I am the happiest man I have ever met

Quem o diz  é Arthur Rubinstein, que diz também: I wanted to commit suicide at the ripe age of 20 because I arrived at a sort of zero hour. There was nothing for me. The string I tried to hang myself broke and I fell on the floor and I was unhappy, I played a little piano and then I was very hungry. When I walked into the street I was born again in a way (...) This coming back was a very strange one because I finally realized quite clearly what a fool I was before. Life is what it gives you, what is in front of you.
