People should look forward to retirement (Samuel Santiago)

As we are getting old, we have to think that it is time to look forward to retirement.

The retirement make a point of the end of one stage in our lives and we should think that it is a positive thing. From this moment we can spend our times in our families, our grandsons and another range of possibilities. It is better to think that we can enjoy our lives more than before because before, we have to work every day, and if we can not do this we might get depressed, and a lot of people fall in this.

Definitively when we have to take the decision to stop to work ant start the new life as a retired we have two choices, to get depressed or look forward to the new tipe of life that we start.

Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche

Nietzsche was born in 1844 in Prussia. He began his academic career asa philologist and produced critiques of religion, morality, contemporary culture, philosophy and science. Nietzsche's works make a distinctive style, tending more to the aphoristic, and to the paradoxical than didstandard contemporary philosophic treatises.
Hereceived recognition during the first half of the 20th century in German, French and British intellectual circles. He gained notoriety when the Naci Party apropiated him as a forebear, despite Nietzsche's profesed opposition to antisemitism and German nationalism but in concert with Nietzsche specific anti-christiamanti-judaism. After World War II Kaufman embarked in the english speaking world.
Directly and mediately through Heidegger, he influenced existencialism, postmodernism, psychoanalysis and libertalism. Althougt he hadbecome a professor at age 25, and then heleft due to illness at age 34 with a pension in 1879. He died in 1900

I don`t like this place. Send me back!

The fifth beatle!
Brian Epstein! was the manager of The Beatles. He made this group one of the most famous bands in the history. He decided to improve the image of this unknown group. Furthermore he took care of all their business affairs. He died in 1967. Therefore, the band had a lot of trouble and finally in 1970 they broke up. How sad! Snif, snif.

I don´t like the kind of music The Beatles played: pop music. I don`t like recent pop music neither because it is always the same rythim and it is always the music people listen to everywhere. I prefer reggae but not reggaeton. The most important singer of my favourite music is Bob Marley. Finally, I like this kind of music because the rythim makes me feel like in a fantasy world and the music is so pure.
