Since I was a kid, I always had a dream to travel the world as much as I could and to learn more about all cultures I would face on my travel, but as long I was the third son of a middle class Brazilian family, I should not feed this dream, facing all the financial problems and prejudice I would get, even from my family. I listened all the time the famous sentence, I “haven’t been borne in a gold nest!!!” Trying to tell me that I shouldn’t have so high dreams and get used to the idea that I would never be able to do what my dreams drove me to.

But unconsciously I always believed in my self and that I could do my travels and if I really believed it, I could get it. Since I made 18 years old, I got all my money from my previous job (I was working since 14 years old) and I moved to Germany to learn the German language and then try to open my paths. But after 6 months, when my Tourist Visa expired, I had to come back to Brazil, and I still didn’t get exactly what I wanted. But I keep in touch with all my friends I knew over there, and I started to make a friendship net over the Western Europe, until at the end of 2005 I get in touch with a new friend of The Netherlands that was born in Indonesia, and he decided to help me with my dream of studies.

During the time I was in Brazil, I got a lot of experience on all kind of jobs like Tour Guide, Languages Interpreter, Interior Design and Cenography, and even on the Brazilian TV, but as soon as this friend knew about my experience on Interior Design, he invited me to come with him to Bali, Indonesia, where he was building a Villa Complex, and as soon as I gave some tips about design, he made me close my job in Brazil and start to work for him as personal Interior Designer on his Villas, a job that made me travel 4 times to Bali, twice to Singapore, Thailand and lot of countries around Europe.

Part of my dream was complete, but I still had the desire to made my studies in Europe, and we started to search for International School in the Netherlands, until we found a perfect chance at a University at his city, where I just had to make an English Test and after an Economic Test.
The only problem is that I have never studied economy, because it is no usual subject at the Brazilian high school. I bought some books and started to study at home, and sometimes getting some meetings with some nice teachers of the present University, that as soon as they saw how much I wanted to study there, made their best to help me.

I got the English test in 2006 and got perfect, but the economic test was in 2007, and when I made it I was very negative and I didn’t make it. I got just 3 points, and I needed at least a 7 to pass.
I got very depressive and all my friends started to cheer me up, and finally, a couple of friends of mine from Brazil gave me the book The Secret, and gave me an overview about the book.

I decided to read and believe in the book, and since I started I got all the great good feelings and happiness it promised, just because I was truly believing and focusing all my thoughts on every happiness in my life, everything I waited so long and finally got, all the good thins surrounding me, and all the peace and love I got already and still could get from all my friends, family and partner.

3 days after I started to read the book, and make the exercises they teach in the book, I started to get a great feeling. And I just received a message from my friend telling me I got 9 on my test, and I passed the University. It’s unbelievable, the feeling to get something you search for your whole life, and even more, because as soon as I got the University, I had to turn back to Brazil to get the Visa, and then I was invited to work during my stay here (2 months until start the school) as a attachè at the Pan American Games of Rio de Janeiro at 2007, being registered, getting an amount of money I never expected, and keeping me useful during my time in Brazil.

I even received for the first time one message from my partner where he says the magical words of “I Love You” even though we are far apart from each other, but the feeling we got inside each one is so good and great that are moving us along this time, until we meet each other again.

The feeling to have now a power over my life, to get whatever I want, just believing without any doubts, it’s really great.

I have an internet site at Portuguese language, and I described there also all this experience, and I do believe that lot of people will read about my experience and will seek for this great good just literally at our hands, we just have to learn how to really believe, and then, we get what we want.
