The Importance of Reading

Reading is something that has been done since the Humanity knows how to write. But unfortunately, not all the people in the world knows how to read. In fact, there're still a lot of countries where the majority is illitirate. This makes me feel so sad for them... But somehow I am grateful to life because I am able to read and to know the meaning.

That's something very important because thanks to books, people all around the world and through History has been able to change the future, regardless of if the result has been glorious or fatal. But it has change things. Why? Because words may change everything in matter of minutes, depending on how you use them.

Also it's culture what you learn from books. So you will be able to think for yourself without being cheated. It opens your mind which is very relevant to avoid some troubles which are happening right now. Some books may inspire you and guide through a stage of your life, or your whole life.

So, read a lot! And be always open minded. Don't judge before trying to love very hard. And remember that the world is very huge and there can be a lot of ways of seeing the same thing, so don't be bossy and violento just because someone doesn't agree with you. Be patient and never lose hope.

Having a Healthy Life

Hello again!

This post is very important for you (or that's what I think) because I am going to talk about things you should do or start doing if you haven't done yet. Many of you may think that this is going to be useless, but believe me: it's not.

I am going to talk about some tips which are related to a healthy life. So here are some tips:

1. Drink a lot of water. This helps you to maintain the balance of body fluids, which means that your digestion, your circulation, transportation of nutrients, skin, hair and whole body improves. Be aware that we are 60% of water...

2. Eat natural food + fruits and vegetables. Altough you don't do well on eating fruits or green food (I understand you, because for me it's still very hard to follow this tip), think that afterwards your body will be grateful by showing you a better skin look, a stronger and healthier hair, a better sight or whatever. Of course it's not compulsory to give up with meat, because it gives you a lot of proteins and things that vegetables may not give you. So don't forget to have a balanced diet. Even sometimes you can give to your body some sweet things like chocolate, sweets or things with a lot of fats and calories. Having a little amount per month it's not a bad thing. So enjoy your meal!

3. Do sport/exercise/move your body. I think everyone regardless of age, weight, type of body or whatever should do exercise. Even if it's just walking 30 minutes daily, or running through the park of your city etc. But do exercise, because if not your body will get used to sedentarism and that's very bad for your whole metabolism. And afterwards it can carry a lot of diseases and problem healths which you may regret. So move your ass and start doing your daily exercise today, not tomorrow or next week, tomorrow.

4. Have a healthy mind. Not everything related with "healthy life" involves physical stuff, but also mental things. It's very important to maintain a positive, good and happy mind. Sometimes I believe that it's even more relevant than having a good body or eating a diet with a lot of vegetables. If your mind it's unhealthy or doesn't have the motivation which needs for keep going on then the effort that you may do with other things is useless. I'm saying this because many people nowadays do what it's supposed to be done in life, or says what the majority thinks, or shows the things that are trendy at the momento and in truth that person doesn't enjoy those things. So what I want to clear up is that, you, dear reader, you are the only master of your life and the responsable of your happiness. Don't waste your life following stereotypes that you don't like or ways of life that you don't agree with. Follow your dreams, achieve them, listen to your heart, wear clothes that make you happy and comfortable with, experience new things, learn, love the life your are having and be always grateful.

Lament of Culloden

 The lovely lass o’ Inverness,

Nae joy nor pleasure can she see;

For e’en and morn she cries, ‘Alas!’

And aye the saut tear blin’s her e’e:

‘Drumossie moor, Drumossie day,

A waefu’ day it was to me!

For there I lost my father dear,

My father dear and brethren three.

‘Their winding-sheet the bluidy clay,

Their graves are growing green to see;

And by them lies the dearest lad

That ever blest a woman’s e’e!

Now wae to thee, thou cruel lord,

A bluidy man I trow thou be;

For monie a heart thou hast made sair,

That ne’er did wrang to thine or thee.’

by Robert Burns.
