The picture of our life.

This picture is about at least 12 years ago, when i was like 8 years i think. There we can see some children playing in the yard of a building, wich is the one that i live now.
In that times, I used to have a lot o friends neighbors that lived in my building, but really a lot. We got together after the school and play different kind of games, as Hide and Seek or "a la pinta", and stayed all day together util our mothers call us to go to bed.
Now, remembering these years, I realize that I really enjoyed my friends, and learned so much about them. It's very sad that nowadays I don't know nothing about them, were they live and what are they doing with their lifes. I think I owe a great part of my personaity to them.
In that times you didn't need advanced technology to entertain yourself, the computers, ipods and consoles were unnecessary. It was as simply as going out of your house and search a friend to have a good time. I remember that with my little brother, every evening we went throught all the departaments searching our friends to go to the yard and invent all type of games. I really miss that period of my life, were friendship was real, innocent and transparent.
My best friends nowadays, are great and I enjoy being with them, but there are many other concerns and things to do, that the time that I spend with them is to short.
Friends are one of the most important things in the life of any person, maybe the most important with our families, and if we don't spend time on them, relationship won't be the same as in the beginning. We have to take care of our friends.
Thats all, hope you like the picture...

Growing out of Creativity

After watching Sir Ken Robinson speech about Schools Kill Creativity, I think I'm in completely agreement with his words. Nowadays we are losing one of the better sources of creativity because our way of education. Instead of making stronger children abilities and difersifying knowledge, we are making equal minds and cutting capacities that many childs really can develop. As it's sayed in the video, "All children are born artists", what I really think is true because when you are younger you don't know all the types of laws and rules that you learn when you grow up, and I think breaking them is a choise to make creativity things. Children aren't afraid of making mistakes and going wrong, the opposite happens when we get older, we are afraid of all type of mistakes, making us a lot of questions and complicating our lifes. There is another sentence that I liked of the video: "If you're not prepared to be wrong, you would never come up with anything original", what I think is completely true.

Let's listen our children ideas, sometimes they are not that bad us we think they are, let's educate them but also making stronger their abilities and increase their capacities. When you are child, nothing is wrong until an adult tell it.

see you!
