"Only a life lived for others is a life worthwhile."

Amongst those of you who never saw that quote, I bet many would easily conclude that it was said/written by some famous religious person, or someone known for his/her good actions in this world.

Well, first option is as cold as the Antarctic.

As to the second, I suppose it depends a lot on the single person's POV.

That quote belongs to Albert Einstein.

Putting aside each and every possible discussion about his doings, I want to focus instead on the beauty of that sentence. It talks about something that links us all, two rather simple words that mixed together, worked out together, thought together can make a world of difference: life & others. And I want to underline how so perfectly Wiki community fits right into that, by serving those who need, asking nothing but respect in return. I am proud to be here, guys.

So, ID issues.

My name is Paula (yeah, I know, not much of an originality here… sorry), I'm a 35-year-old-mother-of-1-beautiful-bright-funny-girl, I'm Portuguese with an Italian passport, and besides the obvious (Portuguese, Italian & English), I can also write & speak in Spanish and French. I work as Executive Assistant to the CEO of a manufacturing company but I dream (and give my best) to become a novelist one day. In other words: HELP! ;)

My work and knowledge (=interests) are too varied for me to say "I'm an expert in…" (I wish!). Notwithstanding, I've got something inside of me, actually, tons of it, that I can & want to give: kindness & empathy. That's why I like "Relationships" so much.

Matters of the Heart (never mind its biological age) are usually the ones giving the best lessons, leaving the deepest signs, sometimes even undeletable scars... For as long as I can help someone to smile or at least see the light beyond, my life will be much more than worthwhile: it will be special.

Thank you for taking your time to read this. And thank you for having invited me to be here.

I wish you ALL a great & special life, too. Take care.

;)
