THINK LIKE AN ADULT, LIVE LIKE A YOUNG PERSON, ADVISE LIKE AN ELDER AND NEVER STOP DREAMING LIKE A CHILD.

SUCCESS IN LIFE IS NOT IN ALWAYS WINNING, BUT IN NEVER GIVING UP.

SOMETIMES THINGS COME WHEN YOU STOP LOOKING. WHAT IS FOR YOU, NO ONE CAN TAKE AWAY FROM YOU.

THINK THREE TIMES AS MUCH, DO TWICE AS MUCH AND TALK HALF AS MUCH.

I LIKE IT WHEN YOU SMILE, BUT I LOVE IT WHEN I'M THE REASON.

LITTLE BY LITTLE A LITTLE BIT BECOMES A LOT.

IS NOT ONLY TO LIVE, IT IS TO FEEL ALIVE.

BE YOURSELF, ALL OTHER POSITIONS ARE FILLED.

CONFORMITY IS THE JAILER OF FREEDOM AND THE ENEMY OF GROWTH.

THE HEAVIEST TEAR IS THE ONE THAT DOES NOT FALL.

LOVE AND HAPPINESS ARE NOT PUBLISHED, THEY ARE LIVED.

BE ONE OF THOSE RARE PEOPLE WHO DON'T KNOW HOW TO GIVE UP.

NO ONE IS LIKE YOU AND THAT IS YOUR POWER.

WHO HAS MAGIC... DOESN'T NEED TRICKS.

THE DISTANCE BETWEEN DREAMS AND REALITY IS CALLED DISCIPLINE.

COMFORT KILLS PROGRESS.

IT TAKES SADNESS TO KNOW HAPPINESS, NOISE TO APPRECIATE SILENCE, AND ABSENCE TO VALUE PRESENCE.

DEDICATE YOURSELF TO FEELING GOOD ABOUT YOURSELF, THAT'S WHO YOU WILL SPEND THE REST OF YOUR LIFE WITH.

THE BEST MAKEUP IS A SMILE, THE BEST JEWELRY IS HUMILITY, THE BEST CLOTHES ARE ATTITUDE AND THE BEST MEDICINE IS LOVE.

ESCAPE FROM THE ORDINARY.

GIVE EVERY DAY THE OPPORTUNITY TO BECOME THE BEST DAY OF YOUR LIFE.

RACES ARE NOT ALWAYS WON BY THE FASTEST, BUT BY THOSE WHO DON'T STOP RUNNING.

UNDERSTANDING IS IMPORTANT, BUT FEELING IS MAGICAL.

WHAT YOU DENY SUBDUES YOU, WHAT YOU ACCEPT TRANSFORMS YOU.

LIFE IS SHORT: KISS SLOWLY, LAUGH LOUDLY, LOVE INTENSELY AND FORGIVE QUICKLY.

DO IT. THEY WILL CRITICIZE YOU ANYWAY.

YOUR BELIEFS DON'T MAKE YOU A BETTER PERSON, YOUR ACTIONS DO.

DON'T TALK, SHOW.

IT IS NEVER TOO LATE TO EMBARK ON A NEW COURSE, LIVE A NEW STORY OR BUILD A NEW DREAM.

IT IS EASY TO BE HAPPY, WHAT IS DIFFICULT IS TO BE SIMPLE.

GOOD THINGS HAPPEN TO THOSE WHO WAIT FOR THEM: THE BEST THINGS HAPPEN TO THOSE WHO GO FOR THEM.

INTELLIGENCE IS THE ABILITY TO ADAPT TO CHANGE.

WHAT TODAY SEEMS CRAZY, TOMORROW WILL BE ONE OF YOUR BEST MEMORIES.

LOVING ONESELF IS THE BEGINNING OF AN ETERNAL LOVE STORY.

GOOD IS NEVER EASY. EASY IS NEVER GOOD.

IT'S NOT ABOUT LIVING, IT'S ABOUT FEELING ALIVE.

I ALSO BELIEVE IN LOVE AT FIRST LAUGH.

YOU BECOME THE PEOPLE YOU SPEND THE MOST TIME WITH. CHOOSE THEM WISELY.

OPPORTUNITIES MULTIPLY AS THEY ARE TAKEN.

STOP? NEVER MOVE FORWARD? ALWAYS GIVE UP? NEVER

YOUR LIFE IS NOW.

WHEN THERE IS DESIRE, EVERYTHING IS POSSIBLE. A TODAY IS WORTH 2 TOMORROWS.

HE WHO WANTS TO EXCEL, DOES NOT SEE OBSTACLES, HE SEES DREAMS.

BELIEVING THAT EVERYTHING HAS A SOLUTION IS NOT OPTIMISM, IT IS TALENT.

WORK HARD IN SILENCE AND LET YOUR SUCCESS MAKE ALL THE NOISE.

DON'T PROCRASTINATE.

MISTAKES ARE FOR LEARNING, NOT FOR REPEATING.

GOOD PREPARATION SOONER OR LATER MEETS WITH THE OPPORTUNITY TO TURN INTO SUCCESS.

YOU CREATE YOUR OWN OPPORTUNITIES.

THE ONLY WAY TO DO A GREAT JOB IS TO LOVE WHAT YOU DO.

YOU ARE NOT WHAT YOU HAVE, YOU ARE WHAT YOU GIVE.

PERFECT DAY: GOING TO BED WITH A DREAM AND WAKING UP WITH A PURPOSE.

THE ONLY PLACE WHERE "SUCCESS" COMES BEFORE "WORK" IS IN THE DICTIONARY.

YOUR BEST TEACHER IS YOUR LAST MISTAKE.

THERE ARE TWO WAYS TO FACE LIFE: ONE IS PRIDE, BELIEVING THAT YOU KNOW EVERYTHING; THE OTHERIS HUMILITY, RECOGNIZING THAT YOU HAVE MUCH TO LEARN.

I HAVE MY SMILE READY FOR WHEN I SEE YOU.

NEVER STOP, NEVER SETTLE, UNTIL THE GOOD IS BETTER AND THE BEST IS EXCELLENT.

THE PESSIMIST SEES THE GLASS AS HALF EMPTY, THE OPTIMIST SEES THE GLASS AS HALF FULL AND THE ENTREPRENEUR GOES IN SEARCH OF MORE WATER.

HAVING A PURPOSE AWAKENS THE SENSES.

LOSERS QUIT WHEN THEY FAIL, WINNERS FAIL UNTIL THEY WIN.

A SATISFIED CUSTOMER IS THE BEST BUSINESS STRATEGY.

MATURING IS TAKING CARE OF WHAT YOU SAY, RESPECTING WHAT YOU LISTEN TO AND MEDITATING ON WHAT YOU DO NOT SAY.

BE HAPPY, SO MUCH SO THAT YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW WHY.

STAY WITH THE ONE WHO TURNS YOUR FEARS INTO CHALLENGES.

CHANGE IS FOR THE BRAVE. COWARDS PREFER TO STAY WHERE THEY ARE, EVEN IF THEY ARE NOT HAPPY.

ASK YOURSELF IF WHAT YOU ARE DOING TODAY IS GETTING YOU CLOSER TO WHERE YOU WANT TO BE TOMORROW.

THE REWARD OF OUR WORK IS NOT WHAT WE GET, BUT WHAT WE BECOME.

IT IS BETTER TO BE HURT BY A TRUTH THAN COMFORTED BY A LIE.

IN DARK TIMES, GOOD PEOPLE SHINE.

LIFE IS SUCH A GOOD TEACHER THAT IF YOU DON'T LEARN THE LESSON... IT REPEATS IT BACK TO YOU.

CREATIVE IS NOT THE ONE WHO IMAGINES, BUT THE ONE WHO MAKES IMAGINE.

THE BEST ADVERTISING IS THE ONE MADE BY SATISFIED CUSTOMERS.

WIPE THE SLATE CLEAN AND SMILE AGAIN, THAT'S WHAT IT'S ALL ABOUT.

MOTIVATION: IS WHAT GETS YOU STARTED. HABIT: IS WHAT KEEPS YOU GOING.

IF YOU DON'T GO FOR EVERYTHING , WHAT DO YOU GO FOR?

IT'S NOT JUST ABOUT SHINING, IT'S ABOUT HELPING OTHERS SHINE WITH YOU.

DON'T ASK PERMISSION: THE WINGS ARE YOURS AND THE SKY BELONGS TO NO ONE.

THE PESSIMIST COMPLAINS ABOUT THE WIND; THE OPTIMIST HOPES IT WILL CHANGE, THE REALIST ADJUSTS THE SAILS.

THERE IS NO BETTER MEDICINE THAN TO THINK HAPPY THOUGHTS.

DO NOT SERVE SO THAT YOUR PRESENCE IS NOTICED, BUT SO THAT YOUR ABSENCE IS FELT.

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN WHO YOU ARE AND WHO YOU WANT TO BE IS WHAT YOU DO.

DREAMS ARE THE GOAL, IMAGINATION THE TRANSPORT, REALITY THE STARTING POINT.

IT IS NOT THE ONE WHO GOES FASTER WHO GETS THERE FIRST, BUT THE ONE WHO KNOWS WHERE HE IS GOING.

LIFE IS NOT ABOUT WAITING FOR THE STORM TO PASS, BUT LEARNING TO DANCE IN THE RAIN.

ASK WHAT YOU DON'T KNOW AND YOU'LL LOOK LIKE A FOOL FOR A FEW MINUTES. DON'T ASK AND YOU'LL BE A FOOL YOUR WHOLE LIFE.

WHEN EVERYTHING SEEMS TO BE GOING AGAINST YOU, REMEMBER THAT THE PLANE TAKES OFF AGAINST THE WIND, NOT WITH IT.

THERE IS NO LACK OF TIME, THERE IS A LACK OF INTEREST, BECAUSE WHEN YOU WANT TO, THE EARLY MORNING BECOMES THE DAY, TUESDAY BECOMES A SATURDAY AND A MOMENT BECOMES AN OPPORTUNITY.

YOU MUST NOT SET LIMITS ON ANYTHING. THE MORE YOU DREAM, THE FURTHER YOU GO.

THE WORLD CHANGES BY YOUR EXAMPLE, NOT BY YOUR OPINION.

HE IS NOT STRONG WHO DOES NOT NEED HELP, BUT HE WHO HAS THE COURAGE TO ASK FOR IT WHEN HE NEEDS IT.

MORE SUBSTANCE, LESS APPEARANCE.

DON'T BE TOLD THAT THE SKY IS THE LIMIT WHEN THERE ARE FOOTPRINTS ON THE MOON.

NEVER FORGET WHY YOU STARTED.

YIELDING IS NOT A SIGN OF WEAKNESS, IT IS A SIGN OF GREATNESS.

IT IS BETTER TO HAVE SCARS FOR BRAVERY THAN INTACT SKIN FOR COWARDICE.

SMALL MOMENTS, GREAT MEMORIES.

IF IT DOESN'T ADD UP, DON'T SUBTRACT.

HE WHO WANTS TO DO SOMETHING WILL GET A MEANS, HE WHO DOESN'T WILL GET AN EXCUSE.

HAPPINESS IS ACHIEVED WHEN WHAT ONE THINKS, WHAT ONE SAYS AND WHAT ONE DOES ARE IN HARMONY.

YOU WILL BE ABLE TO ACHIEVE ANYTHING IF YOUR ENTHUSIASM HAS NO LIMITS.

How much does a notary service in Barcelona cost?

The cost of a notary service in Barcelona, as in the rest of Spain, can vary depending on the type of procedure you need to perform. Notaries in Spain have rates regulated by the State, which means that the prices for certain services are fixed and must be respected by all notaries. However, the final cost may vary depending on the complexity of the document or the number of parties involved. In our article "Did you know that.... all notaries must charge the same?" we explain everything in detail.

Can I receive legal advice at a notary's office in Barcelona?

What are the differences between a notary and a lawyer in Barcelona?

In Barcelona, as in the rest of Spain, the professions of notary and lawyer have different roles and responsibilities, although both work in the legal field. Here I explain the main differences:

  1. Function and objectives:
    • Notary: The main function of a notary is to confer public faith to the documents and acts that are formalized before him, ensuring their legality, authenticity and legal certainty. Notaries act as an impartial intermediary between the parties to ensure that all legal requirements are met and that agreements are properly documented.
    • Lawyer: Lawyers represent and defend the interests of their clients in various legal matters, both in and out of court. Their role is to provide legal advice to their clients, prepare the defense and representation in litigation, and guide in legal proceedings and decisions.
  2. Impartiality:
    • Notary: Must maintain a neutral position, ensuring that all parties understand the content and legal consequences of the documents and acts they sign.
    • Lawyer: He is committed to defend his client's interests, acting in a partial manner in favor of his client.
  3. Legal documents:
    • Notary: Has the exclusive authority to create public documents (such as deeds of sale, wills and powers of attorney) that have a high degree of reliability and are directly enforceable.
    • Lawyer: Prepares writings and private documents, such as contracts, lawsuits and other legal documents that may need to be validated or notarized in order to have certain legal formalities.
  4. Requirements to practice:
    • Notary: To become a notary in Spain, it is necessary to pass a rigorous national examination and be appointed by the Ministry of Justice. Notaries are civil servants.
    • Lawyer: Lawyers must obtain a law degree, pass the bar exam and be admitted to the corresponding bar association.
  5. Scope of work:
    • Notary: His work is more focused on the prevention of litigation, ensuring that acts and contracts are clear and within the law.
    • Attorney: May be involved in a wide range of legal situations, including litigation, legal advice, negotiations and mediations between conflicting parties.

These differences underscore the importance of each profession within the legal system and how they complement the legal spectrum by serving society's various legal needs. You can find more information about the requirements to become a notary in our article "Did you know that... to become a notary it is necessary to have a law degree and then study a tough opposition?"

Can I freely choose any notary's office in Barcelona?

Yes, you can freely choose any notary's office in Barcelona to carry out your legal and notarial procedures. In Spain, notaries are liberal professionals and citizens have the right to choose the notary's office they prefer, although you must keep in mind that they are assigned to a locality and have a territorial limit. You can select a notary based on criteria such as proximity, recommendations, specialization in certain services, or even the speed and efficiency of the service offered. This flexibility is part of the guarantee of access to quality notary services tailored to your specific needs. You can find more information in our article on whether you can choose the notary you want.
