Most of what you learned about success is wrong — because it was never for you.

Keep your head down, follow the instructions, show up on time, work hard, don’t rock the boat, and you will be rewarded.

If this is your definition of success, this publication is not for you. 

There is no map to success. What the world needs is that you be courageous and step into your journey. We need you as you are, and you’re not there yet. But when you start on your journey, you’ll see that the world will reward you for that.

Writer, poet, philosopher, father, husband, executive. I left Brazil in 2019 and have lived in New Zealand, Austria, and now Spain. I believe work is more than a job, it's how you become who you are. And I believe poetry can change the world.
