Dawn and the new sun painted the waves of a calm sea golden, so begins Richard Bach’s Ferno Capelo Gaivota, which begins as life begins, because the sun, with the song of the rooster and an irritating awakening, foreshadows the end of the night, just like this book, which inspires the soul and makes us a compass so that we can look in the mirror and wonder who we really are , who we think we are.
Bach, through Fernao Capelo Gaivota, talks about this process of recognition, of encouragement in the form of a return to any investment we make, because it will be ours, worthy of teaching it, worthy of pride, nothing of a newly polished self – esteem in which you can slip. This book, already considered classic, also evokes the difficulties of breaking with the established, the strength of faith and the passion to make a personal change within a society.
- Great research arises from big questions.
- And Capelo Gaivota didn’t understand why.
- For example.
- When flying over water at altitudes below half the wingspan.
- He could fly longer with less effort.
- Ferno had a passion for flying.
- Fast and so.
- These questions prompted him to experiment.
- Observe and deduce.
Meanwhile, his mom asked him why he had as much of a hard time being as the others, as well as being like everyone else, Fernio wanted to know, know, I don’t mind being just bones and feathers, Mom. I want to know what I can do on the air and what I can’t. Nothing else. So simple, isn’t it?Be more or less than the other. Directly drink the happiness of pleasure that allows you to explore your own limits, to give you this opportunity, as we often give it to others.
It was at its biggest moment of crisis that Fernao Capelo Gaivota received his greatest inspiration. [?] There would be no more challenges or failures. And I was happy to stop thinking and flying in the dark, towards the lights of the beach. By stealing and resigning, Fernao Capelo Gaivota realized that in that darkness, alone, silently, extinguished in the echo of others, she had managed to overtake any seagull: flying in the dark.
Many of the solutions we find appear with acumen, even seems suddenly. They appear after a time of reflection in which we live with the feeling of being trapped, and when that happens, everything seems so obvious that we think that the beneficial moment was really this moment, not the previous moment, when in reality It is not We must take many wrong paths and learn from them to finally choose the right path.
After this “understand,” everything seems to fit together. He realized that by moving a single feather from the tip of his wing a fraction of an inch, this caused a wide, smooth curve at a huge speed. Did you see that when he moved more than one pen at this speed, he turned like a rifle bullet?and so Fernio was the first seagull to perform aerial acrobatics.
One woman told me a few years ago that she chose a particular position as a resident doctor not because it was the best center, but because it was the place where she thought she could contribute the most. It’s so weird that we pick that, isn’t it?We are delighted with the option with which we can get rich and not get rich as people, what we often do not know when we do not consider this variable is that the place where we can contribute more in the long term is also the option that will feed us more and better.
When he makes his discovery, he is very happy to have found answers, to have improved, but also because he imagines that he will be able to teach the other seagulls. However, Ferno’s reception is not good; changes are like an intuition, many of them require a time of resistance.
Heaven awaits those who overcome difficulties and even courageously resist the misunderstanding of others, but not the religious sky, but the sky that emerges from this look in front of the mirror, a recognition and security that give consistency between those we wanted to be and aspire to. This, regardless of success.
This exercise of honesty is the one that rewards the end of the passion shown and that is when we are prepared for a new revolution, because life, like Ferno, is dynamic. Because the whole process completes us and leaves us incomplete at the same time, and it is the ability to move in this contradiction that eliminates the feeling of emptiness that comes from the feeling of wandering aimlessly.
And in this finally memory helps us. In the words of Fernao Capelo Gaivota: “Earth had been a place where I had learned a lot, of course, but the details were no longer clear; Do you remember the fight for food and exile? The most important thing, the most important thing is that Ferno was never banished by himself, from his own heart.
