“Happy Birthday! May God give you many years ahead. I am honored to be here, especially because a lady whom I love very much, Ionela Nicolau, was a student of mine and she is an exceptional woman and a model for me. I am envious that you have her among you.” said Oana Pellea.
“I want to say a few words about the fact that kindness makes you healthier. There is an inhalation and an exhalation, one happens, we are told, at the beginning of our life, when we come to earth, and the other, we know that this exhalation will come, when we leave. Between these two breaths happens our life. Time is short, it flies, as we very well know, and it depends on each one of us what we do in this breath.
There are several studies and you certainly know that being kind makes your heart healthier, it lowers the blood pressure, it makes the brain healthier, it slows the aging process down, it saves people from depression, and many other positive effects ... Doing good. Scientifically proven.».
Last night I watched an exceptional documentary with a british professor who studies death and has written entire volumes about clinical death or people who are on the verge of leaving the earth. The hardest thing about leaving is remembering the bad things one did, the bad thoughts or the bad actions. They pull people down the most. And the hardest are the facts and the moments one didn't use to do good.
Do you know it is scientifically proven that cynical people are less happy? People who look down on other people, they are unhappy... And this can easily be seen on their face. I believe very strongly that in our life, as short as it is, we have the ability to change everything, we have the ability to learn to do good. I would like us to have an educational system where children are taught what kindness is. Do you know that kindness is practiced? Do you know that in other countries there are kindness courses? Do you know there is a muscle of goodness? The same way there is a muscle of love ... I think everything in this life is about exercise and how much we allow ourselves to mock our life, our time, our beliefs and this wonder that we are.
Today is a special day, the Ascension of the Lord. We can all rise. We can all become our best version. Everything is possible. Until we pack up and leave. And we can go lighter, more reconciled, happier, if we use this wonderful life doing good.
For a long time, since my mother died, I did not allow myself to spend a day without doing good. Do you know how good it feels? Do you know how happy I am? No matter how small the good... It can be a very small gesture. Do you know how much the world needs love on this earth? How many people are alone, how many people are scared, how many people need to be hugged, how many sick children are waiting in hospitals for us to go and tell them a story, how many people are starving on this earth?
The spiral in the Prisum Healthcare logo ... This is the most beautiful logo I have ever seen. And I think that each one of us is a spiral, each one of us can trigger a spiral of good thoughts, of kindness.
It was very difficult for me to smile at someone who did not smile back at me. Until I realized I can smile, because even though one does not smile back at me, they will smile at someone else. And that someone does not have to immediately return the answer or smile or the act of kindness. Maybe someone else can do it. And just like this, I imagine that my smile, which today receives only cynical looks, returns to me, travels the beautiful world and returns. One day someone will smile at me on the street. And it actually happens.
I wish you to take advantage of the time we have and cause this spiral of good. Don't miss any day, it would be such a pity... Happy 25 years!” concluded the actress Oana Pellea.
