life.

Authenticity doesn’t follow up a cheerful greeting with hollow conversation; it’s a guarded character that gradually rewards persistence. Pay your dues…

Quer o destino que eu não creia no destino E o meu fado é nem ter fado nenhum Cantá-lo bem sem sequer o ter sentido Senti-lo como ninguém, mas não ter sentido algum Ai que tristeza, esta minha alegria Ai que alegria, esta tão grande tristeza Esperar que um dia eu não espere mais um dia Por aquele que nunca vem e que aqui esteve presente

There is a moment when neither of us knows whether to shake hands and, in the end, it's Romy who breaks the ice with a hug. It's a reminder that, in spite of all her talent and fame, she's still awkward; still the quiet one who likes to hang back and observe. But she's comfortable with that. Her power comes from finally having accepted herself and knowing that, in a world of noise, sometimes the greatest strength comes from not shouting.

At the moment you may do a lot of reflecting on who you are, what you have achieved so far in your life, and what your real goals and values are. This is a good time for introspection, because you are able to be realistic about your strengths and weaknesses, and therefore any choices you make will reflect authentic qualities within you rather than the expectations of others or fantasies of who you would like to be.
