O maior conquistador não é aquele que conquista grandes coisas, mas sim o que conquista as pequenas e as torna grandes!

When Ignorance Screams Intelligence Moves On
The donkey told the tiger, “The grass is blue.”
The tiger replied, “No, the grass is green .”
The discussion became heated, and the two decided to submit the issue to arbitration, so they approached the lion.
As they approached the lion on his throne, the donkey started screaming: ′′Your Highness, isn’t it true that the grass is blue?”
The lion replied: “If you believe it is true, the grass is blue.”
The donkey rushed forward and continued: ′′The tiger disagrees with me, contradicts me and annoys me. Please punish him.”
The king then declared: ′′The tiger will be punished with 3 days of silence.”
The donkey jumped with joy and went on his way, content and repeating ′′The grass is blue, the grass is blue…”
The tiger asked the lion, “Your Majesty, why have you punished me, after all, the grass is green?”
The lion replied, ′′You’ve known and seen the grass is green.”
The tiger asked, ′′So why do you punish me?”
The lion replied, “That has nothing to do with the question of whether the grass is blue or green. The punishment is because it is degrading for a brave, intelligent creature like you to waste time arguing with an ass, and on top of that, you came and bothered me with that question just to validate something you already knew was true!”
Moral Of The Story: The biggest waste of time is arguing with the fool and fanatic who doesn’t care about truth or reality, but only the victory of his beliefs and illusions.
Never waste time on discussions that make no sense. There are people who, for all the evidence presented to them, do not have the ability to understand.
Others who are blinded by ego, hatred and resentment, and the only thing that they want is to be right even if they aren’t.
When IGNORANCE SCREAMS, intelligence moves on.

PECAN, ALMOND AND COCONUT RUSKS
(Makes about 80 rusks)
6 x 250 ml (780 g) cake flour
60 ml baking powder
5 ml salt
350 ml (280 g) soft brown sugar
250 ml desiccated coconut
125 ml sunflower seeds
3 x 250 ml (500g) Woolworths carb clever coconut and vanilla granola
100 g chopped pecan nuts
100 g whole almonds
500 ml (500 g) melted butter
500 ml buttermilk
METHOD:
- Preheat the oven to 180 °C.
- Mix the flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, coconut, sunflower seeds, pecan nuts, almonds and muesli together in a large bowl.
- Mix the melted butter and buttermilk together and add to the dry ingredients.
- Mix well to make a firm dough.
- Press the dough into a well-greased large baking sheet (or two oven pans).
- Bake for about 25 minutes and then remove from the oven and cool for a few minutes – it cuts better if lukewarm
- Cut into slices and spread them in a single layer on two large baking sheets, with enough space between them for air to circulate and to dry the rusks.
- Dry out in the oven at 80 °C for about 4 hours, turning the rusks every hour.
- The rusks will last quite long if stored in an airtight container

Every one of us casts a shadow.
There hangs about us, a sort of a strange, indefinable something, which we call personal influence--that has its effect on every other life on which it falls. It goes with us wherever we go. It is not something we can have when we want to have it--and then lay aside when we will, as we lay aside a garment. It is something that always pours out from our lives . . . as light from a lamp, as heat from flame, as perfume from a flower.
The ministry of personal influence is something very wonderful. Without being conscious of it, we are always impressing others by this strange power that exudes from us. Others watch us--and their thinking and actions are modified by our influence."
"Be very careful, then, how you live--not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity." Ephesians 5:15-16
