Taking with Dostoevsky

My meeting with The Greatest Dostoevsky

I was in my house in a beautiful morning of a sunny day, when suddenly a famous Russian writer appeared. It was Fyodor Dostoevsky that lived between 1821 and 1881.Dostoevsky was a Russian novelist, journalist, and short-story writer. His best books are: "Crime and Punishment" (1866), "The Idiot" (1868-69), "The Possessed" (1872), and "The Brothers of Karamazov" (1879-80). The quotes from Fyodor Dostoevsky are famous in the literature world. I was very surprised, because I never thought of meeting a great person in a simple moment. But I was happy a lot of, because I loved his novels. It was a great moment in my life. I had just read a part of his romance “The Idiot”. So, I asked him about his life. I would like to know several things about him. Dostoevsky for me, besides Gabriel Garcia Marques, Machado de Assis and João Guimarães Rosa, is the best writer of the world. I remembered what Dostoevsky said to me:

_ Hello! May I come in?

I surprised, said:

_ Oh! Sorry, get in, please.

Dostoevsky looked at me as who knew what I thought, about that moment, and told me:

_ My Dear! I am here because I know everything about you, and I would like to know, why did you not learn Russian yet? You should read my books in Russian, and only in Portuguese, or topics in English. You need to know about my language. It is a great language. I know that you are occupied a lot. However, it is important that you learn Russian. What is more, the Russian literature is very interesting as you know. I am a simple writer. Leon Tolstoy is the greatest Russian writer.

_ No Mr. Dostoevsky, I disagree. I like very much Tolstoy because of his importance of the world of literature, but I think that you are the greatest Russian writer. And what is more, I prefer you as my biggest writer.

_ Boris Pasternak also is a greatest Russian writer without talking in another.

_ I know Mr. Dost., I love Doctor Zhivago, from greatest writer Pasternak, but I like too, your writings.

Fyodor Dostoevsky was in silence as someone who could say several things, but do not want to talk more. So, after a long pause, he told me.

_ I will come back soon. Wait for me in the next year my friend. Good bye and be careful.

Then when I looked for him, he was not there anymore, and the beautiful morning of a sunny day had ended.

Adão

YOU WELCOME

This is my blog. Here is a little about myself and my family.
I like to make friends and know nice people.

Gladiator
Motivation
Success, acknowledgment, fame, glory many of us fight for reasons like that but you don’t build a good name from one day to the next.
It is necessary to work hard, even if there are stumbles and falls.
It is necessary to overcome obstacles, it is necessary to have motivation persevere and insists.
Life is a succession of battles.
Job, family, friends, all of us have a current status.
“What we do in life echoes in eternity”.
And we also have expectations for the future
“Three weeks from now I’ll be playing with my crops”.
“Imaging what you’ll be and it will be so”.
However the twists and tricks of fate, takes us by surprise.
“Greatness is a vision. Exactly”
One can’t always to what one likes but those that like what they do and are proud of all what they do for the better make more progress day by day.
There are moments of quiet, ethic, decisive moments, when your good intentions are not good enough that’s when life demands of us courage, boldness, creativity and an unquenchable fighting spirit.
The truth is that problems and setbacks happen more frequently than you would like.
Times change, new challenges arise and new objectives the true warriors look into the eyes of the future without fear or arrogance but with the confidence of those who are ready for battle.
Living is also been prepared for difficult situations, how we approach the difficulties is what makes the difference.
Sometimes we ask how can we cope with the radical changes that we are face with like acting in a new scenario with things we used to do so well now need to be relearned?
“Strengths and honor”
And how can we fight without letting go of fundamental values?
And more:
How do we know exactly what needs to be done at the right time?
The amazing things is that it is precisely upon facing adverse situations that many of us rediscover the best in ourselves: ethics, friendship, the capability to create new strategies based on experience and talents that promote positive alliances, spirit of leadership, the awareness of the strength that resides on true team work.
All this come vivid when required by circumstances but one knows there is an important ultimate goal.
Naturally is not easy to give up habits, customs, is not easy to adapt to new environments or employ resources we are not familiar with, but all warriors know that pessimism and/or uncertainty hold one back on moments like this.
Even if the treat comes from many sides with agility, strength and determination we can achieve our goals.
A combination of energy and intelligence as well as a balance between emotion and reason are essential to success.
It is the most satisfying feeling to reach the end of a task with the feeling of duty fulfilled. And receive the accolades and respect of all our colleagues and admiration of the people we love.
To hear our names spoken with pride, the pride to have overseen the obstacles the opportunity of growth. The price of been able to face life’s ups and downs and win.
The pride of been a winner without giving up fundamental, moral and ethical values.
