Crisis

This weekend I went on a trip to the ''Sierra'' (more mountains again) with the church. The main theme was the crisis, the physical and the espiritual one. We talked a lot about the lost values of the today's society and the vicious circle of the avarice and the need of money. The crisis, both, aren't free. Some people get rich at the expense of others hard work. And those things are what feed the enormous difference between rich and poor people,and this last are lastly becoming more and more numerous.
We also turned the situation around and tryied to see the crisis like something good. Why? Because in these decadent moments, creativity comes out and allow us to have new, better solutions. And if we face this crisis with a good face, always triyng to see the good side and never giving up, we have it made my friends. 'Cause the best about a crisis is the teaching after getting over it and the stength we got in this difficult process.
I'm very tired, but I just wanted to get you an Albert Einstein's article, which was published in a newspaper at the time of the 29's Wall Street's Crack. I think he, with a few simple lines, explaines everything.
(I'm soooo sorry but I only found it in spanish... hope you can understand/translate it!)

No pretendamos que las cosas cambien si seguimos haciendo lo mismo. La crisis es la mejor bendición que puede sucederle a personas y países porque la crisis trae progresos. La creatividad nace de la angustia como el día nace de la noche oscura. Es en la crisis que nace la inventiva, los descubrimientos y las grandes estrategias. Quien supera la crisis se supera a sí mismo sin quedar "superado".
Quien atribuye a la crisis sus fracasos y penurias, violenta su propio talento y respeta más a los problemas que a las soluciones. La verdadera crisis es la crisis de la incompetencia.
El inconveniente de las personas y los países es la pereza para encontrar las salidas y soluciones. Sin crisis no hay desafíos, sin desafíos la vida es una rutina, una lenta agonía. Sin crisis no hay méritos.
Es en la crisis donde aflora lo mejor de cada uno, porque sin crisis todo viento es caricia.
Hablar de crisis es promoverla, y callar en la crisis es exaltar el conformismo. En vez de esto trabajemos duro.
Acabemos de una vez con la única crisis amenazadora que es la tragedia de no querer luchar por superarla.

Albert Einstein  (1879 - 1955)

Be happy and refelct(:

Switzerland.

Sooooooooooorry!

I just arrived from... Switzerland! yeah, I went on a trip with my school to ski. Don't think I'm a snob and I go every year to Switzerland! We just went this year because it's the schools 40th anniversary and it's the Swiss School!
Well, apart this, I had a GREAT time! We skied a lot, had much fun and enjoied the live in common, does anyone needs more? Now I'm full of bruises but I really don't care 'cause they're a proof of that good time(:
The worst thing about going to the mountains is you go to the mountains, and nothing more. Haha, I mean, we couldn't watch tv or listen to the radio, we didn't even had time! So I'm very disconnected, which is good in one hand, 'cause I needed it after a hardworking first school semester, but also bad in the other hand 'cause I'm out of traffic now! But I promise it won't be long, I'll work in it guys!
Well, I let you with a few pics of the marvelous trip:

 Fiesch, the town, was cute but comercial, and very smal!

           The Aletsch glacier, one of the biggest glaciers in Europe. We could saw it from the slopes(;

 Two of my photos of the slopes and the sights

 The ''Matterhorn'', Switzerlands biggest mountain. We saw it from the pistes too. It's ''Toblerone's chocolate'' image.

 ''Toblerone's chocolate'', try it if you can. It tastes great!

Be happy.-

Egypt

International conflict, international doubts.
Will Mubarak stay in the top? And if he stays, will the situation change?
Will egyptians win? And if they win... will they be able to manage a country as they want, create a new government and develope the administration right?
There are a lot of things to do, and they're very difficult to get without a good organisation.
Today I'm asking the same questions I asked with he Tunez-conflict. But honestly, I had much more hope with those ones, and they're not much better now. And if Tunez, one of the most civilized countries of noth-africa, isn't showing great changes yet, how will Egypt survive? Dear god I was terrified when I saw they're stoning each other! THIS IS NOT THE WAY! It's very easy to throw a few stones and shout a few times Mubarak has to go, but changes happen with deals and suggestions. I know this is difficult in the situation they are, but at least they could try and organise theyselfs to be more effective. What they doing now, ''todos a una'' as we say here (all to one), is counterproductive. We are homo SAPIENS, and we have to be civilizated. This began being a massive protest, now it has become a civil war. Apart from all this, I hope with all my heart that Egypt and all the countries that suffered the same, achieve their aim and be ''free''.

Well, after all this, as always, think. Think about it, make yourself an opinion and learn, this is the most important thing.

PD: mi computer's going crazy lastly, so I don't know how often I'll be able to actualize from now :S
