"Un pesimist va vedea mereu partea goală a paharului, un optimist va vedea mereu partea plină a paharului, iar un realist mereu va şti că stând în preajma paharului va trebui cândva să-l spele."

"In viata nu e important sa ai carti bune, ci sa le joci bine pe cele pe care le ai."
Josh Billings

"Când "aş vrea" devine "vreau", când "ar trebui" devine "trebuie", când "mai întâi" şi "mai apoi" devin "acum", atunci şi doar atunci dorinţele încep să se transforme în realitate."
Roberto Redfort

“Before you speak, listen.
Before you write, think.
Before you spend, earn.
Before you invest, investigate.
Before you criticize, wait.
Before you pray, forgive.
Before you quit, try.
Before you retire, save.
Before you die, give.”
– William A. Ward {American Anthropologist}

"La batranete piere interesul fata de viitor si trecut, se distrug memoria si imaginatia, dar ramane si creste viata in prezent, constiinta acestei vieti adevarate."

"Am inteles azi mai limpede ca inainte ca totul creste, pleaca si trece. E de mirare ca oamenii nu pot pricepe asta, isi transforma toate dorintele in viitor, fara sa le treaca prin minte ca viitorul nu sta-n loc, ca va trece la fel ca trecutul."

100 de locuri de vizitat inainte sa dispara

Conferinta pentru clima de la Copenhaga va fi insotita de o expozitie care prezinta cele mai spectaculoase 100 de locuri ale planetei care vor disparea in lipsa unor actiuni concrete impotriva schimbarilor climatice, informeaza cop15.dk.

Ideea apartine organizatiei CoplusLife, care a deschis in Danemarca si expozitiile "Earth from Above" si "Spirit of the Wild". Expozitia "100 Places to Remember Before they Disappear" a fost inaugurata in Copenhaga pe 26 septembrie de Printul Frederik al Danemarcei. Ea este organizata in exterior si este deschisa non-stop pana pe 27 decembrie.

Printre obiectivele incluse in expozitie se numara insulele Maldive, delta Nilului, Venetia, lacul Balaton din Ungaria si orasul Caracas din Venezuela.

Organizatorii Stine Norden si Søren Rud au editat si o carte si au publicat postere si vederi ce promoveaza expozitia de la Copenhaga. Cele mai multe proiecte ale organizatiei CoALife se ocupa de probleme de mediu

si biodiversitate. Intentia campaniilor desfasurate de ei este de a promova dezvoltarea sustenabila. (green-report.ro)

Traieste ca si cand ar fi ultima clipa este o vorba dupa care se ghideaza multi sau multe. Cam asa au facut majoritatea starurilor rock si au sfarsit mai repede decat s-ar fi asteptat. Nu-ti voi cere sa traiesti asa, insa iti voi prezenta cate lucruri pe care din punctul meu de vedere ar trebui sa le incerci intr-o viata.

Variantele le voi da aleatoriu, asa cum imi vin mie in cap si dupa preferintele mele.

1 Mergi la concertul Lenny Kravitz din 26 iulie 2008. Tipul este un fenomen in sine si cine stie cand il vei mai prinde intr-un concert. Lenny Kravitz este unul dintre cei mai apreciati artisti rock din ultimii 20 de ani, atragand atentia inca de la debut printr-un stil inconfundabil, imbinand original influente soul, funk, reggae, hard rock si folk.

Bilete inca se mai gasesc www.myticket.ro si in reteaua magazinelor Diverta.

2 Sari cu parapanta: asa chiar vei avea ce povesti nepotilor. Pentru a zbura trebuie sa te inscrii la un curs. Prima oara vei face un zbor in tandem impreuna cu instructorul care iti va da cateva indicatii legate de ceea ce trebuie sa faci si te va echipa pentru zbor. O sa vezi lumea dintr-o perspectiva absolut inedita, te vei afla printre nori.

Cursul de baza consta in deprinderea de tehnici din domeniul zborului, pe diferite suprafete, la inaltimi intre 40 si 100 de metri. Vei cunoaste echipamentul de zbor: casca, statia radio, seleta, parasuta de rezerva.

Zborul la inaltime il vei efectua dupa cel putin 10 zboruri la inaltime mica. Vor urma astfel cel putin 70 de zboruri peste 300 de metri. Te tenteaza?

3 Viziteaza Barcelona: sa vezi cum traieste si cum se distreaza niste oameni la fel de latini ca si noi, dar mult mai deschisi la minte. Cel mai vizitat oras turistic al Europei, traieste la orice ora a zilei.

Trebuie sa stai cel putin 15 minute si sa te minunezi langa Sagrada Familia, sa vezi parcul Guell, Casa Mila si Batllo si tot ce a creat Gaudi, sa vizitezi Fundatia Joan Miro, muzeul Pablo Picasso, acvariul – cel mai mare din Europa, parcul de distractii Port Aventura – si el cel mai mare din Europa plus multe alte palate, constructii, strazi si magazine, restaurante si cate si mai cate.

4 „Joaca-te” cel putin cu o jucarie sexuala. La 50 de ani nu o sa-ti mai arda de asa ceva. Pretul unui dildo incepe de la 40 de lei si il gasesti in orice sex shop. Nu trebuie sa-l confuzi cu vibratorul. Dildo-ul poate fi folosit atat de femei cat si de barbati . Acestea vin intr-o gama larga de culori, forme, texturi si stiluri.

5. Planteaza un copac. Pentru umbra si aer curat. Pentru toate foile de hartie pe care le-ai consumat inutil.

6. Petrece noaptea sub cerul liber, intr-un hamac sau pe pamant, bine infofolita in sacul de dormit. Daca locuiesti la curte, acest lucru e oricand posibil. Daca nu, fugi la mare cu cortul.

7. Investeste intr-o locuinta mobila, fie yacht, fie alta ambarcatiune cu vele, fie intr-o rulota sau bus super-echipatat si cutreiera lumea.

8. Invinge-ti frica de inaltime imbarcandu-te in cel mai fioros rollercoaster din lume. Dupa care sa ti se para firesc sa sari cu parasuta sau sa faci bungee jumping.

9. Organizeaza o petrecere tematica. Ce-ar fi sa iei legatura cu gasca ta de fete din liceu si sa petreceti ca in zilele voastre de glorie. Incercati sa recreati atmosfera perioadei respective (fie ca e vorba de sfarsitul anilor 80, inceputul sau mijlocul anilor 90) cu ajutorul muzicii? Tinuta in ton cu vremurile sarbatorite e obligatorie!

10. Cunoaste-ti radacinile. Stai de vorba cu parintii, fratii si suroile si incearca sa schitezi un mic arbore genealogic.

11. Invata sa inoti, sa mergi cu bicicleta, sa sari coarda, sa fluieri, sa faci baloane din guma de mestecat si orice alt lucru pe care n-ai reusit sa-l faci cand erai mica.

12. Traieste bine. Nu in acceptiunea presedintelui ci in cea universala. Sa mananci sanatos, sa faci sport, sa traiesti eco, sa nu intarzii dimineata la servici si seara acasa, sa iti suni prietenii si sa iti vizitezi parintii. Macar o zi, odata la o saptamana.

13. Urca pe cel mai inalt varf din tara si sa privesti de sus grijile si problemele lasate in urma.

14. Stai o zi intreaga fara sa vorbesti, fara a scoti nici cel mai mic cuvant. Invata sa asculti.

15. Pleaca intr-o calatorie initiatica. Doar tu cu gandurile tale. Nu trebuie sa ajungi in Tibet si nici sa recreezi traseul lui Santiago de Compostella. Sunt cazuri in care si un drum pana la Gradina Zoologica si inapoi poate fi de ajuns.

16. Ia-ti sotul intr-o a doua luna de miere. Plecati undeva departe doar voi, fara copil, fara catel, fara purcel. Macar pentru o saptamana.

17. Uita-te la un film porno. Fara remuscari, fara resentimente. Ca sa-ti satisfaci curiozitatea si sa nu-ti mai judeci atat de aspru iubitul.

18. Sa te balacesti in mare in pielea goala. Noaptea sau ziua in amiaza mare...oricand te simti in largul tau.

19. Incearca sa traiesti departe de civilizatie, fara electricitate, fara gaze, fara canalizare si fara apa curenta. De pe o zi pe alta, oranduindu-ti viata dupa soarele de pe cer. Mergi in Delta!

20. Traieste pe picior mare chiar daca nu esti bogata. Incearca sa iti inchei ziua cu un pahar de sampanie, sa te infrupti cu trufe la micul dejun. Sa dormi in pielea goala in asternuturi de satin, sa inlocuiesti dusurile cu bai cu spuma. Sa porti ciorapi cu portjartier si sa asculti Sinatra in surdina.

In continuarea articolului de-acum doua saptamani in care iti propuneam 20 de lucruri pe care sa le faci pana la a cincea schimbare a prefixului, iata o noua compilatie, de aceasta data cu locuri - 15 la numar - pe care merita sa le vezi intr-o viata.

Am largit limita de varsta deoarece:

1. E absurd sa-i cer cuiva ca pana la varsta de 50 de ani sa se fi plimbat in ambele emisfere ale lumii.

2. E si mai absurd sa-i ceri cuiva sa se rezume la a vedea doar cele 14 minuni ale lumi (cele 7 ale lumii antice si cele 7 ale lumii contemporane) si atat.

3. Nu ne propunem sa facem o lista a destinatiilor turistice cu sloganuri desprinse din brosuri, ci un "to do" ultra-super-motivational, care sa te indemne sa-ti deschizi orizonturile.

Sa traiesti fiecare zi ca si cum ar fi ultima e oarecum greu de realizat. Haide sa “largim” un pic sensul acestei expresii si sa ne traim fiecare an de-acum incolo ca si cum ar fi ultimul. Iata 20 de destinatii care te asteapta sa le descoperi:

1. Marea Bariera de Corali a Australiei, care scalda Oceanul Indian si o buna bucatica din Pacificul de Sud. Acest organism viu este alcatuit din mai mult de 2800 de recife, din 400 de tipuri diferite de corali, care per total ocupa o suprafata mai mare decat cea a Irlandei si a Marii Britanii la un loc, fiind oficial una dintre cele cinci minuni naturale ale lumii. Aici isi au adapostul peste 10.000 de specii marine unice (6000 de specii de crustacee, moluste, broaste testoase, delfini). Nu trebuie decat sa pui degetul pe harta. Iar daca ai propria ambarcatiune, te vei putea deplasa singura intre Fiji, Heron Island, Insula Koh Tao din Thailanda si coasta de nord a Australiei.

2. Cele mai colorate parcuri de distractii ale lumii, in frunte cu Disneyland sau varianta sa europeana, Eurodisney (Paris). Aminteste-ti de copilarie si de cat de mult te bucurai dupa jumatate de ora de desene animate care preceda Actualitatile. La Disneyland ai sansa sa te invarti in setul de cescute ale Palarielului cel Nebun din Alice in Tara Minunilor, sa dai mana cu Goofy, Minnie si Donald si sa vizitezi castelul lui Mickey din capodopera marelui Disney, “Phantasia”. Daca ai copii, ai inca un motiv sa treci pe lista aceasta destinatie.

3. Noua Zeelanda, Australia, Madagascar, Sumatra si Borneo. Pentru ca sunt habitatul a sute de specii de animale pe care ai sansa sa le vezi doar acolo. Poti vizita rezervatiile de urangutani din Sumatra si Borneo, doua coltisoare de Paradis care au avut cumplit de suferit de pe urma tsunamiului din 2005. Un safari in Madagascar iti ofera sansa de a vedea, printre altele, adorabilele maimute Sifaca cunoscute pentru pirutele pe care le fac. Noua Zeelanda este renumita ca fiind cel mai mare teritoriu lipsit de serpi, problema care le da mare bataie de cap australienilor. In plus, ai ocazia sa vezi cu proprii ochi locatiile spectaculoase in care s-a filmat trilogia Lord of The Rings. Cat despre Australia, opreste-te la Australia Zoo. Fa-o in memoria lui Steve Irwin si a muncii sale de o viata in folosul conservarii faunei si a habitatelor naturale.

4. Bora Bora, Insulele Cayman, Seychelles, Barbados, Tahiti si Jamaica. Pentru ca nimic nu poate fi mai racoritor decat o baie in apele oceanului imposibil de albastre dupa o zi de stat la soare, sorbind din bauturici colorate, garnisite cu umbreluta.

5. Jungla amazoniana. Pentru ca, in ritmul in care au demarat defrisarile comandate de Guvernul Brazilian, nu se stie daca noi sau macar copiii nostri vom mai avea ocazia sa mai vedem vreun petec din ea.

6. Japonia, de la un capat la altul, la inceputul primaverii, cand sarbatoresc Festivalul Florii de Cires. Dat fiind ca Japonia e singura tara care intr-un secol si jumatate a facut saltul de la feudalism la o economie super-tehnologizata, mai e nevoie sa spunem de ce? De la pagode, gheise si armuri de samurai pana la Hello Kitty, Harajuku Girls si talismane norocoase precum Maneki Neko, acolo ai sansa sa le vezi pe toate. Cel mai inalt exemplu de civilizatie!

7. Suedia, Norvegia, Olanda si Danemarca. Pentru ca acolo un om care traieste din ajutor de somaj isi permite o casuta cu mansarda si nu una, ci doua masini. Nivelul de trai este atat de ridicat incat clima aspra nici nu mai conteaza! In tarile nordice fiecare zi e ca o vizita la Ikea, vizita pe care iti permiti sa o faci imbracata din cap pana in picioare in hainutele acelea impecabile de la Marks & Spencer. Asta da viata!

8. Irlanda, pentru ca nicaieri nu vei mai vedea un verde mai verde decat aici. Uita de vorba cu iarba de acasa; aici trifoiul cu patru foi e la el acasa! Pajistile irlandeze par desprinse din reclamele Lacoste. In Dublin densitatea puburilor a ajuns aproape alarmanta, ceea ce nu poate decat sa ne invesealeasca si mai tare. In plus, totul in aer miroase a U2.

9. Dubai, nu doar pentru Burj al Arab – hotelul cu cea mai impresionanta arhitectura din lume – ci pentru tot ce inseamna "man-made civilisation", de la piste de ski acoperite cu zapada (!?) pana la insule artificiale in forma de palmieri. Dovada ca nu toata lumea araba e inapoiata, asa cum am invatat de la americani.

10. Budapesta, Praga si Bratislava, trei capitale care, ca si Bucurestiul, au apartinut fostului bloc comunist. Diferenta dintre oricare dintre ele si capitala noastra este comparabila cu cea de la cer la pamant. De la autostrazi, curatenie, atentia acordata conservarii patrimoniului arhitectural, pana la calitatea oamenilor si a nivelului de trai, cehii, slovacii si ungurii sunt cu 25 de ani inaintea noastra. Trist!

11. Coreea de Nord. Nu, nu e o gluma proasta. Izolata de tot ceea ce inseamna democratie si civilizatie in sensul contemporan si liberal al cuvantului, jumatatea nordica a acestui stat asiatic te va face sa apreciezi ceea ce ai acasa. Cei care s-au incumetat sa viziteze Coreea de Nord si-au triplat recunostinta fata de meleagurile de-acasa, unde macar au posibilitatea de a face baie in mare. In Coreea de Nord, tarmurile sunt ingradite cu gard electric, ca masura de prevenire a trecerii ilegale a granitei. Altfel spus, te nasti nord-coreean, mori nord-coreean. Fiindca nu ai incotro.

12. Londra, Paris, New York, Roma, Berlin, Hong Kong, Tokyo. Altfel spus marile metropole ale lumii. Daca nu pentru mirajul Occidentului (da!da! chiar si a celui din Orient), macar pentru a avea, pe viitor, terment de comparatie.

13. Las Vegas, orasul pacatelor, Sodoma si Gomora a vietii de noapte contemporane. Pentru cazinouri, concertul sustinut de Cher seara de seara la Ceaser’s Palace, pentru sosiile lui Elvis si pentru capelele acelea acoperite cu zorzoane si led-uri, care elibereaza certificate de casatorie pe loc!

14. Cele 7 minuni ale lumii antice sau, mai bine spus, ceea ce a ramas din ele: Colosul din Rhodos (Grecia, insula Rhodos), Piramida lui Keops (Egipt, platoul de la Gizeh), Gradinile Suspendate (Iraq, la 40 km sud de Bagdad), Statuia lui Zeus (Grecia, Olimpia), Templul lui Artemis (Grecia, Efes), farul din Alexandria (Egipt, pe o insula din vecinantatea Alexandriei) si Mausoleul din Halicarnas (Turcia, Bodrum).

15. Cele 7 minuni ale lumii moderne: Statuia lui Hristos (Brazilia), Marele Zid Chinezesc (China), orasul Chichen Itza (Mexic), Machu Picchu (Peru), Colloseumul din Roma, Taj Mahal (India) si Cetatea Petra din Iordania.
