"Today"

Today I will delete from my diary two days;

Yesterday and tomorrow.

Yesterday was to learn,

And tomorrow will be the consequence

Of what I can do today.

Today I will face life

With the conviction that this day

Will not ever return.

Today is the last opportunity

I have to live intensely,

As no one can assure me

That I will see tomorrow's sunrise.

Today I will be brave enough

Not to let any opportunity pass me by,

My only alternative is to succeed.

Today I will invest

My most valuable resourse;

My time,

In the most transcendental work;

My life.

I will spend each minute;

Passionately,

To make of today

A different and unique day in my life.

Today I will defy

Every obstacle,

That appears in my way,

Trusting I will succeed.

Today I will resist pessimism,

And I will conquer the world with a smile,

With a positive attitude

And expecting always the best.

Today I will make of every ordinary task

A sublime expression.

Today I will have my feet on the ground,

Understanding reality,

And gaze upon the stars

To invent my future.

Today I will take the time to be happy,

And I will leave my footprints,

And my presence in the hearts of others.

Today I invite all to begin a new season,

Where we can dream;

That everything we undertake is possible,

And we fulfill it with joy and dignity.
