What is water?

What it seems to be a video about fishes ends up being a kind of motivational speech about life and a moment that we are going to live in just a few years: "The real life", the world outside, what happens before school.

Work, routine, frustation, stress, hungriness all this concepts that come with waking up early, working all day, eating just if you have a few time, drinking coffe to resist the pressure, these are some of the caracteristics of being an adult in a capitalist society.

But the point is that no matter how terrible and boring is your situation, you always have a choice. You can chose a miserable life, because is easy and automathical, is our "natural default setting" ,or you can chose being happy, because you are not the only person in the world, everybody has problems, and even though this way needs more effort you'll life will be much better.

Deciding what has a real meaning and what doesn't is the real freedom. The attitude is the key, live before death.

This is water.

Union is strength

This video shows with examples of animals, how working in group is better tan working alone. When you support and you are supported by your team there are more chances that you success in whatever you do, and if you don't, at least you have partners of the same pain.
In the videos I saw that there was a leader of each group, and he works for and with the team, is not only their boss, is the one who looks for the needings of everyone  and tries to take the team to the best way. In a good team, everybody works, without exceptions, for a common purpose.
In an individualist world, the teams give best and more complete results,

The man in the queu

The video tells the story of a girl who wants to buy a birthday cake for her grandfather, but she and her grandma dont have the money to buy it. Unexpectedly, an unknown man pays the cake for them, and tells them the story of when he was a child, and an unknown man paid his birthday cake because he hadn't the money to buy it. At the end, the children with the grandma go home, and the grandfather discovers that the boy he helped a lot of years ago, now helped his granddaughter to buy his own birthday cake.
What goes around comes back around, I know it sounds like the song of Alicia Keys, but is true. When you act without interest, and from the bottom of your heart, the life will pay you back in infinite ways, and you dont know, maybe the same person will have the opportunity to give you the favor back.
A great video!

Day of the dead

Every 1 and 2 of november, in Mexico is celebrated the Day of the Dead, it may sounds bizarre or terrorific, but is too far of being a scary tradition. This days we remember our death family and friends, and we put "ofrendas" with the traditional cut paper, and candles, water, "hojaldras", and flowers like the cempasuchitl or "flor de muerto". We also colocate some food that the person we are honorating liked. Is a bittersweet celebration because you may be sad, and missing your relatives but is a way to connect with them even when they are not physically here, there is the believe that they come this days to visit us. People also pay their respects and place fresh flowers and offerings at the cemetery for relatives during the traditional "Day of the Dead".
