Jobs...



America is known as the land of all the opportunities and possibilities.
The reason for this is because it offers equal opportunity to people, values people that know what they really want. In other words, you can achieve your goal in life if you work hard enough for it and believe in yourself. Lately America`s view changed a lot because of the economic status of this country and the world in general. There have been a lot of people that have lost their jobs recently. All our jobs are at stake for the moment. The American dream turned out in trip to casino where you never know if you are going to win or to lose. None of us can predict for how much longer we are going to have our jobs. It is out of our control most of the times because we might be really good at what we are doing but the company is not making profit so it might be closing. As determined as we are to keep or jobs, there are other things that get into the equation that aren`t up to us. A great number of companies that find themselves in difficulty consider laying people off as the best solution. We also have to be aware that the economic harmony in every country is given by a certain balance between consumers and sellers, producers and service providers. Once that balance is broken (i.e. a lot of people losing their jobs) it is going to be hard to establish balance again. It all works as a vicious cycle. People losing their jobs are not going to spent money because they either don`t have them or they are trying to use wisely what they have saved. People not spending money had a direct impact on service providers, producers and sellers. Having less revenue to work with, the last category is going to have to cut some of their employees because they don`t really need all of them. The only way to get to stability in our life again would be to break this vicious cycle. Probably the best way we can keep our jobs for right now is to have a responsible and serious attitude about our jobs and accept the fact that we might lose our jobs for reasons that have nothing to do with us.
It is all a matter of luck in the end.

Snowboarding....


If I have something that I like snowboarding is one of those few things. I've learned how to ski about 15 years ago and since than I am trying to spend at least 10 days every year somewhere on the mountain.
Recently I discover how to use a snowboard. It is fun. I would say it is something else than using a pair of ski and that is because you have both legs tight up against a single piece of wood which makes the movements a little bit more difficult for your body. Trying to stop the bord from sliding it's another thing that you have to get used to it. But before starting to use a snowboard you have to make sure you cover your but with something soft in order to stay away from contusions....which hurts by the way. I used the board about three hours and after that I put the skies on and I was trying to enjoy the rest of the day.
What else should I say ? I really like it and I encourage everyone to try even if it's going to be just for one time. It is a lot of fun. :))

Boats...


I always wanted to have a boat.
Many people have a dream of owning boat as a part of enjoyment. Buying a boat and then spending hours together sailing on the beaches is simply superb. In this case most people would prefer going for a brand new boat. But, how about the cost of a new boat? Can every body afford to buy one? A new boat would probably cost more than a new car and may not be a rational decision for all. An excess installment payment for stated years can disturb your wallet and mind drastically. As a result, buying used boat can be economical along with fulfilling your lifetime dream. These days more and more yachtsmen are finding great deal for used boat, specifically older ones. One of the chief advantages of buying used boat is that you see tremendous difference in cost when compared to the new ones.
In conclusion I will definitely buy a used boat and that's going to happen very soon because this is the most profitable season for buying summer accessories.
Everyone is invited for a ride. :))

Deceptions

Here is a little story with a boy shocked about changes found in another part of the world.
I've studied geography and zoology during primary school,than more in the high school were I have learned about animal habitats. Kangaroo lives in Australia , Penguins lives in Antarctica, Bears, Deers , Rabbits, Foxes and Wolves lives in deep forest all over the world. There are some species that lives close to water like rats crocodiles and so on.
I came in USA were I found Deer’s walking the same roads I walk, squirrels jumping in front of my window , rabbits running along the shore line and skunks looking for food in the garbage cans.
I do understand that some parts of the world are different than others but this is to much for me to accept it . I wonder isn’t this because of supra population of this area ? Isn’t this because all this species has nowhere to go anymore?
It is sad to see so many beautiful species going for what we used to call “wild” to something that really appear to be “domesticated” . Hopefully we are aware of this and we will try to do something in the near future to protect what we really have priceless.
