#24.- Clapping on the street

It's 8:00 A.M. o'clock. A herd of people walks on the street, in silence, crestfallen, engrossed and routinely. All to the same direction.

The people stop walking in a crossroad at semaphore. The people's faces are off. Some of them smoke a cigarrette. The semaphore turns to green and people cross the street.

In the distance, we can hear some claps increasingly louder. Nobody does anything special, nobody reacts. A bearded guy walks smiling and clapping on the street while the "zombies" continue walking stolidly.

Walking slept  requires a lot of concentration: none smile is permited. (?)

The first thought is, why this bearded guy breaks the morning peace with his annoying claps?

... But this is not the right question. The right question is what are doing these living dead free in the street?


Thanks guy, today, some of us have returned to life!

And if you want more clapping music: http://youtu.be/eu-tRXgOrdg

#16.- Playing as a Kid

Everyone has a child inside. But often, as we age, we tend to stifle these kid.
You should not do that!
Childhood is both: the most creativeness life stage and less prejudiced. This allows children to see the world through different eyes, so far from the eyes of adults who can only see problems everywhere. Godness, innocence, aid ...These are some of the values ​​that characterize children.
The truth is that when you play as a child remembering your childhood you feel better, you forget your problems for adults and relativize the important things from non important things.
Be happy just takes time and imagination. Itsn't necessary to embrace a huge fortune. Sometimes with a cardboard box, some small stones and a song is more than enough.
Parents and schools should endeavor to protect these values ​​and combining it with knowledge.
Then, I'm sure that could solve some of the great problems of humanity such as Hunger, AIDS, and others that are not solved by business interests and speculation.

#13.- Starting a new life

I'm sure that, a lot of times, you have heard some friend saying "I'm starting a new life".
In fact this title sounds grander than really it is and people don't realize about it.
Starting a new life means change, movement, risk, adventure, valor, uncertainty, fear, the looking for the hapiness, ... and I believe, big change.
Noone can say "I'll will start a new life" if is not predisposed to introduce big changes. Small changes means dayly life.
Sometimes, one have to change for unpredictable reasons and others for scheduled and well prepared reasons. But in the two cases the people should be prepared for an eventual failure. In general, people don't like changes and most of them haven't been educated for failure. For this reason, only few people are really disposed to start a new life.
My sister Eva is starting a new life. This morning, she has traveled to Brazil to work. She doesn't know exactly how long she will be there. The time will say!
These lasts days together, she was happy and excited for this new project of life. The rest of the family, at least myself, I was happy for her and sad at the same time: I had a lump in my throat and tears to come out. I will miss the time with her in the family lunchs, events, ...
But this morning I changed my mind. I know a lot of interesting people that have done similar change, and they are very well: Valerie, Yess, Carlos, ...
I'm sure my sister will be well and will start a new life.


And maybe is time to listen the call to change. Change means be happy. And being happy oneself makes a happier world!
