Letter to the Tenant (no mistake, it’s for you), Read, it takes only 2 minutes or so.
Mr tenant, I inform you that the lease we made thousands of years ago is about to expire.It needs to be renewed, but we have to review some fundamental points:1 – You need to pay the energy bill. It’s too high! How do you spend so much?2 – Before I’ve given you plenty of water, today I no longer have that amount. We need to renegotiate your use.3 – Why are there people at home eating enough and others who are starving if the field is so big? If you take good care of the land, there will be food for everyone!4 – You cut trees that gave shade, air and balance. The sun is very hot and the heat has increased. Think about starting to plant them again!5 – All animals and plants in my huge garden must be cared for and preserved I looked for some animals and didn’t find them. When I leased you the house they existed…6 – I did not see the fish that lived in rivers and lakes. Did you catch them all? NOT?! So where are they?7 – What strange colors are these that I see in the sky?! I don’t see blue!8 – Speaking now of garbage, what is this dirt, hey??? I found strange objects along the way! Tires, plastics… what is this?Well, it’s time to talk. I need to know if you want to continue living here. If so, what do you want to do to fulfill the contract? I wish you were always with me but everything has a limit.Do you want to stop and think? I await your answers and attitudes….SINCERELY: Your house, Earth
From the PowerPoint presentation “Carta al inquilino” by Pequeñas Semillitas
“What’s the name of this film in which the artist who appears is beautiful?… Yes man! Tall, with black hair. The one who sometimes worked with that wonderful actor he calls himself… who worked on a very famous play. You already know who I’m talking about, don’t you?”
30. And so we start
From the age of thirty, in general, we start to notice that we have little forgetfulness:
What’s this boy’s name? I know him so well.
What time was the meeting, at 5:00 or 5:30?
This, how did they tell me it worked?
My keys, where did I leave them?
What floor am I parked on?
But nothing like when we exclaim… “They stole my car!” Without realizing that we left through another door of the shopping center.
Even though these small oversights do not affect our lives, they cause us anxiety. With terror, we think that the brain is starting to turn to jelly and we are worried about becoming like this elderly aunt, who remembers in small details everything about her childhood, but cannot remember what she did yesterday or even this morning.If this sounds familiar, don’t worry, be hopeful. There are many myths where people mistakenly link age with poor memory. Neuroscientists have proven that: Short-term memory loss is not due to the age or death of neurons, which die but regenerate, but to the reduction in the number of connections between them, of neurons or dentrites (branches of neurons).This happens for a simple reason: lack of use. It’s very simple. Just as an unused muscle atrophies, dentrites also atrophy if they don’t bind often, and the brain’s ability to receive new information is reduced. Admittedly, exercise helps a lot to alert the mind; there are also vitamins and medicines that enhance and strengthen memory. However, there’s nothing like making our brain manufacture its own food: Neurotrophins.The neurotrophins They are molecules that produce and secrete nerve cells and act as food to stay healthy. The more active the brain cells are, the more neurotrophins they produce and this creates more connections between different areas of the brain.What can we do? What we need is to do pilates with the neurons: – stretch them, – surprise them, – get out of your routine, – introduce them to unexpected news and fun through emotions, smell, sight, touch, taste and hearing. The result? The brain becomes more flexible, more agile, and your memory capacity increases.You probably think… I read, work, exercise and a thousand other things during the day. So my mind must be very stimulated. The truth is that most of our lives become a series of routines… Think of a common, running day or week. What’s different about your daily routine? The way to work, the time you eat or return home, the time you spend in the car, the time and programs you watch on television?Routine activities are unconscious They make the brain work automatically and require a minimum of energy. Experiences go through the same neural pathways already formed. There is no production of neurotrophins.Some exercises that substantially expand dentrites and neurotrophin production:
TRY at least once a week to take a shower with your eyes closed. Just by touching it, locating the taps, adjusting the water temperature, picking up soap, shampoo or shaving cream. You’ll see how your hands will notice textures you never noticed before.
USE NON-dominant hand. Eat, write, open the toothpaste, brush your teeth, open the drawer with the hand that costs you most to use.
READ out loud: different circuits will be activated, in addition to the ones you use to read silently.
CHANGE your routes, go through different paths to go to work or home.
CHANGE your routine. Do different things. Go out, meet and talk to people of different ages, jobs and ideologies. Experience the unexpected. Use the stairs instead of the elevator. Go out into the field, walk, hear yourself.
CHANGE the location of some things. It knows where everything is, the brain has already built a map. For example, move the trash can, and you’ll see the number of times you’ll dump it in the old place.
LEARN a skill. Anything: photography, cooking, yoga, studying a new language. If you like puzzles or pictures, cover one eye to lose depth perception, so the brain has to trust and look for other routes.
IDENTIFY objects. Place a container with several different coins in the car and feel with your hand so that, while you are standing at a traffic light, try to identify each one with your fingers.
Why don’t we open our minds and try these simple exercises that, according to Duke University Medical Center Neurobiology studies, expand our memory?
Hopefully, we’ll never ask again: “Where did I leave my keys?”
Perhaps one of the most exciting characters from the Avengers ensamble, the Black Widow symbolizes the way we humans can stretch our potential and use our skills in an astonishing potential.
Scarlett Johansson brought this character to life and it is its definitive version.
This movie brings emotion and a back story to the Black Widow that you can relate, without breaking any previous storyline.
For me was adventure, action and a pretty good story-line for about the 2 hours of its length.
Scarlett Johansson, Florence Pugh, Rachel Weisz and David Harbour really made one of the most out of reality cool family!

Poetry and poem by Fernando Pessoa. Fernando António Nogueira Pessoa (1888 — 1935) was a Portuguese poet, philosopher, playwright, essayist, translator, advertiser, astrologer, inventor, entrepreneur, business correspondent, literary critic and political commentator. One of the greatest poetic geniuses in all of our Literature and one of the few Portuguese writers known worldwide. His poetry turned out to be decisive in the evolution of all Portuguese poetic production in the 20th century. If the Symbolist heritage is still notorious in him, Pessoa went further, not only with regard to the creation (and invention) of new artistic and literary attempts, but also with regard to the effort at theorization and literary criticism. He is a universal poet, insofar as he gave us, even with contradictions, a simultaneously multiple and unitary vision of Life. It is precisely in this attempt to look at the world in a multiple way (with a strong substrate of rationalist philosophy and even oriental influence) that lies a plausible explanation for having created the famous heteronyms – Alberto Caeiro, Álvaro de Campos and Ricardo Reis, not to mention with the semi-heteronym Bernardo Soares.
Once upon a time there were four individuals who were called Everyone, Somebody, Each One and Nobody. There was important work to be done, and Everyone was asked to do it. Everyone was sure Somebody would. Each One could have done it, but in reality Nobody did it. Somebody got angry because it was Everyone’s job! Everyone thought that Each One could have done it and Nobody doubted that Somebody would. In the end, Everyone criticized Each Other because Nobody had done what Somebody could have done.
Story’s moral
Without wanting to recriminate Everyone, it would be good for Each One to do what they should do without hoping that Somebody will do it in their place… Experience shows that where Somebody is expected, there is usually Nobody. I am passing it on to Everyone so that Each One can pass it on to Somebody without forgetting Nobody.
