De los problemas no te tienes que preocupar, sino que ocupar

When I was in Belgium Lara lent me a book that I really loved: El món sobre rodes de Albert Casals. As you could guess from the title, it's in Catalan and I have no idea if it has been translated English. nausica2 and lydkami I'm sure you'd like it! ;)

It's the biography of this boy, now 18 years old, who travels the world alone since he was 15... and on a wheelchair. The way he sees the world, his spontaneity make me think that most of the time people (and myself too) complain about things that are really silly compared to the real world problems. His motto is "You should take care of your problems instead of worrying about them" and he always faces life in this manner, always trying to see the good side of things and well, if he can do that... why can't we?

On a side note: how cool is it that I can read Catalan and understand it so well? I feel proud XD
