personal legend only accomplished by faith

To fufill my greatest dream that does not include material items such as riches, but instead something that makes spiritually happy and helps people.  This task is a difficult one but it is not impossible. All I have to do is to proceed, believe and never give up.  One person can make a difference when they stand up for a righteous cause no matter what the odds against them are, example martin luther king, Malcolm x and many others.

 I want to join these people who I listed above in the history books. I want to be remember more then just a person who was rich but spiritually rich. Many people want the same thing as myself but they don't know how to accomplish this. The only way to do this in my opion is to do what you love, do it in a way that will not only benefit you but everyone around you.  Thankful for me I know what I want to do in life that will not only benefit myself but everyone who listens.

My goal my personal legend that I want to accomplish is to become a rapper. Many people think that this idea is foolish but many people don't understand the power of music and how it can move a whole generation. Now and days rap is only filled with profanity,violence and drugs. Now if we look at the youth their is a raise in drug use, violence and kids losing their morals. There is something trebly wrong with the world. Something that comes for within the human body something the bible refers to as sin. Sin has caused wars, killings,rape,thefts and many more other awful things. The music now in days just influences peoples mind to commit these awful things. But my plan will be to help the world with my music that will peach the word of god and lead kids away from this path. all they have to do is listen and follow.

gods by your side


god forgive me for all my sins
forgive me for all the empty bottles of gin
im just trying to have a conversation with you
but I'm just a lost youth trying to figure out the truth
im trying to have a conversation with you god
but the telephone keeps me at aw
it seems no matter how hard I pray and search
i cant even find you inside the heart of the church
my dads left my friends left the only thing i got left
is hope one day you'll lend me a hand even if its your left
theres no more empty seats so I'm left standing up on the t
i feel as lost as every single one of my own dreams
i just need your love kindness and guidance
but i couldn't find you at the office or guidance
schools never gave me much of an answer
the teachers still cant find a cure for cancer
but they still tell me that science will help me triumph
but i still have second thoughts of my alliance with science
they keep trying to tell me to question my beliefs
but i keep telling them that you'll be here shortly
maybe your just partying it up inside the club
but all i find is false love hope and some real drugs
i take a couple just to stay awake for a couple of days
maybe you'll show yourself to me on sunday
but the truth is your by my side
waiting for me to believe and follow you and my dreams

The Upsides Of School And Work

Gratitude in the work place. Even though its more easier then said then done, my past experience as a middle class worker has opened up many new gates for me. I complained about various jobs Ive had in the past but these jobs shaped my mentality and helped me become the person I am. I learned various things from the jobs I had all the way from cooking,cleaning, doing laundry,yard work and various other essential things that has helped me become independent.

Each day I go to work I learn new things that will help me throughout the course of my life. My work has been what has provided me to eat and live on my own. Even though sometimes I don't wanna be there I am glad because many people are unemployed begging for someone to give them a job. Each day passes and I think how my work will help me complete my education in school.

Even though school can be annoying sometimes I am grateful that I have the opportunity to learn how to fulfill my dreams and accomplish them. School will open the doors that I want. School will give me the opportunity to better my future and accomplish things that I only have dreamt of. In the boy who harnessed the wind a kid from Africa wanted to go to school so bad but didn't have enough money to afford to go to his classes. This is just another reason why I should be grateful of all these opportunities that I have because people would kill to be in my position.    

CHOOSE ME
dedication and education will help me accomplish any situation
in this nation we go through aggravation but ill surpass any revelation
I will focus and complete anything with ease that you will think its hocpocus
I will follow orders like a warrior
on the front line I will risk my life for what is right
I have the twenty twenty vision
with the right position
im always on target always making the right decision
im known to never give up until I am on top of the thrown
I am albert Einstein's clone thinking beyond the unknown
ill finish even if i have to finish it alone
I have experience that has shaped me into becoming brilliant
My mind will never be affected because i am resilient
ive surpassed the billions of civilians
I am the right choice even if its night or if its light
most important I live my life without any spite
 

The stories of my future

My ideal future is complicated. I want to have many different jobs my ideal jobs would be , rapper, pilot,CIA agent, FBI or any job that has excitement and the opportunity to travel the world. My pay check would be enormous enough to live till I die from one pay check, this would allow me to fulfill all my dreams of helping my family,friends and people that are not as fortunate as I am. I plan on having three kids of my own and then adopting at-least five  kids from third world countries to give them an opportunity to have a better life. 

Working as a pilot is a stress full and lonely job sometimes. You have to fulfill the companies needs and sometimes work over night. One night I was very tired I worked for three over night shifts in a row which is technically not allowed but I was forced to, I also didn't have my co-pioloit with me by my side and I fell asleep at the wheel and crashed into a deserted tropical island. To my luck everyone survived we built a huge home for all of us to live in until we got where rescued three years later during these three years I found the love of my life and got married and had three kids

At age nineteen I started to invest in the stock market. I didn't have that much money so I deiced to invest in dollar stocks and I had a feeling that this one stock was going to be my stock that made me a millionaire. I invested all my savings one thousand dollars, it was a gamble of the dice but i took it. Overnight to my surprise this one dollar stock grow so rapidly that I made millions in a day! This was the start to my new life as an investor. These one dollar stocks was where it was at, even though there was millions of them I had a gift to pick out the ones that rose to the top. Each of my investments made at least hundreds of thousands of dollars. I bought my pent house apartment in new york and married my beautiful wife and started a charity fun for kids that didn't have parents and opened up an orphanage, which became my family.

The universe will bring me this week

a little bit of peace and prosperity 

it will give me courage to face my problems

not only courage but bravery so i can solve them

it will bring me passion

so I can stop proceranating 

it will give me happiness 

so i can enjoy my life 

it will give me success 

it will help me achieve and pass all my tests

so I can understand the twists and turns up ahead

it will get me one step closer to achieving my dreams

it will give me things that i need

most of all it will give me love

the most important thing of all

pictures of my future

These pictures represent my future goals, I plan on completing all of these things before I die. I first want to perform at a concert and put up a good show. Then I want to build my own studio and recored label and become better then Kendrick Lamar. Then I plan on going on a world tour where I can perform music all over the world. I plan on getting rich off of this and making enough money to buy myself a cool car, teach people how to be successful and then buy my mom a nice house. After I plan on helping kids in Africa by building houses and giving food away to the hungry. Then I plan on moving back to brazil and getting involved with politics hopefully become president. Then I plan on getting married have kids and watch them grow. Then I plan on dieing an honorable death fighting for something I believe in either trying to save someone, being assassinated for a cause or just some cool sorta death thats not to boring where people will remember me as a hero.


POEM
MY FUTURE IS CRYSTAL

My crystal ball
tells me it all
tells me about my future and my past
how to surpass all my goals and sharpen my craft
I will comfirm my spot on the top
no matter the time of the watch
i will be on top
because that is my dream and the only thing on my thoughts

My crystal ball
tells me it all
tells me about my future and my past
and tells me about how anything I can grasp
no matter the overcast

Passion Of My Life

One of my greatest passion in life is writing and making rap lyrics. Everyday seven days a week, I try my best to at least write one rap song. This sometimes may take several hours depending on how complex the lyrics and rhyme schemes are. Sometimes I get home for work and finish my homework and stay up late at night trying to finish a song. I take mental notes throughout the day when I'm not able to write some lyrics down I remember them in my head. This exercise I do, is fun for me and I enjoy it. If I was able to do this for a full time job everyday of my life I would love to do it.

If I could make rapping into a career I would have to become extremely dedicated to it and make songs many songs. Now in days everyone is trying to rap so it has become very competitive. In this case if I could not make a good song that people are willing to listen to I could always sell my rap lyrics or give rap lessons. I could also learn how to become an audio engineer and work with people who rap. There are many different possibilities to get involved in the rap industry through promoting for other artists, writing their lyrics, making beats for them, or just making your own song. If I could be involved in any of the areas that I listed I would be more then happy to even if the pay wasn't that good.

The services I would be involved in would target the younger population the young adults ages vary usually from fifteen to twenty eight. My that I would be willing to work for is to target people at a young age with music to help them do better in life and serve as a type of mentor. I would also be willing to work with other artists as a coach or help them promote their work as long as it has an a positive  message. Young artists who are usually gifted have a lack of promotion that will get their work out there. So if I could help these kids as a manger of some sort it would be awesome because I would be able to help them fulfill their dreams. If I would be able to promote my own stuff and get people to listen I think it would send out a positive message and help them think of whats really going on in the world that we live today.

I WILL STALK YOU


The trail that i walk every single day
Including most of the nights that i stay awake
Ill chase you until im out of breath and turn blue
We will do this dance until I cant keep my stance
Because if i don't chase you i will loose you
If im able to succeeded if im able to proceed
I will never give up on this dream
Ill always be okey because you will lead the way
And our dull reality will break away
And you will be togther for the rest of our days
But i plead with you and beg you
To give me this chance to have this one last dance
Please help me continue our romance
Your are my love and my drug
Ill never stop searching for you as an addict does
I must admit that i wont stop unless im ten feet under in a pit
I will continue this dance even if the music is at the end of its chant
I will stalk you everywhere you go like a hawk
Because you belong to me
because you are my dream

THE ALCHEMIST BOOK REVIEW BY VITOR MOUZINHO

Paragraph 1: Introduction.  How would you describe the plot and and the thesis of this book?

The alchemist was written by Paulo Coelho the worlds best selling author. This book has inspired many people in the world with over thirty millions copies sold and translated into fifty six different languages.  Why is the book so famous and inspiring one may ask. The plot of this book is of a boy named Santiago  he is a humbled shepherd who leaves his simple life to follow his personal legend. In the book it describes a personal legend as your propose in life something that is your dream to accomplish.  He passes through many tribulations to go follow his dreams to see the egyptian pyramids.  He meets many new friends and the love of his life. Reading this book I came out with an out come that the thesis of this book is, that if you follow your dreams the whole universe will help you accomplish your dreams.

Paragraph 2:  Focus on one part of the story that really hit you - and made you realize something.  What was happening in the story and what did you learn from it?  How does it relate to your experience?

Reading the book the alchemist it taught me something important. In the book Santiago meets the love of his life in the deserts while he was searching for his treasure. Even though Santiago became very rich , a leader and didn't want to leave he was convinced by his friend that love should never stand in the way of someone chasing their dreams.This passage in the book relates to reflects similarities that I have faced in my life. Before I enrolled in college I had a girl where I lived that both of us loved one another to fulfill my dream of going to college and getting an education I had to leave her. Even though it was for the best I did not want to leave but she convinced me to go because if I didn't she would feel like it was her fault that I did not get an education.  So after reading this book it made me reflect on the past and realize something that I subconsciously know, that love should never stand in the way of someone following their dreams.

Paragraph 3: Critique the book.  What did you like about the book, and what did you not like about the book.  Feel free to be honest about your true opinions.

Reading the book The Alchemist has made me thinking about many different possibilities in life and has encouraged me to keep following my dreams. The thing that I love most about The Alchemist is how it inspires people to fulfill their dreams and take chances. Like Santiago who gave up everything that he had just to follow his dreams even though he was robbed three times! Unfortunalty nothing in this world is perfect which includes this book. Throughout the book the plot keep me flipping through the pages non stop. But at the ending of the story Santiago finds his treasure and becomes a very wealthy man. I didn't like this pat because I wanted the treasure to be something more unpredictable something more than wealth its self.  

Paragraph 4:  Would you recommend this book to a friend?  Write why or why not?  Who would it be good for?

                                   The Alchemist has been one of the best books I have read in a while. It would defiantly without a doubt be on my list of books to recommend to my friends. I would recommend this book because it inspires people to get up and follow their dreams. I would recommend this to my friends who are depressed with their life style. This would help them change their ways and switch it up to go chase their dreams.Overall this book I would really recommend to anyone because it is a good read and it motivates people to do what they always  wanted to do.      

Fulfilling your dreams like the alchemist 

Santiago went through rough and thick to fulfill his dreams

dreams made him leave his simple life and schemes 

on his search he discovered many things

he even befriend a king!

he learned to read the soul of the earth

he even learned to turn lead into gold

almost their  god answered his prayers

gave him a beautiful girl to who he truely loved

but he gave up his love for a moment to find his treasure from above 

but he promised to come back cause it was true love

if a boy can find his life's joy

why cant you just follow your heart through and through

keep on the path Santiago passed through thief's and psychopaths

so never give up and get up off your ass

and find out the calculations and do the math

to finally fulfill your path

one second at a time one day a time

climb and climb until you have reached your prime

remember to look at the time

and fulfill them before the end of your time

  

Gratitude and giving thanks

This week, we are obviously thinking about gratitude.  I'd like you to write a three paragraph journal entry that answers the following questions:

1.  What do you tend to take for granted?

It is human nature for a person to take things for granted. Every day that passes things happened in our lives that we never give thanks for. Only when we lose that thing that we should have been grateful for we realize how we never gave thanks for it. In my life I have many situations like this that I forget to thank god for. Even though there has been many challenges in my life there has been many good things in my life. I usually to for granted my health,my job and where I live. Even though I miss my family in brazil i have to thank god that I am in america the land of opportunity. There are many people without jobs and I sometimes take this for granted. There are many sick people in the world that cant even walk! But god has blessed me with health even though I take it for grant sometimes.

2.  What are you grateful for (what things, experiences, people, etc)

There are many things I am grateful for. I am very grateful I am alive and well. I am very grateful to have my own apartment. Ever since I can remember I have always wanted my own place. Now I have my own place that is safe and I can call home. I am so very grateful to meet my good friends Phyllis and Toby. Phyllis and Toby have reminded me of my grandparents and they are very kind and trust worthy people that has helped me through out my life. I am grateful the most for such a nice mother that has helped me through out everything. Even though my dad has not been a good influence in my life my mom made up for it by always helping me with everything.

3.  What are some of the the good things that you you could "take in" and absorb more?  Take in the good and write about the experience

some more of the good things I could take in would be laughing more. Even though I am a very goofy kid I would like to laugh even more! Laughing is cure to everything I think if your always laughing you will always be happy. Whenever I am down and feel sad if I turn on the T.V. or see something funny happening I start to laugh and forget about the negative and enjoy laughing. Who doesn't love laughing any ways to me laughing is a gate way to happiness and if you have a good senesce of humor and dont take what everyone says so serious you will always be happy!

laugh and be happy

or live die miserable  

find your happiness 

happiness is life
happiness keeps us alive
happiness is life

to be happy is 
is to be fully content
 so find happiness

to be happy or
to be happy or be sad 
that is the question 

happiness moves us
moves us each day of our lives
that is what we strive

happiness and happiness
follow me everywhere i go
dont leave me alone
