30 days challenge

This time I have to do a 30 days challenge  after a lot of thinking...
 I have decided to learn a different chord everyday! 
It might sound silly or boring if you know anything about guitars, but I have no idea so the main objetive it's that at the end of the challenge I could play the first part of "Nothing else matters" by Metallica or "Brain Stew" by Green Day and show you how it went out, 
Wish me luck

An example :)

Changing perspectives...

 When an idea comes up and you believe it is a good one, you will try to do whatever it takes to prove you are right. In the past days I found out, thanks to Carlos Pardo, one of these good ideas. He is in charge of a foundation named Despacio. They promote the philosophy of  the ‘slow movement’ in Colombia which I can describe as an evolution of the Slow food movement that started twenty years ago in Italy as a response to the chains of fast food in the capital. 

Right now they want to apply this to the daily routine of each citizen by encouraging them to take things slowly to guarantee a better quality of life, and it does not mean to do things in a slow way on the contrary the goal is to achieve a more simple and focused life style to do more things and doing them well.   

Sometimes in one day there are many situations  that make people to be involved with speed but the main idea must be creating time for themselves, making an appointment with yourself and constantly questioning why you do what you do and how you're doing, this might help people taking things in a better and positive attitude.

At university especially in this one, it is really hard to stop, even for a minute because be in a hurry is one of the main characteristics here. What eventually turns into a problem in different areas like: health, because you will always be busy even for breakfast or rest well.

In this modern world that supposedly gets people who are far away closer, have a negative side because it also separates us from the ones that are beside. We have turned into "techno-dependents". It might sound silly but how many times in a day you have time to call someone you love or making a date with that old friend you haven't seen in a while because you always have an excuse (Skype, Whatsapp, Imessage or Facebook don't count).

That is what the slow movement want: taking a minute for things that are part of our vital cycle, improve personal relationships and focus more on quit creating excuses and actually do the things that have priority.

Have you ever thought that if we spend more time without our cell phone we could learn more, enjoy more and live more?

When was the last time you said I love you to the people around you?

Life is too short and no one knows what tomorrow brings or even if we are going to wake up alive to see it, so why don't we take advantage of today and enjoy our life with every single detail that is in front of us?

Let's apply this, let’s try to watch life with a different perspective with a more positive way and why not, smile! I'm sure there are a lot of reasons for it.

Cities

This time we'll start with: 
Cape Town
It is one of three recognized capital of South Africa, where there is a mixture of colors that cheer the soul in the city center, there's a beautiful place that show us that you can rebuild completely your life after a sad past; also you can see that it's a really european zone in the african continent, they're always trying to prove everyone about the different skills the population have. Nowdays the main trouble is the difficulty in the Baboon managenment because they're are attacking the citizens and tourist in urban areas. 

Then we'll have Saint Petersburg, also reconigzed in the sovietic times like Petrogrado and Leningrado, it's the second largest city of Europe. Among its greatest attractions with an historical character is the tram, which was the most used transport in the decade of the 80. Is a city full of colors, including gray and bright colors, according to the area that you are in, there is a mix of identities that are reflected in the architectural heritage. Also transmits the magic of the past with modern styles. 

 

Last but not least there's Ho Chi Minh City, the biggest city in Vietnam and one of the Southeast Asian metropolis, also this concept apply in population terms,  because at least if we focuses in movility subjects there having a lot of troubles because there are so many people and not so many options for a good movilization so they came up with the idea of Scooters, like an alternative of solution to this problem, and well it's also cheap, not everything its a problem, they have the biggest fish market in the area; what makes them one of the more significant industrial and comercial centers in the region. 

  

Sometimes pictures speak louder than words

So where are you most of the times?
