Une simple pensee

Souvent on marche, on parle, on rigole, on dit bonjour et on fait des sourires de courtoisie. Mais est-ce que l'on exprime à nos proches ce qu'ils sont pour nous, dans les bons et mauvais moment?.. et si on le faisait, est-ce qu'on le fait assez souvent? Est-ce que l'on prend des nouvelles des plus éloignés assez féquement?.. Si on s'arrêtait une minute dans notre vie mouvementé et que l'on prenait le temps d'y penser, de parler et de ne pas regretter, qu'un jour il soit trop tard.
Certain resume la derniere annee avec Barack Obama, Andy Warhol, Yves St-Laurent, le lancement de Angel par Thierry Mugler, Angelina et Brad, etc. De mon cote elle s'est resume a plusieurs pertes de gens proches, moins proches et tres proches. Les pensees qu'on a souvent après un décès sont remplis de regret de ne pas avoir dit 'je t'aime', de ne pas leurs avoir laisser entendre qu'on les appréciait, ou de ne pas avoir passer assez de temps avec eux, à rire, pleurer et s'amuser.
Une simple pensee pour que l'on confirme à ceux qui nous importe qu'on est la, ils penvent compter sur nous à toutes heures du jour et de la nuit, et ne pas oublier de leurs laisser savoir qu'on les apprécie grandement.

Thoughts

Michael Yanke-

I guess something that interests me and would like to share with others would be what I think is important, your thoughts. I never really gave much time to the things that have came out of my mind before, but then I started to read some self help books such as, As a Manthinketh, Think and Grow Rich and many more. Basically the concepts is, "Thoughts are things" and what you think about will eventually come to pass. All different thought's are categorized and placed in different sections of how they can affect your life. There is a saying "You can't lead a positive life and have negative thoughts." So as I became more and more interested I really feel that my life has altered a lot, and quite rapidly might I add. When I really wanted something like really bad and this is even before I was introduced to the book, the thoughts I had focused on had came to pass. Some people may think it will be such a big job to monitor your thoughts but it really isn't. I know what I want in life, and if I feel that I start to think of something else I know where to re focus myself. I think its a great practice, I feel better, healthier, and a better person. Its something I believe is important so I always try to remain positive even in times of despair. Always remember ... You never can tell what a thought will do. In bringing hate or love, for thoughts are things, and their airy wings, are swifter then carrier doves. They follow the law of the universe. Each thing creates its kind, And they speed o'er the track to bring you back what ever went out from your mind. Maybe this is not for everyone but this is how I choose to live my life.

Slumdog Millionaire

This weekend, with no projects due, no team meetings to attend and no laundry to do, I decided to do something I really enjoy: going to the movies. I watched Slumdog Millionaire, because I heard it had 10 Oscar nominations and won multiple Golden Globe awards. The best part is that after watching the film I realized that it indeed did deserve every award it received.
It is a movie that hits some very difficult themes, for instance poverty in developing countries, child abuse, corruption and violence. However, in the middle of it all there is a heartfelt love story and a driving pursuit for happiness. By the end of the film, I left the theatre feeling inspired by the characters that had to go through a rainstorm in order to get to the sunny side.
This film made me realize that intelligence is not only acquired by those that can afford a top of the line education. There is a difference between being a “book smart” and a “quick witted” and sometimes true intelligence is acquired when we get through our own experiences, when we take risks, when we make choices, when we lose what we love- things that we do not learn in school.
Slumdog Millionaire presents various strong values. I find that particularly appealing because I find that many of the recent films that I’ve seen revolve around society’s overwhelming obsession with power and wealth. However, this film touches a little deeper by the way the it presents the value of family, true friendship, the act of desperation for food and how people can live happily in the most humble way possible.
I don’t want to go into details about the movie because I don’t want to ruin it for you guys. This film was very enjoyable for me and I am anticipating the upcoming Academy Awards where I am sure Slumdog Millionaire will be recognized for its talented cast and crew.
For those of you who have not seen the film yet i highly recommend you get to a movie theatre and see it!!
Ps. Here’s a link to the trailer

Sortir à Montréal

Bonjour

Afin d’apprécier l’hiver et de profiter de son climat, il faut savoir se divertir. Je vous propose une visite dans le Vieux-Port de Montréal, et ce, plus particulièrement au Bar d’hiver. Comme vous le constaterez plusieurs activités conjointes sont organisées pour que vous passiez une excellente soirée. Pour ma part, je n’ai pas encore visité les lieux, une visite s'impose. Si quelqu’un d’entre vous peut me faire part de ses commentaires, cela me ferait grand plaisir.
