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 resource:
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 on my way trusting
I will succeed.

Today I will resist pessimism and
conquer the world with a smile,
with the positive attitude
of 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 the stars' gaze
to invent my future.

Today I will take the time to be happy
and will leave my footprints
and my presence in the hearts of others.

Today, I invite you to begin a new season
where we can dream that everything
we undertake is possible and we fulfill it
with joy and dignity.

Smile. Have a good day and a better one tomorrow!
