Breath of Life 

If you want to be happy
Try to be like the deaf who don’t hear,
The blind who don’t see, So that you don’t hear and don’t see what makes you suffer.

If you want to be happy…
Try not to remember moments from the distant past,
Moments that never come back, Impossible to make your present happy.

If you want to be happy
Don’t let yourself be dominated by everything you feel.
Don’t change your smile for your sadness, Don’t be bitter for your disbelief, your disappointments.

If you want to be happy…
Don’t lock yourself in your solitude…
Seek to be like the deaf who cannot hear,
The blind who cannot see.

AND SO, WHO KNOWS YOU WILL BE HAPPY.
