I went to Texas last week and I saw many electric cars on the street. Most of them, of course, were Tesla cars but I saw no BYD cars because they are forbidden there. But we all know that the price, tecnology and quality of BYD cars cast a shadow over Tesla.

When I used to play soccer, I had a friend who made our team would lose every time he started playing with the team. It almost felt like he cast a shadow over the team. So, in important matches, he would only come in the second half.

Everyone knows that my favorite team is Flamengo. One of the players in the current squad I admire is Bruno Henrique. In addition to being talented, he is a guy who had a difficult childhood and worked hard in his life to succeed.

However a scandal has emerged regarding betting favoritism that could cast a shadow over his career. I hope it is not true and everything ends well for him.

One day, I had a new project, and I was very excited to put that into pratice. This idea was making cakes. I told my sister about my idea and she simply cast a shadow over that saying, 'But you don't even know how to cook." I got sad with that, and I asked her, "Why are you casting a shadow over my new project? Obviously I need to learn how to do that. But the reason why I came to you is for your support." In the end, my sister apologized and hugged me.

We all know that it was after he met a girl called Hana. He fell in love with her and that was his doom. But I cannot blame him, she is very beautiful.

The Korean War divided the peninsula, separating families and shaping two very different Koreas. The trauma and tension from the conflict continue to influence politics and daily life.

In Brazil, we have faced many political difficulties in recent decades. We have had left-wing and right-wing governments, but both have failed to escape the current political reality and have remained hostage to the same political schemes. They are always the same actions, with different actors, always aiming for individual profit and plunging the population even deeper into ignorance. While some, endowed with knowledge, fight for political ideology, others fight for their livelihood. Even if a new ruler manages to do things differently, previous governments and their politics will always cast a shadow over the new one.

I was invited to a wedding a few months ago and had the perfect dress in mind. It was simple and elegant, but honestly, I was worried if it was a little too white. The moment I tried it on, I loved how it looked, but I couldn’t help but wonder if it was too bridal. I didn’t want to cast a shadow over the bride or draw unwanted attention. So, I called my friends Mari and Duda to help me out.

When they came over, I showed them the dress. Mari immediately said it looked a bit too bridal, and Duda joked that I might accidentally steal the spotlight. That started a discussion about wedding rules, specifically, whether we’d let someone wear white at our own weddings.

Mari was completely against it. “It’s my day, no one else gets to wear white. Period.”, she said. Duda was more chill about it, saying she wouldn’t mind as long as it didn’t look like a wedding gown. I found myself somewhere in between. I told them I’d probably be okay with it, as long as the person wearing white didn’t cast a shadow over me or make it feel like it was their moment.

In the end, I decided to go with a champagne-colored dress instead. It was still beautiful, and more appropriate. The bride got to shine, and I didn’t have to worry about casting a shadow over her.

Change often brings hidden surprises. I vividly recall my last job change. After a long search, I landed a new position and was thrilled. The sleek office promises of growth, and a hefty signing bonus felt like a dream come true. However, within weeks, deception cast a shadow over my excitement.

Whispers in the break room hinted at unpaid overtime and unrealistic targets. I brushed it off as typical workplace gripes. Then came the first red flag: my contract promised flexible hours, but my manager demanded late nights, claiming it was “just how things work here.” The final blow was discovering the “guaranteed” bonus was tied to impossible sales quotas.

Feeling trapped and with my trust eroded, I started quietly job-hunting, determined to find a place where promises weren’t just shadows, masking the truth.

My neighbor Alan is a great architect, but he can't get a promotion at his job. He's been at the company for over 5 years and he doesn't feel valued.

Last week, we were talking here in the lobby and he told me, "I'm thinking of quitting and accepting a job offer. There, I'll have more freedom to do my job and I won't have to deal with my boss constantly micromanaging my projects"

I told him to think carefully and follow his heart, and not let anyone cast a shadow over his carrer.
