Hello Viva! Mario Benedetti (in full: Mario Orlando Hamlet Hardy Brenno Benedetti Farrugia) (September 14, 1920 – May 17, 2009) was an Uruguayan journalist, novelist, and poet. He was not well known in the English-speaking world, but in the Spanish-speaking world he was considered one of Latin America's most important 20th-century writers.
G the city where I live is more than 2000 meters above the sea level, so I have to get the sunscreen on but only on my face (mostly my nose). Thanks for the info!
We got apart for one year and then we decided to try again and it did not work, so after a 24yr marriage, was the time to flay away.
He is a great person, a good father, and a not to good partner because he was just to bussy. A balance is required to be able to enjoy family, friends, work, etc. and I am sure I did my share to unbalance ours
Bittersweet, that friend of you must have loooong legs for the whole text to fit on one of them! I just hope your friend has stiked to that philosophy, I do try.
PlainlyJune, Romeo and Juleta love was a perfect one, because they never got to live together
Recently I got a nice assy about cel phones and how history, literature, etc. would had been differente if cell phones were used like in Romeo and Julieta's times.
Romeo would have sent a text-messagge to Julieta saying: Hey¡ I will prentend I am death, but I will not be so do not believe anything and follow the protocol.
Then Julieta texting on the phone: all right but do not doa ny stupid thing and focus!
then Romeo and Julieta's history ending would have been a different one:
They got married and after 21 yr they divorced and later they both join a very weell know on-line dating CS
Wear sunscreen. If I could offer you only one tip for the future, sunscreen would be it. The long-term benefits of sunscreen have been proved by scientists, whereas the rest of my advice has no basis more reliable than my own meandering experience. I will dispense this advice now.
Enjoy the power and beauty of your youth. Oh, never mind. You will not understand the power and beauty of your youth until they've faded. But trust me, in 20 years, you'll look back at photos of yourself and recall in a way you can't grasp now how much possibility lay before you and how fabulous you really looked. You are not as fat as you imagine.
Don't worry about the future. Or worry, but known that worrying is as effective as trying to solve an algebra equation by chewing bubble gum. The real troubles in your life are apt to be things that never crossed your worried mind, the kind that blindside you at 4 pm on some idle Tuesday.
Do one thing every day that scares you.
Sing.
Don't be reckless with other people's hearts. Don't put up with people who are reckless with yours.
Floss.
Don't waste your time on jealousy. Sometimes you're ahead, sometimes you're behind. The race is long and, in the end, it's only with yourself.
Remember compliments you receive. Forget the insults. If you succeed in doing this, tell me how.
Keep your old love letters. Throw away your old bank statements.
Stretch.
Don't feel guilty if you don't know what you want to do with your life. The most interesting people I know didn't know at 22 what they wanted to do with their lives. Some of the most interesting 40-year-olds I know still don't.
Get plenty of calcium. Be kind to your knees. You'll miss them when they're gone.
Maybe you'll marry, maybe you won't. Maybe you'll have children, maybe you won't. Maybe you'll divorce at 40, maybe you'll dance the funky chicken on your 75th wedding anniversary. Whatever you do, don't congratulate yourself too much, or berate yourself either. You choices are half chance. So are everybody else's.
Enjoy your body. Use it every way you can. Don't be afraid of it or of what other people think of it. It's the greatest instrument you'll ever own.
Dance, even if you have nowhere to do it but your living room.
Read the directions, even if you don't follow them.
Do not read beauty magazines. They will only make you feel ugly.
Get to know your parents. You never know when they'll be gone for good.
Be nice to your siblings. They're your best link to your past and the people most likely to stick with you in the future.
Understand that friends come and go, but with a precious few you should hold on. WOrk hard to bridge the gaps in geography and lifestyle, because the older you get, the more you need the people who knew you when you were young.
Live in New York City once, but leave before it makes you hard.
Live in Northern California once, but leave before it makes you soft.
Travel.
Accept certain inalienable truths: Prices will rise. Politicians will philander. You, too, will get old. And when you do, you'll fantasize that when you were young, prices were reasonable, politicians were noble, and children respected their elders.
Respect your elders.
Don't expect anyone else to support you. Maybe you have a trust fund. Maybe you'll have a wealthy spouse. But you never know when either one might run out.
Don't mess too much with your hair or by the time you're 40 it will look 85.
Be careful whose advice you buy, but be patient with those who supply it. Advice is a form of nostalgia. Dispensing it is a way of fishing the past from the disposal, wiping it off, painting over the ugly parts, and recycling it for more than it's worth.
""I thought you guys might enjoy this and find it inspirational. It is a "graduation speech" that spread through cyberspace as a mass e-mail chain letter that was allegedly given by Kurt Vonnegut to the class of '97 at MIT. However, in actuality, it was a column written for the Chicago Tribune by columnist Mary Schmich. Vonnegut has never given a commencement speech at MIT. However, a nice "speech", Zero""
Hello Assets! A couple of crazy guys have wrote to me something out-of-place (here) but they did NOT hurt my feelings, what I do is just ignore them. Another, a Gent wrote to me and in his profile he had x age so I did thank him and explain that I would prefer to communicate with a more mature person, then he wrote me back and he said, well I am older that my profile says! just funny.
I would cover when going to their temples and I would use a Burka in order to participate on some local (brief) activities but for everyday's life I would not but I would make my clothing to be conserva as a respect for their culture, even if I do not agree with it.
I have not read all the comments so my apologies if someone already has said it.
3 Mexican girls that I know went to Turkey a couple of years ago and two of them had friends in Turkey that met in Canada and Italy because of school, so there they go for a visit.
Most Turkish boys were really gentlemen but one of them wanted the 3 girls to stay in one of their houses and to visit none of their other friends and he was so rude that it was late at night when the girls got into an argument with the bad Turkish boy, so the girls decided to leave the place, they took a Taxi and call one of the good Turkish boys so he could give instructions to the taxidriver but it was a very scary and dangerous situation.
My point is that, no doubt there are bad persons everywhere but some are so obvius.
And by the way, how many ladies would you like to have over? or because they are not for marriage, can be more than four?
Hello Mr. Riz It is beautiful that Morgan Aero 8 of yours but too big for me I like smaller vehicles like the ones at the Science museum in London and I also like Audi like the Chinese and not only because of their cost but they are pretty. "small is beautiful"
Every year around August there is race in Mexico "La Carrera Panamericana" and people from all over the world get into this with their poweful, expensive and amazing cars. Once The Mercedes GULLWING "Alas de gaviota" came here and it was just impressive, that would be my dream car!
