10. Slowly dies the one, who becomes a slave of habit,
repeating every day the same road,
who doesn't change the gear, who never risks changing the color of his
clothes, who doesn't speak to whom he doesn't know.
Slowly dies who doesn't turn the table upside down…..
who's unhappy at work, who doesn't risk the certainties for the unknown to
pursue a dream,
who doesn't allow himself to run away from wise suggestions, at least once in
a lifetime.
Slowly dies who destroys his self-esteem, who spends every day to complain
about either his bad luck or the never-ending rain.
Let's avoid death in small doses, keeping in mind that being alive
…always requests a much bigger effort than the simple fact of breathing ."
