In this new year, it is good to take a short break and think about what is really important for you. This life is so short, so precious that you must learn to use each of these moments and try to enjoy it with pleasure and satisfaction.
Not easy to apply a philosophy of life as "zen" as this one, in such a social environment we're living in. Whatever country you are, life is demanding and you must learn to take responsibility no matter what.
Therefore you must learn to truly think constructively, you must learn to focus your positive feelings that your behavior is instinctively oriented toward objectives that provide solutions and concrete actions.
The precious moments that life give us should not be used to denigrate others and break sugar on the backs of others without ever participate in solving the problem. The practical interventions you do in our lives, have a direct impact on your sense of accomplishment and satisfaction that you have of yourselves.
You must choose what you do with your time, take the time to live your life to appreciate this short life which is so precious and so special. Sometimes choices are difficult, if not limited, but most cases you still have choices that can bring you much joy and satisfaction. Just take the time to do things and to do it for good reasons.
The year ahead will undoubtedly be high in change and surprise in all areas of life in our society. Countless events arise during the year and some of these events will have a direct impact on your lives. The world of today is very inter-connected from one end to another of the planet. You can not remain insensitive to other nations. This is why life requires calm, demeanor and positive thinking to make more informed decisions that will allow you to better enjoy life while acting in accordance with respect for others and our planet .
What is your approach to enjoy the best of this beautiful life?

The new tools of communication and its critics
The rapid development of communication tools makes it easier now to get in touch with an incredible number of people across the world to communicate quickly, easily and efficiently. However, again, some people believe that these new ways of communicating are transient, they diminish our expertise in using the language and they threaten our privacy.
A little reminder, in the mid-1900s, when the ancestor of Twitter, the telegraph emerged, many people believed that few people had enough things to communicate quickly to use this medium. Three decades later, inventor of the telegraph, Samuel Morse saw no need to buy the patent for the invention call telephone. Mr. Morse and the Western Union considered that there was little point in using a communication tool that could not keep written evidence! Who would dare make verbal agreements with no proof of conversation contents !
In 1930 in the New York Times editorial, it was clear to them that using a typewriter endangered art of handwriting, which could allow thieves to take advantage of the edotors copyright ! Is this an argument for anti-bloggers?
With all these communicate access, exchange information in all its forms, it is difficult to predict what will be the impact on our society, but we can say without any doubt that if the past is any indication of the future, the future world of communications will be very constructive and beneficial to the entire planet.

The ethic code of our elected
With all situations and disturbing information we receive from media, it's really disturbing to live in a society run by people having a questionable ethics code.
What prompts these people to do that? Note that the sinews of war in politics is money. To have a good chance of getting elected, it takes a lot of money and thousands of volunteers. The recipe is simple, if you managed to bring you supporters to vote, the better are your chance to win. To achieve this feat it is necessary to have tons of volunteers and lots of money to spoil these volunteers and a lot of money to attract people who work in agencies and influence their members.
So to win it takes money, something that political parties don't have in most cases. I'm not saying that winning elections is the only reason the ethics code for elected officials is doubtful, but it begins in this way. Once you start playing that kind of game, it's difficult to leave without negative consequences.
Moreover, if you analyze the number of hours worked by those elected versus what they receive as compensation, it is certain that our elected officials will not get rich with these salaries more than average. If we were calculating the hourly rate depending on the hours they devote to their work, it would be among the poor of this society.
So, as a representative of the society, with major decision-making powers, it is easy for most of these people to feel important, which means the fact of being treated as such. This is not the case since our elected officials are criticized every day and that their behavior is scrutinized as if they were bandits. End result, good numbers of these elected officials are tempted to accept to be spoiled by entrepreneurs who effectively apply the proverb "the end justifies the means".
I do not want to go further analysis of this situation, I just wanted to give you some thinking on the situation experienced by our elected and the risk engendered by lack of funding of political parties and to sub pay those elected.
Depending on your point of view it would be interesting to have multiple views of the community, who knows, from these comments, perhaps we could make suggestions to our elected officials. The floor is yours.

Why help the poor ?
The difficulty with this type of support often comes from the fact we wonders if the money we send goes to its destination and it's used for good purposes. Also arises the question whether the poor are not abusers of society.
Are they really abusers? Sure, but let's be serious, the majority of helpless people really need help and they do not wish to remain there all their lives often these people are facing a temporary situation or in many cases the disease is the cause that keeps them in this situation.
Not easy to break this kind of position when it's a result of mental illness or chronic illness that prevents them from finding employment or becoming an entrepreneur. The majority of these people are grappling with this problem, for others they generally are people convinced they can challenge the system! For what purpose, I cannot answer you, this way of thinking blow me out.
Now, when making donations, does that money really can be found in the hands of good people and is the money properly used. A very difficult question to answer. To get the correct answer must be that you must do a research yourself with the institution you want to give. I agree that this approach is demanding, but if you're really serious, it's worth it to do this exercise before sending the hard earned money.
What to do for our friends in the street, those who ask for money everywhere and in many cases not even thirty years? Decide for yourself, but when you watch these people, try to think of this: you really think these people are happy to be in a similar situation? What happened to their childhood dreams of becoming an astronaut, doctor or firefighter? Just ask the question makes us realize that these people have certainly experienced very negative things to go downhill in the street that way. Do not judge, you must try to understand and imagine a real solution to help them do it.
