No.body is perfect

Congratulations Helena, for having written with your heart.

In this world we have a lot of different and extraordinary people. Everyone wants to be perfect, but I think nobody is perfect, I think it's impossible.

Lots of people are critical of their bodies and they go on diets and do a lot of exercise. Some people become anorexic because they go too far with those things , but this is wrong, this world needs open eyes ; the most important thing isn’t appearance but what’s inside of us, our heart ; we can’t see it but we can feel it. What’s the importance of our appearance when we haven’t got anything inside ? Nothing, nothing at all.

Thin or fat, tall or short, everyone is special and doesn’t need to be what the others want to but what we really are. We can’t be perfect but we can be happy in the imperfection.

Nobody is perfect but everyone can reach perfection in their lives, in their own special and unique way.

No.body is perfect

Written with the heart. Congratulations!

Nobody is perfect. For me this is a real fact, and, when a person says: “I am perfect and nobody is like me!”, I think that this person is full of himself, this person is out of his mind.

In all the world there isn´t a perfect person, and the very famous people are not perfect, they just have money and can buy beauty.

Sometimes I wish I were more perfect but the beauty I have is much more precious. In my entire life I have seen very pretty girls and boys, but they are often not nice, they are arrogant.

I have a lot of friends, and they have got a special and unique beauty inside and outside but I like them for the beauty they have got inside of them.

The beauty is something that all of us have. Inside or outside… is it important? Because the most important beauty comes from the inside.

No.body is perfect – very important, and so true!

Job: astronomer

Teaching is sometimes very hard. But students like this one prevent us from giving up or losing hope.

Thank you for being interested in learning.

Maria Antónia, English teacher.

 Hi, my name is Sofia and I am an astronomer. I have a very busy day.

In the morning I have to study the stars. Today I’m studying the Sun and the Earth. I go to the laboratory to study the Earth’s composition. I haven’t discovered it yet but I know that one day I will.

After that I study something else. I calculate the distances between the stars (the Sun and the Earth). I finish my work and then go home.

I travel very much because my home is in Portugal and the laboratory is in the USA. Of course that I don’t travel every day from Portugal to the USA because I rented a house in Los Angeles, but the laboratory is in New York. I travel from Los Angeles to New York. I don’t care about the distance because I love my work in spite of being difficult. I like difficult things; I think that is why I love my job.

Time to celebrate love

It's not just because saint valentine's is coming but also because I think that love is one of the most important ingredients of life. Either is if it's the love of a boyfriend or a girlfriend, a husband or a wife, the love of our children, of our friends, classmates, co-workers or students. Love is good, being in love is so nice and fills our hearts with joy and happiness. It makes us wanna go further and further. Love makes us strong and capable of doing everything. We become bold and radiant. We are surrounded by love stories - sad or happy -, they are everywehere: in books, like Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet", in films, like "City of Angels" (sad but sooooooo beautiful story) or the "Twillight" series, and in countless songs throughout the times.

Here are some of my favourite. Click on the link and enjoy!
